Why Choose Steepmeadow Solutions

Value-Added Reseller

Steepmeadow works with many small- and medium-sized businesses to optimize their licensing with Microsoft. When you buy Microsoft products through Steepmeadow, not only do you receive the same price as you would buying directly from Microsoft, but you also receive a partner to help you navigate and understand the complexities and potential of Microsoft tools. Let's face it: many partners out there want to make the transaction and be done with it. You'll hear from these partners once per year, when it's time to renew for the following 12 months. Steepmeadow does things differently. As avid Microsoft users who work with many industries and types of users, from frontline retail and hospitality workers to executive personas and much more, we know which users need what tools when — and we know how to help you train and deploy those tools. We love working with our partners to create a robust adoption plan for every type of user.

In short, Steepmeadow helps you actually use the Microsoft tools you buy. We're available whenever you pick up the phone, helping to troubleshoot issues, answer licensing questions, and everything in between.

Microsoft Copilot Solutions

When Microsoft released Copilot to the general public in late 2023, everything in the present and future of Microsoft 365 changed in an instant. At Steepmeadow, we firmly believe that AI influence in software is not just a fad, wrinkle, or twist, but an absolute revolution. We predict that companies failing to adopt the potent new tools available to them, like Microsoft Copilot, run a serious risk of being left behind. The time savings, efficiency increases, and overall benefits of Microsoft AI are nearly limitless.

There's a catch, though: mastering Copilot takes knowledge and effort. That's where Steepmeadow comes to the rescue. We have been dedicated Copilot followers since the very earliest announcements started trickling in, and now that the product is finally out we are daily users. Rather than only speaking to the high-level benefits of Microsoft AI or keeping the conversation in IT-only terms, we demonstrate, with a hands-on approach, the ways your users can save time and increase productivity.

One of the many great things about Copilot is that it amplifies the existing value you have in Microsoft 365. There are countless features in PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and other M365 tools that go unused and overlooked, but Copilot knows how and when to use them. We are passionate about helping customers by offering advisory services, training, and project work to harness the power of Microsoft AI and Copilot to achieve their goals.

Microsoft 365 Adoption & Change Management

Investing in Microsoft 365 is a smart decision, but that's not the final step to unleashing the power of M365. We see a common issue with companies, big and small alike, who take that first step but fail to proceed further. What mistake are they making? Just because your company owns a product does not mean your users will take advantage of it. Bridging the gap between acquisition and usage is of paramount importance.

Steepmeadow has extensive experience leading effective adoption and change management across industries. We have worked with large governmental entities like counties, training users with little to no background in Microsoft tools, and we have also worked with smaller, more agile teams in hospitality, retail, logistics, technology, and more. Our team of experts can help oversee and implement the entire process of adoption and change management, from the overall plan and timeline to the virtual and/or in-person sessions used to help equip your users to become well-versed in the Microsoft tools you own.

We understand the frustration of owning Microsoft tools but failing to see your users solving problems with the software at their disposal, or only using a fraction of the potential benefits. Our adoption and change management process promises to be hands-on, thorough, and create a lasting impact.

Consulting Services

Microsoft moves a million miles per hour, always improving their products, making changes, adding new products, and altering their roadmap. Gone are the days when Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel were the only Microsoft 365 tools. Today, Microsoft has morphed into a software powerhouse, offering the traditional tools mentioned above in addition to many more: Teams, Viva, the Power Platform, SharePoint, OneDrive, Planner, Project, Lists, Loop, Forms, Sway, Visio, and others. With the addition of Copilot and other Microsoft AI tools like Teams Premium, the opportunities for value are practically endless.

Here, though, is the key question: How can a company using Microsoft products navigate this constant change to truly know they are using the correct tools and capitalizing on their investments? At Steepmeadow, we realize that even the most Microsoft-loving companies out there, who don't struggle with adoption or excitement, need injections of aid. That's why we offer consulting services tailored to fit your needs. Whether you have a team needing to implement a new tool, you want an assessment and recommendation within the Microsoft suite for an existing business problem, or want to learn more about how Microsoft AI could benefit your company, we can craft a consultancy to meet your needs.

AI/Copilot demonstrations: Everyone can talk about Copilot, but showing what the new tool from Microsoft is capable of is an entirely different story. Our company offers demonstrations of Microsoft AI and Copilot to help businesses understand the capabilities and potential impact of these technologies, providing examples and role-play scenarios to show how AI and Copilot can be used to solve business problems and drive success.

Business value realization and assessments: We offer business value realization and assessments to help businesses understand the impact of Microsoft 365 on their operations. Our team can conduct assessments to measure the success of the transformation and identify areas for improvement.
