ASGN Collaborates with Microsoft for NextGen AI

Pilot collaboration incorporates leading-edge AI toolsets to increase efficiency and enhance strategic IT roadmaps

ASGN Incorporated (NYSE: ASGN), a leading provider of IT services and solutions across the commercial and government sectors, announced today that the Company is collaborating with Microsoft to invest in and pilot NextGen artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, including Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Azure OpenAI Service.

ASGN is at the forefront of the generative AI transformation, working both internally and with its enterprise customer base to develop strategic use cases for GenAI technologies. Collaborating with Microsoft is a key step in advancing the Company’s internal usage of AI, preparing its team of IT consultants to become experts in cutting-edge technologies to best support its commercial and government client base.

“Microsoft has been an important client for many years,” said ASGN Chief Executive Officer, Ted Hanson. “The ability to now partner with them on such an important area of technological development across industries is a very exciting and rewarding opportunity. We look forward to perfecting our usage of GenAI so that we can guide our clients in the development of their own strategic AI roadmaps.”

To assist development teams in creating robust models around areas such as candidate search and match, ASGN is also using Azure OpenAI and Azure Cognitive Services.

“From using the Customer Success Migration Factory to migrate to Microsoft Azure with speed and quality and to securely build their own Copilot solution to better serve their employees and their customers, ASGN is reaping the benefits of Azure as the best place for your data.
