Enabling agentic workflows across every layer of a financial institution's operations

· Transforming how LSEG customers connect with financial data in Microsoft solutions.

· Enabling agents built in Microsoft Copilot Studio and deployed in Microsoft 365 Copilot with LSEG licensed data.

· Advancing secure, seamless use of LSEG licensed financial data in Microsoft solutions using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) open-source standard.

LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / October 13, 2025 / LSEG and Microsoft today announced the next step in their multi-year, strategic partnership: transforming access to LSEG licensed financial data and powering the deployment of agentic AI with data that is secure and accessible through an LSEG managed MCP server. Through this collaboration, agents built in Microsoft Copilot Studio and deployed in Microsoft 365 Copilot can be enabled with LSEG data.

By connecting LSEG's trusted content with advanced AI capabilities, financial services professionals can benefit from intelligent tools that enhance decision-making and productivity and lower barriers to innovation - empowering organisations to use AI responsibly and securely.

Today's announcement builds on LSEG's AI strategy - LSEG Everywhere - which is delivering trusted licensed data to scale AI in financial services. The unparalleled depth, breadth, and quality of LSEG's AI Ready Content and taxonomies include datasets stretching back over decades and total more than 33 petabytes. Generating insights from these datasets enables Microsoft 365 Copilot users to make confident decisions faster.

Powering the build, deployment and integration of custom AI agents directly into workflows

Using a new MCP server, LSEG customers will be able to connect with data, licensed through LSEG products like Workspace and Financial Analytics, to build AI agents in Copilot Studio. Copilot Studio provides a secure, low-code platform for users to create, customise and deploy advanced AI agents that can be integrated directly into workflows through Microsoft 365 Copilot and other applications. Copilot Studio enables makers to build sophisticated agents with ease, using frontier AI models in a fully managed SaaS experience that supports a wide range of enterprise connectors. Copilot Studio empowers organisations with robust governance controls and is natively integrated into Microsoft 365 Copilot, enabling secure and compliant customisation at scale.
