Enterprise Knowledge Search

Cathay is a premier travel brand offering flights, holidays, shopping, dining, and wellness. As Hong Kong’s flagship carrier, Cathay Pacific operates a diverse fleet from Hong Kong International Airport, connecting Hong Kong to the world.

By automating routine tasks, Microsoft 365 Copilot empowers Cathay’s employees to work smarter and free up their time for more strategic, value-adding activities.
Microsoft 365 Copilot can analyse data within documents and offer insights that can inform strategic decisions and improve business outcomes. As a result, Cathay’s employees are able to integrate Copilot to streamline meetings and manage information more effectively, reducing time-consuming tasks and fostering creativity in the process. This introduces an innovative approach to work and reshapes Cathay employees’ relationship with technology.
Microsoft 365 Copilot can generate drafts and summaries that boost efficiency across Cathay’s teams and empower employees to focus on higher-level tasks that demand analysis, strategic planning, and creative thinking. That said, humans will continue to play a critical role, ensuring the accuracy of Copilot’s outputs to maintain quality control, and align generated content with organisational standards and objectives. While AI excels in specific tasks, it cannot replicate the nuanced understanding, empathy, and connection that humans bring to interactions. “It’s like having an AI assistant to help you with your analytical planning and even creative tasks. The tool is called Copilot because humans are still in the driving seat. We’re still the ones in charge,” said Fong.
