EncompaaS Adds AI Capabilities to Enhance Copilot for Business

Enterprise AI data platform provider EncompaaS has unveiled new platform capabilities designed to enhance Microsoft Copilot’s ability to generate accurate, business-specific responses that deliver meaningful value and insights to users.

Transforming data into a strategic asset

The new capabilities allow Copilot to discover, classify, and enrich information across the entire data estate. According to EncompaaS, this helps address a common challenge with generative AI assistants: their inability to distinguish between final documents, drafts, and templates, which can result in the use of incorrect information and in irrelevant or hallucinated responses. 

“The key differentiator with EncompaaS is that Copilot is sourcing data that’s already been classified, enriched with metadata, and aligned to business purpose,” said Jaimie Tilbrook, chief product officer at EncompaaS. 

“That means Copilot delivers accurate, relevant, and trustworthy answers, eliminating second-guessing and enabling users to act with confidence.”

The new capabilities also address AI assistants’ limited access to the whole enterprise data landscape, including legacy systems, file shares, and unstructured repositories. These gaps often prevent assistants from delivering accurate, well-informed answers.

“This release lays the foundation for clarity, control, and confidence with Copilot,” Tilbrook added. 

“Our mission is to help organizations transform data into a strategic asset, allowing them to get the value from Copilot they have set out to achieve. We recognize that customers are on an AI transformation journey, and each customer is at a different phase of that journey.”

The new features allow Copilot to: 

• Enrich data with metadata and business purpose classifications, allowing Copilot to perform precise searches and exclude irrelevant content 
• Automate governance and apply policies to ensure compliance, security, and privacy requirements are met 
• Preserve and enforce access controls so Copilot only returns content users are authorized to see 
• Filter Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from responses to maintain compliance with privacy regulations

EncompaaS also envisions these capabilities empowering partners to build domain-specific AI agents, particularly for organizations in highly regulated industries such as finance, HR, and government.

The AI transformation journey

In an official press release covering the new features, EncompaaS highlighted the “enterprise AI transformation journey” as outlined by Microsoft.

Microsoft described the journey in three phases: 

1. human assistant 
2. 2 human-led agents
3. 3 agent-operated workflows. 

With its platform, EncompaaS aims to help organizations prepare their data, governance, and systems so they can progress from Phase 1 today, move into Phase 2 in the near term, and lay the foundations for Phase 3 as those capabilities mature.

“The shift toward agentic AI isn’t about adopting a canned solution – it’s about enabling organizations to re-engineer their processes with intelligence and control,” said Jesse Todd, chief executive officer at EncompaaS.

“EncompaaS ensures that when organizations introduce AI into their workflows, it’s operating from a foundation of trusted, business-ready data. That’s how we help customers realise meaningful transformation,” Todd added.
