Solution
Michelin, a Automotive organization in France, modernized this document processing workload with Azure OpenAI Service, Azure, Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Copilot. "They represent a dual challenge in terms of skills and the continuous integration of new technologies, which Microsoft is helping us to meet throughout our value chain," says Yves Caseau, Chief Digital & Information Officer. Azure OpenAI Service runs the large language model workloads that power summarization, generation, or conversational reasoning in the solution. Azure provides the scalable cloud foundation hosting the customer’s modernized applications, data, and AI workloads. Microsoft 365 provides the productivity suite used as the operating surface for collaboration and content creation. Michelin connects approved internal data sources into Microsoft 365 services, grounds responses through Azure, and serves generated answers and drafts back to users through Azure OpenAI Service.
