On June 29, Haleon, a consumer health company, announced a new five-year collaboration with Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) to expand the use of cloud, data, and artificial intelligence tools across Haleon's global operations. The deal builds on Haleon's current use of Microsoft 365 Copilot and is designed to speed up the company's wider "Win as One" strategy. The expanded collaboration entails Haleon continuing to use Microsoft Azure as its main cloud platform and expanding its use of Copilot, giving access to broader computing power, data analytics, and enterprise security tools. A major focus is agentic AI, where Haleon plans to use this technology to help teams manage and secure digital AI agents. The two companies will jointly build AI applications across consumer research, product innovation, supply chain management, marketing, and commercial execution. Microsoft will also provide stronger identity management, governance, and threat protection tools. Haleon framed the expanded AI push as supporting two long-term business goals: reaching one billion additional consumers by 2030 and improving shareholder returns.
