Moody’s Corporation has announced an expansion of its partnership with Microsoft, which will see the financial services company integrate its credit intelligence into Microsoft’s artificial intelligence tools, including Microsoft 365 Copilot.
The development moves the collaboration from joint product development to broader deployment within enterprise workflows, enabling access to Moody’s data and analytics within commonly used productivity applications.
“For over 115 years, Moody’s has served as the intelligence layer that financial professionals turn to when making consequential decisions,” said Rob Fauber, president and CEO of Moody’s. “By embedding that intelligence directly into Microsoft’s AI solutions at enterprise scale, we’re making decision-grade analysis available not just to specialists, but to every person across an organisation who needs it.”
The integration operates through two main channels. Using the Model Context Protocol, Moody’s workflows and data are delivered via a dedicated agent within Microsoft 365 Copilot, allowing organisations to access the service without requiring custom integrations. In addition, Moody’s data is available as a source within Copilot features, including Copilot Chat, the Researcher agent and Microsoft Excel.
Moody’s data platform includes information on 600 million entities and 2 billion ownership links, covering a range of risk-related datasets. By embedding this data within AI tools, the company is aiming to support more consistent and traceable outputs within enterprise environments.
“Our ongoing partnership with Moody’s reflects a shared commitment to bring trusted financial intelligence directly into the tools professionals use every day,” said Bill Borden, corporate vice president of worldwide financial services at Microsoft. “By integrating Moody’s decision-grade insights into Microsoft 365 Copilot, we're making it easier for financial services professionals across the industry to access authoritative data and context in the flow of work - so they can move faster and act with confidence.”
