- Barclays has reportedly agreed to buy over 100 000 Copilot licenses
- Microsoft has signed several similar agreements with other companies such as Siemens
- The company is ready to invest $ 80 billion in AI this year alone
Microsoft recently announced at a town hall meeting that it has signed an agreement with Barclays Bank, where it will provide 100,000 Copilot AI assistance licenses.
Microsoft’s Chief Commercial Officer Judson Althoff recently revealed to the company’s City Hall participants, “More dozen” customers have over 100,000 Copilot users, including Volkswagen, Siemens and Toyota, each of which could get tens of thousands of millions a year to Microsoft.
The official price of a single license is $ 30 per Month, but big deals like the rumored Barclays deal probably comes with a discount.
Spend billions, make millions
Microsoft has invested a lot in AI and is expected to spend $ 80 billion on the technology in 2025, and the tens of thousands of millions made in these offers are unlikely that they will make a buck in the company’s expenses.
The company refused to comment on the Barclays agreement when Techradar Pro reached out.
The two companies have a history of working with Registered Note that they agreed on a multi-year agreement for Microsoft Teams use back in August 2022.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has emphasized a focus on user engagement in relation to pure sales statistics, and despite remaining profitable, Microsoft has announced large redundancies, with between 6,000 and 7,000 jobs around the world is expected to be cut – equivalent to almost 3% of the company’s workstore – only two years after 10,000 staff became redundant (5% of the working power).
“We continue to implement organizational changes needed to best place the company for success in a dynamic marketplace,” a company’s spokesman confirmed.
“This was not about people failing. It was about repositioning for what is coming next,” Nadella said at the time that continued to emphasize that where copilot is concerned, “Adoption is key” – and argued that organizations must fully integrate assistant technology into their daily work to unlock its full potential.
