S&P Global Expands Collaboration with Microsoft to Integrate AI Data into Microsoft 365 Copilot

Subscribe to our newsletter

S&P Global has announced an expanded collaboration with Microsoft to integrate its AI-ready data, analytics, and insights directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot workflows and agentic tools. Powered by the S&P Global AI Data Portal’s Deterministic Retrieval solution – also known as the Kensho LLM-ready API – the system enables users to access verifiable and cited content within their standard Microsoft productivity applications.

Building upon an existing integration of S&P Global Energy data, this expanded capability includes a Copilot in Excel connector for financial modelling and reporting, alongside a plugin for agentic experiences in Copilot Cowork. Users can perform company research, financial analysis, peer benchmarking, competitive analysis, and transcript intelligence without leaving Microsoft 365, streamlining multi-step analytical processes and reducing manual data preparation while maintaining source attribution.

The update follows the recent evolution of S&P Global’s Market Intelligence operating model and the creation of its Kensho Data Platforms vertical. These structural changes combine data, AI, and software capabilities to deliver AI-native user interfaces that make proprietary intelligence easier to connect, access, and act upon.
