Aguaro + Copilot

This integration provides the necessary visibility to govern the rapid adoption of Generative AI within the Microsoft ecosystem. By connecting to Microsoft’s usage and billing data, Aguaro captures the precise information required to move from an unmonitored AI rollout to a controlled, sustainable, and cost-efficient strategy:

The Triple-Lens AI Dashboard: Aguaro consolidates three critical dimensions of AI consumption into a single, unified view:

• Footprint: Tracking of emissions associated with Copilot licenses and actual usage, based on the energy intensity of the Microsoft Azure AI infrastructure.

• Costs: Direct visibility into license expenditure and any associated consumption costs, allowing for precise budget tracking and ROI analysis.

• Usage: Monitoring of adoption rates and feature usage to assess the actual utility and efficiency of the Copilot deployment across the organisation.

From Global Spend to Application Allocation: While providing a global view of AI consumption, Aguaro is evolving to allow this data to be allocated per application or business unit. This means the CIO can identify exactly which department or integrated process is driving the most cost and carbon, enabling precise internal chargebacks and prioritised optimisation.

Operational Governance in ServiceNow: All Copilot data is natively integrated into the Aguaro (ServiceNow) interface. This ensures that AI governance is not a separate exercise, but is embedded within the existing IT portfolio and risk management processes.

Evidence-Based Optimisation: By correlating cost, carbon, and usage, the CIO can make informed decisions on license allocation and usage policies to reduce the overall carbon footprint without sacrificing productivity.
