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.

Vodafone applies Microsoft's AI-powered blueprint for autonomous network operations

Vodafone is working with Microsoft to apply a proven AI-powered blueprint for autonomous network operations across transport infrastructure and field-force management, combining Vodafone's network expertise with Microsoft Foundry and the Network Operations Agent (NOA) framework. The blueprint is built on Microsoft's own experience running autonomous agents across its global Azure transport network, where AI continuously monitors performance, identifies root causes, and autonomously manages more than 65% of fibre-break field dispatches, improving time to repair by up to 25% and accelerating root-cause analysis by 80%.
