LSEG deepens Microsoft partnership with AI data integration
(Sharecast News) - London Stock Exchange Group announced a new phase of its strategic partnership with Microsoft on Monday, in a bid to transform how financial institutions access and use LSEG's licensed data through Microsoft's AI platforms. The collaboration would allow LSEG customers to deploy "agentic" AI tools built in Microsoft Copilot Studio and powered by LSEG data, integrating advanced analytics directly into workflows.
LSEG said the initiative would build on its "AI Everywhere" strategy.
Through a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, the group said it would enable secure and seamless connections between its datasets and Microsoft's AI environment.
The data would initially be accessible via LSEG Financial Analytics in a phased rollout.
LSEG said the system would let customers create custom AI agents within Microsoft 365 Copilot using financial data licensed through products such as Workspace and Financial Analytics.
The agents would be able to analyse and interpret decades of LSEG datasets - amounting to more than 33 petabytes - to enhance decision-making, streamline processes and improve productivity.
"LSEG's partnership with Microsoft is transforming access to data for financial professionals with cutting-edge, AI-driven innovation at scale," said LSEG chief executive David Schwimmer.
"LSEG customers can build, deploy and scale agentic AI directly into their workflows with secure, seamless connectivity through MCP."
Microsoft said the collaboration represented a step forward in embedding trusted market data into its AI ecosystem.
"Our continued partnership with LSEG underscores a shared commitment to redefining the future of financial services through secure, AI-driven innovation," said Nick Parker, Microsoft's chief business officer and president of worldwide sales and solutions.
"By combining LSEG's trusted market data with Microsoft's cloud and AI capabilities, we're empowering customers to unlock deeper insights, accelerate decision-making and streamline complex workflows."
The partnership between LSEG and Microsoft was first announced in 2022.
At 0852 BST, shares in London Stock Exchange Group were up 1.89% at 8.948.7p.
