In this first blog of the series, Sitecore veteran Bruce Davis-Goff talks about his journey from disillusionment with all-in-one monoliths, his leap to headless, and ultimately returning full circle back to Sitecore. It's an honest and entertaining look at why technology sometimes feels like an adventure that brings you back to where you started.

What better way to test Copilot Agents in SharePoint than by tackling a genuine, everyday business challenge? The real value of Copilot Agents (or any custom Copilot) lies in addressing specific problems, not just adding AI and hoping it sticks. When our marketing team began piloting Copilot Agents in SharePoint last year, we asked ourselves a simple question: “What's a question we’re always getting?” The answer was clear: “Do we have a case study for…?” Case studies are critical tools for storytelling, pitching ideas, and prepping for meetings, yet it can be tricky keeping track of what’s available. This made our SharePoint case study library the perfect testing ground for Copilot Agents. Instead of manually searching, anyone across the organisation can now simply ask the Agent things like: 💬 “What case studies do we have for retail clients?” 💬“Show me projects with high ROI.” You might wonder, "Why not just ask this in Copilot Chat?" It can inadvertently pull in drafts or incomplete snippets from PowerPoints. With Copilot Agents in SharePoint, we ensure results come from a trusted, curated, and current (and marketing approved 😉) source every time. How are you thinking about using Copilot Agents in your organisation? #SharePointAgents #Copilot #EngageSquared #Microsoft

You’ve hyped up your return to the office… but where is everyone? 😅 We’ve all been there right? Made the effort to go in, only to find an empty floor, no meeting space, or that the people you actually needed to see are working from home. Hybrid work is great in theory, but without a plan, office days can feel like a guessing game. As more organisations find a balance between remote and in-office work, the real challenge isn’t just flexibility, it’s making those in-office days worth it. That means better coordination, smarter scheduling, and knowing that when you do head in, it’s for a reason. ➡️ Read our latest blog on how to set up your office space for success in 2025 with Microsoft Places: https://lnkd.in/gutaRQBZ #Microsoft #HybridWork #EngageSquared

We partnered with a leading healthcare organisation to modernise their Pathology Requests portal, replacing an outdated system with a smarter, more user-friendly solution. Using Power Apps and Power BI, we built a centralised hub that streamlines workflows, processes hundreds of cases daily, and delivers real-time insights to help the team stay on top of their workloads. By focusing on collaboration and leveraging the latest tools, we made it easier for clinical staff to focus on what really matters—delivering exceptional patient care.
