Customer Success Stories
Training & Adoption – Healthcare Group
We purchased Copilot thinking it would instantly transform productivity, but the reality was our staff didn’t know where to start. The Software Dudes came in with their Copilot Academy, tailored training sessions to each department, and even provided prompt-writing playbooks. Within 30 days, our adoption rate went from under 20% to over 85%, and now Copilot is a natural part of our clinicians’ and administrative staff’s daily workflow.
Workflow Automation – Manufacturing Firm
Our sales process had too many manual steps — quoting, approvals, updating the CRM. The Software Dudes built Copilot Studio workflows and extensions that automated all of it. Now, when a rep requests a quote, the process kicks off automatically, sends the approval to the right manager, and updates Dynamics 365 in real time. What used to take 2–3 days now happens in under an hour. The team’s adoption of Copilot jumped above 90%, and our quote-to-close time has improved dramatically.
Cost Optimization – Professional Services
Like many companies, we were over-licensed and under-utilized. We had hundreds of Copilot and M365 seats assigned to inactive users or roles that didn’t need them. The Software Dudes performed a detailed license optimization, identified over $12,000 per year in waste, and provided a plan to reallocate seats where they’d drive the most impact. We reinvested those savings into team training and automation workflows, which have more than paid for themselves.
