Stop Buying Copilot Before You Fix Your Permissions💡

Everyone wants AI. Here's the reality - Microsoft Copilot doesn't create security problems. It exposes them.

Before rolling out Copilot, ask yourself:

❌ Who can see HR files?

❌ When was the last time SharePoint permissions were reviewed?

❌ Are sensitive documents available to more people than they should be?

Copilot only surfaces what users already have access to.

Thinking about Microsoft Copilot? Make sure your Microsoft 365 environment is ready first.

👉 Contact IowaComputerGurus Inc. for a readiness assessment and discover what your AI can already see.

On June 1st, GitHub Copilot got a lot more interesting.

GitHub's new credit-based usage model is now live, shifting AI-assisted development from a flat-cost tool to a metered resource. For development teams, this isn't just a billing change.

It's a reminder that AI usage now has a measurable cost...and should have a measurable return.

Are your developers using AI to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and reduce repetitive work? Or are credits being consumed without clear business value?

As organizations continue investing in AI, governance, budgeting, and usage monitoring will become just as important as adoption.

Our CEO, Mitchel Sellers, recently shared a practical breakdown of what changed, what it means for development teams, and the steps organizations should be taking now.

Has your organization reviewed its Copilot usage and AI spending strategy yet?

GitHub Copilot Credit Based Usage Is Live - Now What? Well, the day has come, the pricing world has been flipped on its head. What does this mean for us? What does this mean for AI usage as a whole, and what should we do? I'll dive into all of this myself in this post, based on initial reactions in the first few hours of the billing change.

When Does Staff Augmentation Make Sense?

✔ You need senior .NET, Azure, DNN, CMS, or application development expertise without adding full-time headcount.
✔ Your team has a roadmap but needs architecture guidance, code reviews, or additional bandwidth to accelerate delivery.
✔ You want experienced developers who can integrate seamlessly into your processes and strengthen them along the way.
✔ You need short-term or ongoing support for a business-critical application.
✔ Your team could benefit from mentoring while navigating modernization, cloud migration, performance optimization, or AI initiatives.

Your employees are already using AI. Do you know how?

ChatGPT. Microsoft Copilot. Gemini. Claude. Your team is using these tools right now - with or without a company policy.

That's not a bad thing. But without a strategy, it creates real risks:
🔒 Data security exposure
📋 Compliance gaps
©️ Intellectual property concerns

Excited to share that our own, Mitchel Sellers, Founder & CEO of IowaComputerGurus Inc., will be speaking at Nebraska.Code, one of the Midwest's premier software development conferences, taking place July 22-24 in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Mitchel's session, "Mental Health, Quality, and a Developer's Work/Life Balance," tackles a topic that doesn't get enough attention in our industry.

Technology moves fast. Expectations move faster. Developers, architects, consultants, managers, mentors, parents, and leaders are often balancing multiple roles while being asked to deliver more with fewer resources.

Drawing on nearly two decades as an independent consultant and his experience leading IowaComputerGurus, Mitchel will share practical lessons learned from both successes and setbacks. The session explores how mental health and work/life balance directly impact code quality, team morale, productivity, and long-term career success.

As a 17-time Microsoft MVP, international speaker, author, and technology leader, Mitchel has delivered more than 400 sessions worldwide. His focus remains the same: helping organizations and technology professionals build better software, stronger teams, and sustainable success.
