Technology is advancing faster than many of us can keep track of.  Colas IS Support works hard behind the scenes to keep the lights on for Colas North America, while also actively keeping up with the cutting edge of technology.

Everyone has heard of Microsoft, from Windows to Xbox to Office.  Our global IT team works hard to make sure all the updates to our Microsoft software are going to have a positive impact for us.  That said, Microsoft Copilot is the newest Artificial Intelligence technology that Colas will soon adopt.  Copilot couldn’t be a more perfect name for these supportive AI features that will assist you as a virtual “copilot” when using Microsoft applications.  While some of you may be lucky enough to test Copilot in the coming months, the rest of us will be able to subscribe for a fee in the second half of the year.  Let’s break down what this tool will do to enhance everyday systems like Teams, Outlook and PowerPoint.

Have you heard of ChatGPT?

It’s a public AI processing tool on the internet to answer questions and assist with tasks such as creating graphics, composing emails, writing code and so much more by the day. However, be aware that everything you type and upload to ChatGPT becomes public and feeds the algorithm.   To maintain our goal of security as a priority Colas has created its own COLAS GPT Playground which keeps our data private.  Now the possibilities are endless.  Give it a try and see how you can make your life easier!
