If you're already using Copilot but feel there's more it could do for you, we've got you covered. Joe Bertnick and Michael Trieu are hosting an Ask Me Anything session to show you how to write better prompts, demo high-value everyday tasks and answer any questions you might have. If you're interested in the topic but can't make it, register anyway and we'll send you the recording.

What if that Microsoft 365 subscription you’re paying for is actually your biggest untapped advantage? If you feel a mix of FOMO and curiosity every time someone mentions Copilot, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Join other UK business leaders who are already experimenting with AI, hear the honest stories of what flopped and what flew, then sit down at themed roundtables to ask Backbone experts your real, slightly scary questions about AI, agents, cybersecurity, Cyber Essentials and Microsoft licensing. You’ll walk out with practical ideas you can actually try the next day—not theory, just the stuff that works for teams like yours. 📅 5 November 📍 Hilton London Tower Bridge

What do our clients actually get from our managed service Secure Modern Workplace? The confidence that their cyber security is handled properly. The ability to work smarter, because the security foundations are the same foundations that let you adopt AI safely. And time back. Libby Morgan, then Systems and Technology Manager at Pilotlight, said it better than we could. Once the foundations were set in place by Backbone, her team could start using Microsoft Copilot properly. Meeting summaries. Research. General support work. Microsoft's own reporting put the saving at roughly 300 hours across the team in a single period. That is the message we try to send out to all customers: security first, then everything else gets easier. Listen to Libby's full testimonial on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eYFMyAQP

The paradox we see so often. Most of the companies we talk to are less secure than they think. And they're not underinvested in cyber tools. Their problem is these tools aren't properly configured and monitored. So this is where we start onboarding our customers - understand where they are, start configuring what they have and, most importantly, monitor it. If that sounds like you, give us a call. We're keen to help 👋

Growing businesses don't want to solve IT problems, they want the outcome: be secured all year round, use AI safely and increase their team's productivity. But the big providers don't prioritise you, and the small ones can't keep up once you've outgrown them. As an SME ourselves, we understand this well. If you'd like to know how our Secure Modern Workplace for growing companies works - and how it's different, we'd be happy to speak to you.

You don’t need another glossy AI keynote, you need proof from businesses that look like yours. At this event, you’ll hear straight from UK SMB leaders who are using Microsoft 365 Copilot today, comparing what they tried, what failed fast, and what’s delivering real results. Then you’ll join six focused roundtables with Backbone experts to tackle your questions on AI and agents, cybersecurity, Cyber Essentials, and Microsoft licensing, so you can stress‑test ideas before you invest. With insights from Microsoft, Bytes and Backbone, you leave with a clearer roadmap and concrete next steps tailored to your business. 📅 5 November 📍 Hilton London Tower Bridge
