要約

主要な所見
  • 国内企業で急速に高まりつつある生成AIへの期待と、Microsoftの強力な販売活動を背景に、ソーシング/調達/ベンダー管理 (SPVM) のリーダーは、Copilot for Microsoft 365 (Copilot for M365) がもたらす契約上のリスクと機会を迅速に評価する必要に迫られている。

  • 適切な機能とユースケースの評価を行わずにCopilot for M365導入を決定すると、他製品との機能重複、日本語に未対応などユースケースごとの実用性の差などにより、期待した投資対効果が実現できないリスクがある。

  • Copilot for M365の利用条件の詳細は、契約書に明記されていないことがある。このため条件の確認を怠ると、契約上の不備やデータ保護上のリスクなどが後になって顕在化し、最悪の場合には利用継続できなくなる可能性がある。

  • 1ユーザー当たり30ドルというCopilot for M365の価格は、場合によってはMicrosoft/Office365 (M/O365) 関連のコストをほぼ倍増させる。また、実装時やサポートに必要な間接費などの「隠れコスト」が追加で発生するリスクがある。

推奨事項

SPVMリーダーはCopilot for M365の機会やリスクを適切に評価しつつ、有効な交渉を実現するために以下の3ステップに従う。

  • ステップ1:契約交渉への準備として、まずCopilot for M365への投資対効果評価する。ビジネスおよびIT部門のステークホルダーと協力し概念実証 (POC) を行い、有効なユースケースと従業員の部署・職種を把握する。加えて生成AI機能を提供している代替案とも比較する

  • ステップ2:セキュリティ部門や法務部門と協働し、Copilot for M365を利用する上での契約上のリスクを洗い出す。例えば適用する契約書、データ保護、著作権保護などの観点で不透明な条件を明らかにして、必要に応じMicrosoftやリセラーに確認する。

  • ステップ3:目先の割引率のみにとらわれず、価格保護、顧客有利なライセンス・ルール変更時の柔軟性、間接費の洗い出し、といったコスト要素も考慮しながら交渉する。
