Let’s look at how Copilot is driving real impact in Energy and Oil & Gas, Life Sciences and Medical Devices, and Restaurants through real-world use cases and case studies with solutions we have implemented already for our clients.
Energy and Oil & Gas
Optimize Workforce and Equipment Utilization
In oilfield operations, Copilot helps leaders make faster and more accurate scheduling and planning decisions. By integrating with platforms such as Azure, Power Platform, and Fabric, it provides real-time insights that improve workforce efficiency and reduce equipment downtime. This approach can increase ROI by as much as 35%, cut idle time by 25%, and speed up decision-making by 50%.
Generative AI for CAPEX Management
Capital project management is another area where Copilot creates value. By connecting to ERP systems like SAP, WellView, Primavera, and Ariba, Copilot simplifies compliance checks and forecasting. This leads to faster approvals, reduced variance in capital plans, and significant savings by preventing penalties or overruns. Some organizations have seen up to an 80% reduction in approval time and millions saved through improved accuracy.
Life Sciences and Medical Devices
AI-Enabled Process Automation
For healthcare and medical device organizations, Copilot supports automation in critical processes such as member onboarding, prior authorizations, claims, and audits. Built on Azure and Power Platform with Fabric, the solution reduces the need for temporary staffing, cuts turnaround time for approvals, and lowers operating costs. Results have included a 75% decrease in temporary staffing demand and up to 30% savings in operating costs.
Restaurants
Generative AI for Customer Insights
Restaurant groups face the challenge of understanding guest experiences at scale. With Copilot and Azure, organizations can analyze millions of reviews in seconds.
