Comparison / AIGIS resources

A Copilot alternative when enterprise AI must reach beyond Microsoft 365.

Microsoft Copilot is compelling for Microsoft 365 productivity. AIGIS addresses a different problem: governed access to operational enterprise data across CRM, ERP, ITSM, databases, and warehouses.

Executive read

The short version, before the deep dive.

Copilot is strongest in Microsoft productivity workflows.

AIGIS is strongest where operational system permissions matter.

AIGIS can use Microsoft-hosted models without locking governance to Microsoft.

The platform is designed for field-level governance and permission provenance.

Analysis

What matters

Productivity AI is not operational AI

Summarizing a document is different from answering a governed question across CRM, ERP, support, and database systems. Operational AI needs the same security semantics as the systems it touches.

AIGIS focuses on that operational layer: object access, record visibility, field permissions, identity mapping, write confirmation, and audit-grade provenance.

Model flexibility without governance drift

AIGIS can route to GPT, Claude, Gemini, Bedrock, or private models while keeping the same governance pipeline in front of every model.

That separation matters because model decisions should be reversible. Governance decisions should be durable.

Where AIGIS fits with Microsoft

Some enterprises will keep Copilot for Microsoft 365 and use AIGIS for operational enterprise systems. Others will use AIGIS as the single governed AI surface across all connected systems.

The key is avoiding a world where every vendor AI can only see its own island of data.
