Problem

Travel advisors searched fragmented systems to prepare customized itineraries. Manual navigation consumed time that could otherwise go to clients.

Approach

Global Travel Collection built Atlas using Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio. It retrieved travel information and SharePoint content with Azure AI Search, then generated grounded answers through Azure OpenAI. Advisors used a company-built interface.

Results

10 to 15 minutesestimated saving per query reported by advisor David Waldes in Microsoft's accountVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

The query-level saving was an individual advisor's estimate. The projected annual saving across the network was not a measured aggregate.
