Today’s marketing leaders are under pressure to do more than ever—deliver meaningful personalization, accelerate execution, and prove measurable business impact. At the same time, teams are navigating increasing complexity: fragmented data, disconnected tools, and insights that arrive too late to act on. AI can change this—but only when it’s embedded directly into how people already work. That’s why Microsoft and Adobe are deepening our partnership: bringing customer experience intelligence, AI-powered workflows, and enterprise-grade AI directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot—so teams can move from insight to alignment to execution in one continuous workflow. The result is faster decisions, more coordinated execution, and clearer business outcomes—without breaking flow or context. Bringing customer experience intelligence into the flow of work Marketing teams don’t struggle because they lack data. They struggle because insights live in one place, collaboration in another, and execution somewhere else entirely. That disconnect slows teams down and creates unnecessary friction between analysis and action. Together, Adobe and Microsoft are changing that dynamic by connecting Adobe’s customer experience capabilities with Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Cowork—so insight, collaboration, and next-best action can happen where work already happens: in Copilot Chat and in everyday apps like Teams, Word, and PowerPoint. Marketers can ask questions, explore insights, align with teammates, and take action without jumping between tools—turning intelligence into impact at the moment it matters. Adobe Marketing Agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot: now generally available A major milestone in this journey is the general availability of the Adobe Marketing Agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot, now available via Microsoft Commercial Marketplace. The Adobe Marketing Agent brings Adobe customer experience intelligence directly into Copilot, enabling marketing teams to: Accelerate time from insight to decision Move seamlessly from analysis to execution Keep humans firmly in control, with AI supporting—not replacing—decision‑making Importantly, the agent is enterprise-ready by design. IT administrators can deploy and manage the experience through the Microsoft 365 admin center, ensuring security, governance, and compliance at scale. Expanding executive experiences with Copilot Cowork Looking ahead, Adobe skills designed for customer experience orchestration will be accessible in Copilot Cowork—in a future release. This upcoming experience will enable customer experience leaders to engage with customer experience insights in a more direct, conversational way, bringing strategic visibility into the same Copilot environments where decisions are made and actions are coordinated. Built on Azure to scale securely and responsibly The technology foundation of this innovation is Azure. Adobe Experience Platform, Adobe Experience Platform Agent Orchestrator, and Adobe AI Agents are built on Azure and leverage Azure AI models, providing the scalability, security, and reliability enterprises require. By running on Azure, these agentic experiences benefit from Microsoft’s global infrastructure, enterprise‑grade security, and responsible AI commitments—supporting customer trust as organizations scale AI across their business. Designed for interoperability across agent ecosystems Modern enterprises don’t operate in a single ecosystem—and their agents shouldn’t either. Adobe agents are built to interoperate with agents created using Microsoft Azure AI Foundry or Copilot Studio, enabling customers to orchestrate richer, cross‑functional workflows across marketing, sales, service, and operations. This architecture is designed to enable organizations to compose agentic solutions that reflect how work actually happens—across systems, teams, and business processes. Moving from experimentation to execution This partnership reflects a broader shift in how organizations adopt AI—moving from experimentation to embedded, enterprise‑ready execution. By bringing the full power of Adobe Experience Platform together with Microsoft’s AI platform, cloud infrastructure, and Copilot experiences, we’re helping teams move faster with clarity, confidence, and control. This is how AI becomes not just powerful—but practical.

Customers are moving quickly to Frontier Transformation, where AI and agents are embedded as a repeatable, governed operating capability. As Nicole Dezen outlines in her recent post, Accelerating Frontier Transformation with Microsoft partners, Frontier Transformation is the moment when AI becomes a repeatable, governed capability embedded into the flow of work, business processes, and customer engagement. Customers are moving from targeted pilots to operating AI at scale, grounded in identity, data protection, compliance, monitoring, and change management. This shift changes what customers look for in a partner. Customers increasingly want teams that can translate ideas into deployable solutions, then scale adoption and measurement so that AI runs reliably in production. That is why skilling matters. Skilling is how you build technical readiness and delivery confidence across sales, presales, engineering, and delivery roles. It is how you turn emerging demand into repeatable execution. It is also how you validate capability as the bar rises for governed, secure AI at scale. This post shares the latest Frontier skilling opportunities across Microsoft Partner Skilling, designed to take partners from learning to customer impact faster. For deeper context on the Frontier engineering approach, read our recent post, Engineering the Frontier partner practice. Frontier skilling starts here Partners have told us they want skilling tied to real delivery motion, not just content. These Frontier-focused updates are designed to deliver role-based learning that builds practical readiness, plus clear ways to validate skills and align your team around how Frontier Transformation is delivered at scale. New Partner Skilling discussion board A dedicated Partner Skilling discussion board is now available for partners to discover skilling resources, connect with subject matter experts, and get questions answered across solution areas.

Something fundamental is shifting in how partners create value, and it is moving faster than many expected. That shift is creating new opportunities for those ready to lead. Across recent partner events and one-on-one conversations, we have heard a consistent message: customers are actively adopting AI and shifting toward becoming Frontier firms. They are moving AI from isolated experimentation to a core capability that drives execution, differentiation, and growth. Now customers are asking a more consequential question: how do we rewire our businesses to operate as a Frontier firm? That question can reshape how you deliver value. In this blog, we share how Microsoft is investing in the platform and programs that enable the partner-led path to becoming Frontier, so you can turn AI ambition into durable transformation. The Frontier shift partners are witnessing now Frameworks set the direction, but markets move when partners lead. In conversations with partners around the world, one point is clear: AI has moved from exploration to execution. Customers are no longer asking whether to adopt AI. They are asking how fast they can put it to work safely, at scale, and with measurable outcomes. Take TD SYNNEX, for example. TD SYNNEX is turning “AI-ready” into a repeatable channel motion by connecting devices, cloud, and security into its “Better Together” approach. Instead of letting customers buy pieces of the stack in silos, the motion guides partners to modernize endpoints, secure the foundation, and then adopt Microsoft AI with confidence, at the scale distributors can bring. Across these conversations, a clear pattern is emerging: partners are thinking beyond any single workload or product to drive end-to-end business transformation built on Azure. This is the Frontier narrative coming to life in the market. Continue reading here72Views0likes0CommentsMake this your year for Frontier Transformation: Earn your badge and join us at the summit

Customers are clear about what they want from AI now. They want to move from ideas to outcomes faster, and at enterprise scale. The experimentation phase is giving way to production expectations, and time to market is becoming a competitive advantage in how organizations transform. That shift creates opportunity for AI practice leaders in services partner organizations. Partners who can repeatedly take agentic solutions from concept to production, while addressing governance and security considerations, can earn a bigger role in customers’ most critical transformation work. Earlier this spring, Nicole Dezen shared the direction for our partner ecosystem, including our framework for Frontier Transformation and updates to the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program, such as the Frontier Partner specialization. This blog is the follow-up, with clear guidance on how to build the partner business behind Frontier Transformation and how to position your practice to win on time to market. Move confidently from pilots to production AI has moved from experimentation to real-world impact. Customers are transforming business processes, products, and employee experiences with AI, and they expect solutions that operate reliably in the real world. That means production-grade delivery, governance, and the ability to scale. continue reading here66Views0likes0CommentsEVENT | Drive Frontier Transformation: Attend the engineer summit and work toward your badge
