# The platform approach to becoming Frontier

**[Microsoft](https://daily.dev/sources/microsoft)** · 15 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Microsoft's commercial business chief shares customer results from a year of pushing its 'Frontier Transformation' platform built on Copilot, Microsoft IQ and Agent 365. Volkswagen scaled Copilot to over 330,000 employees, while Fujitsu's agents now automate roughly 75% of initial responses and triage for a service desk that receives nearly 300,000 inquiries annually. One KOHLER organization improved code releases by 25% and reduced error defects by 75% using GitHub Copilot, and employees have created more than 3,000 agents. Docusign processes more than a million agreement documents daily with up to eightfold greater throughput and 90% lower AI processing costs, and Truist governs more than 13,000 AI agents through Agent 365.

## Questions this post answers

### What results has KOHLER seen from using GitHub Copilot for software development?

One organization within KOHLER improved code releases by 25% and reduced error defects by 75% using GitHub Copilot. The broader company also reached 98% Microsoft Copilot adoption, with employees saving an average of 2 to 5 hours per month and creating more than 3,000 internal agents, hundreds of which are active daily.

_Teams weighing AI coding assistants can compare real adoption outcomes like these on daily.dev._

### How is Docusign using Microsoft Foundry to process agreement documents?

Docusign shifted from general-purpose AI models to task-specific models built with Microsoft Foundry, enabling it to process more than a million agreement documents daily. This shift delivered up to eightfold greater throughput and 90% lower AI processing costs, while Foundry's model lifecycle supports fine-tuning before deployment and monitoring in production.

_Developers deciding between general-purpose and task-specific AI models can track cases like this on daily.dev._

### How many AI agents is Microsoft Agent 365 helping enterprises govern?

Insight Enterprises discovered 9,734 agents across its organization using Agent 365, gaining visibility into which are active and what data they access. Truist Financial Corporation separately uses Agent 365 to manage, govern and observe more than 13,000 AI declarative agents, with every agent assigned an accountable owner and automatic disabling after 45 days of inactivity.

_Engineers building AI agent governance into their stack can follow adoption patterns like these on daily.dev._
