wEBINAR #1
AI in Enterprise Reporting: Comparing Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Foundry
- June 2nd | 1:00 PM CT
AI is increasingly being used to supplement enterprise reporting, but different approaches deliver very different results. In this session, Keller Schroeder shares lessons learned from a hands-on discovery project comparing three Microsoft-based options for reporting against an Azure SQL database: Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and a custom solution built using Microsoft Foundry.
Through live demos and practical examples, we’ll explore where each approach fits, where it doesn’t, and the tradeoffs that matter most, including accuracy, trust, cost, governance, and ongoing ownership, so attendees can better evaluate which approach makes the most sense for their reporting needs.

wEBINAR #2
Practical AI Strategy: A Business-First Approach to Driving Real Value
- June 17th | 9:00 AM CT
Keller Schroeder explores how organizations can intentionally and responsibly apply AI to real business processes, starting with familiar examples. Rather than beginning with the technology or data, we take an outcome-first, data-driven approach to determine when and where AI adds the most value, ensuring it augments human judgment rather than replacing it.
In this session, we’ll walk through a sampling of use cases to illustrate how intelligent automation can reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and manage risk. We’ll also walk through our AI Decision Tree to help you identify uses cases on your own that may or may not be a great fit for AI. You will walk away with a repeatable, scalable method for identifying and deploying AI opportunities across your organization.

Securing AI: Practical Governance, Data Protection, and Application Risks You Can Address Today
- July 1st | 1:30 PM CT
AI adoption is accelerating, but organizations are either moving too fast to secure it or too cautiously to realize its value.
In this session, we’ll break down practical, real-world strategies to help you safely roll out AI capabilities without slowing innovation. We’ll cover how to establish the right governance framework, protect sensitive data, and address emerging risks in AI-enabled applications.
Whether you’re experimenting with tools like Copilot or building custom AI solutions, this webinar will provide clear guidance to reduce risk while moving forward with confidence.
