For What It’s Worth: Aaron Wadsworth on Accelerating AI Adoption

Everywhere you look – in education, public policy, workforces, media, even popular culture – people are talking about the impact and potential of artificial intelligence (AI). Organizations are already implementing AI solutions that greatly enhance efficiency, productivity, creativity, and decision making. I’m excited about AI, but for reasons that may surprise you. I see two types of people in this space: The ones making things happen with AI, and the people like us who are going to make AI happen.

Over the past 15 years, IT service providers have partnered with BitTitan to implement technologies that have transformed the way organizations work, manage data, innovate, and serve their markets. You introduced customers to the safety and flexibility of the cloud, then accelerated cloud adoption to meet the demands of the modern workplace. As companies sought to increase efficiency and productivity, you moved data for a seemingly endless parade of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and tenant consolidations. MigrationWiz – and your migration expertise – made all this happen.

And you’re the one who’s going to make AI happen.

Your success is what matters to me most. As General Manager of BitTitan, I’m committed to helping you build your business with the future in mind. There are amazing changes on the horizon. We’re already seeing how data migration will be the key to unlocking the benefits.

Migration is the Key to Microsoft Copilot

With the introduction of Copilot, enterprise AI from Microsoft, there’s a new path to profitability for IT service providers who have migration expertise. Microsoft rewards partners who move companies and workloads to the cloud, increasing Azure consumption. There’s still a steady flow of migration projects to be had as organizations continue to experience the benefits of the cloud.

Copilot adoption increases opportunities for Azure consumption and the potential for substantial migration projects. The reason is simple, but the migrations may be complex. A consolidated cloud tenant will set the stage for effective Copilot implementation. But your customers are also looking for help with strategies that make the right data available for Copilot access while keeping sensitive data secure.

I’m leading a team dedicated to developing and fine-tuning MigrationWiz so that it continues to be the best tool for moving your customers to the cloud and making the most of Copilot and AI. As you know, a successful migration project is more than getting data to where it needs to be. BitTitan supports your entire project, from planning all the way to post-migration cleanup. For a complex Copilot preparedness project, you can use MigrationWiz to perform your migration project assessment – to document the environment and understand exactly what needs to be moved or consolidated. An accurate assessment allows you to confidently price and scope each migration project, increasing both profitability and customer satisfaction.

Copilot opens up new possibilities

Preparing customers for Copilot is expected to give a boost to migration business as well as Azure consumption. As we learn together about the possibilities of enterprise AI, your customers may also look to you for help exploring ways they can use it to enhance operations and services. This will create opportunities for you to expand service offerings, build custom solutions, or target a specific market niche. As you focus on understanding and predicting your customers’ needs, you’ll see the ways you can continue to be their long-term partner and go-to solutions provider.

Meanwhile, your migration expertise – and MigrationWiz in your toolkit – will help you accelerate your customers into the future. I’m excited to partner with you as we make AI happen. Let me or your customer success team know how we can support you.
