Software-Update

Claude in Microsoft 365 via Azure AI Foundry

Azure AI Foundry Managed Services

Once your Foundry environment is live, Nexian takes on ongoing management — keeping it current, compliant, and cost-efficient as your usage grows and Microsoft evolves the platform.

Claude in Microsoft 365, via Foundry

When Anthropic releases the Azure AI Foundry integration for Claude, Nexian will offer Claude hosted within Foundry and integrated into the M365 stack — giving law firms the choice of Copilot or Claude as their AI interface, both running on the same compliant Azure infrastructure.

This means the model can change. The infrastructure — and your investment in it — stays the same.

M365 Copilot
Enablement

Before any AI service delivers value, the M365 tenant underneath it needs to be correctly configured. Nexian's Copilot Enablement service gets this right — and keeps it right over time — delivered at scale via Inforcer, our multi-tenant M365 management platform.
AI-Automatioms

Automated Readiness Assessment

Scored across data governance, access controls, Purview configuration, and security posture — completed in under two hours via Inforcer.
Reporting

Sensitivity Labels & Purview Policies

Data classification and DLP policies configured correctly before Copilot goes live — preventing data exposure from day one.
Maintenance

Configuration Drift Detection

Automatic alerts if tenant settings deviate from the agreed baseline — so a single admin change doesn't undo your Copilot governance.
Test

Adoption Monitoring & Licence Optimisation

Ongoing reporting on Copilot usage, feature adoption, and licence utilisation — so you're not paying for seats that aren't being used.
