VODG Spotlight on Maximising Your Microsoft Investment

Learn how to unlock hidden value from your Microsoft investment through tools, training, funding and AI.

Many organisations already hold Microsoft licences that provide access to a wide range of tools, training opportunities and support services, yet significant value often remains untapped. As providers continue to balance operational pressures, cyber security requirements and digital transformation ambitions, understanding how to maximise existing technology investments has never been more important.

This practical session will explore how organisations can unlock greater value from their Microsoft investment through the Microsoft Elevate programme. Attendees will gain insight into commonly overlooked capabilities, available funding opportunities, free training resources and support designed to help organisations strengthen digital adoption and improve outcomes.

The session will also examine how organisations can enhance cyber security, improve workforce productivity and explore emerging AI capabilities, including Microsoft Copilot. Through practical examples and real-world success stories, attendees will learn how similar organisations have leveraged Microsoft's tools and programmes to accelerate their digital journey without increasing costs.

Designed for chief executives, directors, digital leads and operational leaders, this session will provide practical advice and actionable opportunities to help organisations make better use of the technology they already own.

Key takeaways:

  • An overview of common Microsoft licences and capabilities organisations may already have access to.
  • Underused tools and features that can improve productivity, collaboration and efficiency.
  • Available funding, grants and support through Microsoft Elevate.
  • Free training and adoption resources to help maximise staff engagement and digital confidence.
  • Practical approaches to strengthening cyber security and organisational resilience.
  • Opportunities to explore AI-powered tools, including Microsoft Copilot, and their application in social care.
  • Real-world examples of how similar organisations have unlocked greater value from their Microsoft investment.
