Artificial intelligence is taking the world by storm, and small businesses are no exception. In fact, recent research shows that more than half of small business owners (56%) believe their businesses could benefit from AI solutions to improve efficiency and streamline operations. With Microsoft 365 Copilot, small businesses now have an accessible way to leverage the transformative power of AI in their day-to-day operations.
This presents a prime opportunity for managed service providers (MSPs) to build a new service offering around preparing, securing, and optimizing Copilot, helping their customers take advantage of the AI boom and drive critical efficiencies. And now, it’s as easy as ever to build your Copilot service stream by not only leveraging AvePoint solutions but also activating them through our easy-to-use go-to-market toolkit, exclusively available for AvePoint Partners.
In this blog, we’ll explore how our GTM kit can help you generate new business and position your MSP as a leader in the industry.
Introducing AvePoint Campaign in a Box Kit
At AvePoint, we understand that MSPs play a critical role in delivering innovative solutions to their clients and driving digital transformation in small businesses.

Why All MSPs Can Offer Microsoft 365 Copilot Services
Many MSPs may feel hesitant to offer Microsoft 365 Copilot services, especially those who are new to the AI space. However, most MSPs are more prepared than they think; many MSPs have built their businesses on information management and governance, and these same skills apply to AI preparation and implementation.
At the foundation of any AI implementation lies data, and Copilot is no different, relying on data in Microsoft 365 to generate its output. As with any AI model, the quality of Copilot is directly proportional to the quality of the data it is trained on. What sets Copilot apart is its ability to access and pull information from anywhere it has permission to do so. This is what makes it so valuable; users don’t need to sift through hundreds of documents to get the information they need. However, it does respect privacy and security settings, making it critical to ensure appropriate access controls are in place.
This is where MSPs come in: you are experts in the inner workings of your clients’ tenants, making them well-equipped to handle the data strategy needed for Copilot services. Think of the many hours you may have spent establishing an information architecture, governance policies, or even a data tagging strategy, giving you a deep understanding of a typical business’s data landscape.
With this expertise and the new Microsoft 365 Copilot Campaign in a Box kit, MSPs can confidently market and sell their Copilot services, regardless of their experience with AI. And by following AvePoint’s three-step approach to Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment, MSPs can ensure successful implementation of Microsoft 365 Copilot across their clients’ tenants.
