On September 25, 2025, Witivio hosted an exclusive morning event in partnership with Microsoft at the Microsoft France headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux. Around 100 professionals gathered to discover the latest AI innovations: the RFP Agent and Cockpit.
The event featured hands-on demonstrations, inspiring customer testimonials, and conversations with leading experts including Pierre Lagarde (CTO Public Sector, Microsoft), Gregoire Fremont (Generali), Raphael Frontera (Witivio), and Alexis Conia (Microsoft MVP).
The Microsoft Copilot M365 Vision, by Pierre Lagarde
The morning kicked off with an inspiring keynote by Pierre Lagarde, CTO Public Sector at Microsoft.
He offered an exclusive preview of the latest Microsoft advances in AI and Copilot, highlighting how these innovations integrate into everyday tools to fundamentally transform organizational productivity.
Pierre also emphasized Witivio’s distinctive role in this ecosystem: thanks to its unique expertise in agent design, Witivio has established itself as a strategic Microsoft partner and a key player in developing and deploying tailored Copilot solutions for specific business needs.
This recognition underscores the importance of collaboration between technology vendors and specialized partners to accelerate practical AI adoption in the enterprise.
The RFP Agent: Automating and Streamlining Procurement
Raphael Frontera, AI Specialist at Witivio, then unveiled the RFP Agent, an AI agent designed for procurement and commercial teams.
This tool automates up to 65% of tasks related to requests for proposals, delivering four major benefits:
- Centralization of all information in a single workspace
- Automation of repetitive, time-consuming tasks
- Greater process reliability and fewer errors
- Smarter decision-making powered by AI
Through live demonstrations, attendees witnessed firsthand how the RFP Agent dramatically reduces processing times while improving response quality.
Exclusive Case Study: Generali and Cockpit
The testimony of Gregoire Fremont, Head of End User IT Support at Generali, was a highlight of the morning.
Generali partnered with Witivio to completely redesign its IT support portal, which had become outdated and poorly suited for non-technical users. The goal was clear: empower users to self-serve and automate routine requests, with a significant reduction in incident tickets and support requests.
The result was Cockpit, an AI-powered dashboard integrated into Microsoft Teams that centralizes all IT requests and delivers a smooth, efficient user experience.
The outcomes:
- Employees can resolve many of their routine needs on their own
- IT support teams focus on complex, high-value requests
User satisfaction has improved, while resolution times have dropped.
Gregoire also praised Witivio’s methodology: an agile approach with regular demonstrations and constant feedback, making Witivio a trusted partner for both Generali and Microsoft.
Building Your Own Copilot Agents
The morning concluded with a highly anticipated session led by Alexis Conia (Microsoft MVP).
The goal: show attendees, step by step, how to create their own AI agents in Copilot Studio.
This hands-on session demystified the development of custom agents. Participants left with a clear methodology for designing and prototyping their own AI solutions.
In addition to the main demonstrations, two inspiring projects were shared as bonus content:
Copilot for Researcher, an agent built for the Institut Curie to support researchers in managing and leveraging their scientific data.
An agent deployed as part of the ITER project, centralizing and optimizing the management of complex processes in energy research.
These real-world use cases illustrated the breadth of AI applications across different industries.
A Morning Rich in Insights and Opportunities
Beyond the demos and case studies, the event was above all an opportunity for meaningful peer-to-peer exchange, sharing best practices, and advancing a shared question: how do we embed AI at the heart of business operations to create real impact?
With the RFP Agent and Cockpit, Witivio demonstrates that AI is not just a technological promise: it is already a concrete reality for procurement, commercial, and IT departments.
We sincerely thank all participants, as well as our partners at Microsoft and Generali, for the quality of the discussions and testimonials.
To take the next step, request a personalized demo of the RFP Agent or Cockpit.
The journey of applied AI in the enterprise is just beginning. At Witivio, we are confident that the coming months will bring new practices that are even more effective and centered on the needs of teams.
