Name: Small business vs enterprise: same problem, different scale, same Microsoft 365
Start: 2026-12-04T00:00:00.000Z
Location: Northeastern University - Vancouver

**Small business vs enterprise: same problem, different scale, same Microsoft 365**
Everyone is talking about AI agents. But does every business need the same one?
Join the Van365View community for a new kind of evening. Two Microsoft 365 experts will take on the same business problem, turning customer reviews into growth, and solve it in two different ways. Eric builds for small businesses. Sarang builds for large enterprises. Luis Juarez moderates, and every round includes a live demo.
Which tools will they use? We don’t know yet, and neither do they. Each contender picks their own approach for their kind of business. It could be Copilot agents, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Azure AI Foundry, or a mix of all of them. Agents might be at the center of one solution and play a supporting role in the other. You’ll see what each of them chooses, and hear why, as the rounds go on.
**What you will learn**

* How the size and stage of a business change the right agent strategy, even on the same platform
* Where AI agents add real value, and where a simpler approach works better
* How to plan, build, deploy, operate and evolve an agent solution in Microsoft 365
* How to govern and secure agents so they keep working as the business grows
* Why business strategy matters as much as the technology

**Who should attend**
Small business owners, IT leaders, Microsoft 365 administrators, business decision makers, consultants and Microsoft partners in the Vancouver area.
