Eczacıbaşı Holding Scales 27 AI Agents Across Affiliates with Microsoft Copilot Studio

Turkish industrial group Eczacıbaşı Holding launched 'Mission AI' to unify fragmented AI efforts across its affiliates, using Microsoft Copilot Studio and Microsoft Foundry. From 358 submitted ideas, 58 were developed with support from partner Mindworks, yielding 27 finalized agents including Sentra, which cut supplier-risk decision cycles from up to two weeks to under three days, and Maden360, which cut mining analytical processing time by over 90%. The 27 agents are projected to generate approximately €3.8 million in annual value and free nearly 5,000 hours of operational capacity per year.

Sight Machine's AI scheduling agent cuts a beverage manufacturer's non-value-added production time 75%

Sight Machine integrated OptiMind, a small language model from Microsoft Research, through Microsoft Foundry to build an AI-driven scheduling agent for a major beverage manufacturer that had been replanning production schedules 10-15 times per week through manual meetings. OptiMind converts scheduling problems described in natural language, combined with real-time plant data on line speeds, changeover times, and ramp-up durations, into Mixed-Integer Programming optimization models, automatically regenerating an optimized schedule when floor conditions change. The system cut non-value-added production time by 75%, improved overall plant productivity by more than 10%, reduced changeover-related downtime by nearly 80%, cut ramp-up delays by nearly 60%, and reduced clean-in-place sanitation downtime by almost 90%, eliminating hours of manual planning work each week without adding production infrastructure.

DTI Group's agentic AI platform COGNAiO cuts loan document processing time 80%

DTI Group, a Switzerland-based document automation company, built COGNAiO, an agentic AI platform on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Foundry (including Azure Document Intelligence, Azure Kubernetes Service, and Azure Database for PostgreSQL) that interprets, validates, and acts on information in documents, emails, images, and data feeds by meaning and context rather than templates. Users describe processes in natural language to deploy agents without code. One retail bank customer processing over 50,000 loan agreements annually reduced processing time per case by 80% using COGNAiO. In a high-volume banking deployment, the platform processed pages in an average of 2.5 seconds against a required service-level threshold of 6 to 9 seconds, with document understanding and validation accuracy approaching 99%.

Deutscher Maklerverbund's multi-agent AI platform triggers system actions in 70% of broker conversations

DEMV Deutscher Maklerverbund, a German insurance broker network serving more than 7,000 offices and 16,000 users, built Professional Works X (PWX), a multi-agent AI platform using Azure OpenAI Service, Microsoft Foundry, and Azure API Management. Each PWX agent manages a specific task area -- drafting communications, handling policy and claims operations -- allowing brokers to interact via chat or voice and submit claims, manage policies, and capture customer information directly through AI-powered processes, such as creating a claim from an uploaded photo of a police accident report. After a roadshow launch, weekly active PWX users grew about 65%, from around 850 to 1,400, with the platform handling 700-800 chats daily (peaking around 1,000) and about 70% of conversations triggering at least one system action such as retrieving data or preparing documentation.

Gallagher: AI as a Force Multiplier for Trusted Advisors

Gallagher, one of the world's largest insurance brokers and risk management firms, built its own Gallagher AI platform on Microsoft Foundry to streamline claims summarization, policy and risk management analysis, fraud detection, document interrogation, and workflow automation across a highly regulated business. Microsoft Foundry provides secure model execution with flexible model selection and built-in compliance frameworks, Microsoft 365 Copilot is deployed enterprise-wide for daily productivity, and Copilot Studio powers specialized AI agents such as one automating the multi-line quote letter (MQL) process that extracts quotes from carrier partners and populates client letters. Data governance is enforced through a ring-fenced model using Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention. Gallagher reports claims summarization that used to take an hour or two now takes minutes, and more than 70,000 employees now have access to secure AI tools embedded in daily workflows.

UNIQA SEE cuts health insurance claims processing times by 90% with Azure AI

UNIQA SEE's claims handlers faced fragmented documents, manual tasks, and heavy call-center reliance that slowed claims processing. Using Microsoft Azure AI alongside Microsoft Foundry, Azure Document Intelligence, and Azure OpenAI, UNIQA SEE built an end-to-end AI-driven medical referral solution that extracts, validates, and integrates referral letter data via APIs into the core claims system. The solution reduced claims processing time from 15-30 minutes to 2-3 minutes (an 85-90% reduction), lowered costs and call volumes, and freed staff for higher-value work. UNIQA SEE also introduced a self-service web and mobile app allowing customers to submit medical referral letters digitally. UNIQA SEE became the first insurer in Southeastern Europe to implement an AI-powered business process solution of this kind.
