A practical guide to choosing AI for company knowledge and workflows
Microsoft Copilot is closely integrated with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. yeos is designed to connect company knowledge and workflows across systems while providing Swiss data residency. The right fit depends on your sources, processes, and governance requirements.
01
Microsoft Copilot supports individual productivity and is closely integrated with Microsoft 365. yeos is designed for teams that want to connect shared knowledge bases, cross-system workflows, and repeatable processes.
The better fit depends on your Microsoft ecosystem, additional data sources, and requirements for approvals, citations, and traceability.
02
For Swiss companies, data residency is strategic. yeos runs on Swiss infrastructure. With Microsoft Copilot, the concrete data location depends on the product, tenant, contract, and setup, and should be verified before deployment.
With either solution, companies should configure and document sources, permissions, logging, and data flows for the specific use case.
03
Microsoft Copilot is closely integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem and can work with Microsoft tools and agents depending on the product and configuration. yeos also connects external tools and APIs through OpenAPI imports and collections.
This enables cross-system routine workflows to be prepared or automated while keeping access, approvals, and the workflow itself controlled.
04
yeos provides granular control over prompts, models, and limits per agent. This allows teams to fine-tune behavior for finance, HR, support, or project management without creating overlapping or conflicting assistants.
Governance is explicit. Approvals, escalation paths, and audit trails are part of the system rather than add-ons. This makes it easier to roll out AI in stages and keep accountability aligned with business policies.
05
Microsoft Copilot and yeos can play different roles in an organization: Copilot for closely integrated Microsoft 365 work, yeos for cross-source company knowledge and cross-system workflows.
SMEs should start with a concrete use case and review data flows, approvals, sources, and measurable outcomes before expanding adoption.
