If you are depressed about your company buying Microsoft 365 Copilot (the one for Office - I know they have multiple products with the same product name) or Security Copilot, don’t be.

Companies are very good at buying Microsoft products and then never deploying them properly, and/or renewing them without using them.
Enterprise IT is basically a yearly cycle of “do we need to renew this PO?” followed by “I dunno if anybody uses it but just renew it in case they do or politics”.

I’ve talked to loads of orgs who renew Darktrace each year, knowing nobody uses it, as the CISO has too much political capital to lose by admitting they purchased a turkey.
Microsoft IT had a load of products they renew which they didn’t use either. Nexthink was one.

@GossiTheDog If people spend billions on Microsoft Office, why can't we find millions for open source?

@GossiTheDog Security spending flowchart:
"Do we actually use this security product?" -> No -> Renew anyway
"Does this junior analyst role have a notable impact on the wider team and business?" -> Absolutely yes -> Get rid of 'em

@GossiTheDog is it also common for corporates to buy the fully featured enterprise licenses for 365 and then disable the majority of the features in the admin console?
