WorkingCompany's own claimOfficial ↗

Problem

Merck needed to provide employees with secure access to generative AI across its businesses. Commercial enterprise subscriptions provided a cost benchmark for serving that workforce.

Approach

Merck provided myGPT for employee use and paired access with tailored training. Its October 2025 investor presentation reported more than 30,000 monthly active users. The company compared costs with the unnegotiated list prices of Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT Enterprise.

Results

>90%cost savings against Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT Enterprise unnegotiated list prices, reported by MerckCompany's own claim[1]

Takeaway

The savings comparison used commercial list prices. It did not establish savings against negotiated contracts or measure employee time saved.
