Out of curiosity, have you compared the relative effectiveness of ChatGPT and Claude vs Copilot? Given your existing enterprise contract, does copilot have a monopoly on your AI usage due to its superior compliance?
In the handful of contexts Ive seen across departments and states, no, ive not seen such a comparison. Ive seen state custom implementations of GPT (eg 4o), and Copilot, but not Claude. Claude is likely out there for the same reason Google is - navigating those same localisation / legal issues is complex for government departments.
Copilot has a far easier path to monopoly because it can be pushed down existing Microsoft contracts, MS has put in the work for international jurisdictions in terms of data compliance in existing products and thus can extend upon that with Copilot, and they have a foothold in a good many places. One thing that is interesting with Copilot is that if you set it to Work mode, it can treat your organisational SharePoint sites and OneDrive locations as sources, but do so in a manner that respects what you as a user has access to.
