A year ago in July, Microsoft coined the term AI Transformation. It is almost hard to imagine at that time Copilots were not generally available and Azure OpenAI Service had only been available for six months. As Satya Nadella, our Chairman and CEO, stated in last quarter’s earnings: 60% of the Fortune 500 have adopted Copilots and 65% use Azure OpenAI Service. Today, Copilots define how AI is empowering human achievement.
Together with our customers and partners, we have established how AI Transformation enriches employee experiences, reinvents customer engagement, reshapes business processes and bends the curve on pragmatic innovation. Our approach to put a Copilot on every desk for every role, identify AI design patterns and build a strong cybersecurity foundation is helping organizations harness AI responsibly, securely and with purpose.
As I looked back on the year, I enjoyed reviewing hundreds of customer and partner examples from around the world that demonstrated how AI Transformation delivered tangible business outcomes and value for their organizations. I am pleased to highlight 20 of those stories that I found to be the most inspirational and illustrative of what we can achieve together.

Doctors now spend 15 minutes instead of an hour writing medical reports, and nurses can document patient information in under 5 minutes per patient instead of 10 to 20 minutes. Pharmacists are now able to double the number of patients they see per day — from 15 to 30 — by leveraging a copilot for comprehensive clinical summaries across multiple databases. By bending the curve on innovation and deploying these copilots, staff have more time to focus on patient care and outcomes, while reducing burnout and stress.
