Interlink Cloud Advisors, a top Microsoft partner and early Copilot adopter, is making waves in the AI and Copilot space; with Rachael Narel, Employee Engagement and Productivity Practice Lead, leading the charge.
As highlighted in the recent CRN article, “Satya Nadella Has Microsoft in the AI Driver’s Seat”, Narel's Microsoft-funded workshops are drawing a diverse group of attendees from a wide range of industries, from CEOs to IT professionals, showcasing the wide-reaching potential of AI and Copilot in almost any workspace. This engagement from top executives is not only driving interest but also fostering a culture of involvement among end users. According to Narel, “Seeing that the executives are engaged on this makes the end users feel more engaged in this as well,”.
Narel's efforts extend beyond workshops, as she collaborates with customers to establish centers of excellence and communities of practice for long-term AI and Copilot adoption and use. With Microsoft's support, including funding and tools for readiness assessments and ROI demonstrations, Interlink is committed to providing continuous education and support, especially when it comes to the capabilities and realities of working with AI. The high demand for Narel's expertise, often booking her team for weeks, emphasizes the value customers are currently placing on Narel and Interlink’s guidance concerning the adoption of Copilot and AI.
Interlink's participation in Microsoft’s Copilot Jumpstart program and comprehensive offerings have to new business opportunities. “I’ve had several new professional services engagements with net-new customers coming in because of our Jumpstart program partnership and because of the offerings that we have,” Narel mentioned.
Narel’s extensive use of Copilot in her daily work provides real-world examples that resonate with customers—she is quoted in the article saying, “That’s a game-changer for us also working with customers—being able to show the real-world use cases, but a lived-out use case and not just, ‘Here is stuff we heard from other customers.’”. This adoption and demonstration on Narel’s part underscores Interlink’s commitment to the proper utilization and education of this innovative technology.
