The survey revealed that 87.5% of respondents feel that the distribution of information required for work across multiple systems, both inside and outside of M365, is a challenge.
Additionally, 96.2% of companies responded that if an AI environment existed that could perform cross-platform searching and utilization of internal information stored in systems outside of M365, in addition to Copilot, it would expand their company's utilization of AI.
Sojitz Tech-Innovation analyzes that while the implementation of Copilot and M365 improves efficiency in tasks such as document creation, the search burden caused by information fragmentation remains a challenge, noting that the demand for environments capable of cross-platform searching and utilization of internal information is increasing.
