bp hopes to enhance its global employee experience through expanding its use of generative AI, implementing Copilot for Microsoft 365.
Copilot for Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based service that integrates with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. The service uses artificial intelligence and natural language processing to automate a variety of daily tasks such as writing emails and managing inboxes.
By using the capabilities of Copilot for Microsoft 365, bp says it can help employees to boost productivity, upskill, enhance business performance and support innovation. bp may also offer insights that may help shape the future functionality of the product.
bp EVP of Innovation & Engineering Leigh-Ann Russell says the collaboration with Microsoft is a “significant next step” in bp’s digital transformation.
“Leveraging the latest developments in AI-powered workplace solutions offers the opportunity for bp to transform how work gets done. Our ambition is to empower our people to spend more time on innovation and the problem-solving that will help make the energy transition a success,” she says.
“bp has been using AI safely and responsibly in our operations for a number of years. Extending our work with a trusted partner such as Microsoft means that bp is one of the companies at the forefront of the global deployment of this tool.”
Microsoft UK CEO Clare Barclay says Copilot for Microsoft 365 will help thousands of employees unlock creativity and give them the ability to focus on what “really matters”: problem-solving, innovation and accelerating the energy transition.
“We’re supporting bp as it puts this transformational technology in the hands of its people,” she says.
