    The opportunity

    You already pay for Microsoft 365, and the AI inside it is ready to work. We make it safe, useful, and part of every day: the setup, the training, the agents, and the running of it, month after month.

    What we do

    Four services built on the Microsoft stack you already own. Start where the value is clearest, then add the rest as you grow, with the same team throughout.

    Copilot readiness

    Make Microsoft 365 safe for Copilot before you switch it on.

    Copilot can surface anything a person has access to, including files nobody realised were shared too widely. We get your people, data, and licensing ready, then show you where AI will pay off first.

    AI agents & insights

    Agents that take on the busywork, and dashboards that show what's really happening.

    We build agents in Copilot Studio that handle repetitive work inside your own Microsoft 365 environment, and turn your data into live Power BI dashboards on Microsoft Fabric. Every build starts small, proves its value, then scales.

    Managed AI & data

    Your data protection, reporting, and agents, looked after every month.

    AI isn't set and forget. Your data changes, AI use grows, and Microsoft ships updates constantly. We keep governance tuned, your reporting platform healthy, and your agents improving, backed by the StartCloud security team.

    Watch it handle a request

    1. Ask in Teams

      Your people ask in plain English, right where they already work. No new app to learn.

    2. Answers from your own files

      The agent finds the answer in your SharePoint policies and documents, and shows where it came from.

    3. Takes the next step

      Power Automate submits the request, updates the calendar, and lets the right person know.

    4. Stays within policy

      Your existing permissions and Microsoft Purview decide what it can see. Each person only sees what they already could.
