  • Why Deep Shah IT Consulting

    I bring Microsoft Azure architecture, security, and infrastructure expertise to AI consulting — so your AI adoption is built on solid technical foundations, not just bolted on. I work within the Microsoft ecosystem you already use, handle governance and security, and focus on measurable business outcomes. No vendor lock-in, no hype, no unnecessary complexity.

    Common questions about this service

    What is Microsoft Copilot consulting?

    It means helping your business assess readiness, identify the best use cases, plan a rollout, configure governance, and train your team on Microsoft 365 Copilot. The goal is making sure Copilot delivers real productivity gains — not just adding another license to your bill.

    Can you help us decide if Copilot is worth the investment?

    Yes. I assess your current Microsoft 365 usage, identify high-value use cases for your team, and estimate potential time savings. You get a clear recommendation with expected ROI before committing to licenses.

    What is Microsoft Foundry and when do we need it?

    Microsoft Foundry (formerly Azure AI Studio) is a platform for building custom AI solutions — chatbots, knowledge assistants, document processing, and more. You need it when off-the-shelf Copilot features are not enough and you want AI trained on your own business data.

    Can AI agents automate internal business tasks?

    Yes. AI agents can handle approvals, data entry, report generation, customer inquiries, scheduling, and other repetitive workflows. I help you identify the best candidates for automation and build agents within the Microsoft ecosystem.

    Do you help with AI governance and security?

    Absolutely. AI governance is critical — you need to control what data AI can access, who can use it, and how outputs are used. I design governance frameworks, configure data loss prevention, and ensure your AI adoption meets compliance requirements.

    Is this for small businesses or only enterprises?

    Both. Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI agents are available to businesses of all sizes. I specialize in helping small and mid-sized businesses adopt AI practically — right-sized for your team and budget, without enterprise-level complexity.

    Can you help us find AI use cases before we commit to tools?

    That is exactly where I recommend starting. I run a use case discovery session with your team to identify where AI will save the most time and deliver the highest ROI — before you buy any licenses or commit to any platform.

    How do you price AI consulting?

    Like all my engagements — transparent, written quotes upfront. Discovery and planning can be a fixed-scope project. Ongoing advisory and implementation can be hourly or retainer-based. No hidden fees.
