Enterprise Automation Use Cases

Enterprise Automation
on Azure AI Foundry

Production-ready AI agents for the highest-value enterprise automation patterns — document processing, knowledge management, and ERP process intelligence — all built on Azure AI Foundry.

How enterprise automation agents on Azure AI Foundry work

Three patterns account for much of the manual work in large organisations: reading documents, finding answers in internal knowledge, and clicking through ERP screens. The agents in this section automate each one.

The Document Intelligence Agent receives documents by email, upload portal or Azure Blob Storage, classifies them, extracts structured fields with Azure AI Document Intelligence and GPT-4o, scores its confidence, and pushes validated data into your ERP, CRM or document system through Azure Logic Apps. The Enterprise Knowledge Agent connects Azure AI Search to SharePoint, Confluence and other repositories and answers with cited responses grounded in what it retrieves. The ERP Process Agent maps your workflows and builds secure connections to Dynamics 365 or SAP through Azure API Management.

Each agent keeps a checkpoint before it acts alone: confidence scores on extraction, citations on answers, and a shadow-mode period where ERP agents run alongside your existing process.

Frequently asked questions

Where should we start?

Start with your highest-volume manual process that has clear rules and existing digital inputs. Document handling and internal questions are common first choices, and a scoping call confirms the right one.

What is shadow mode?

The ERP agent runs in parallel with your existing process first, so results can be compared and validated before full cutover.

Does the knowledge agent show where answers come from?

Yes. Answers are cited, and a strict grounding instruction prevents it from responding with anything the retrieved content does not support.

Which ERP systems does it connect to?

The ERP agent is built for Dynamics 365 and SAP environments, connected through Azure API Management.

How is the work priced?

Each agent is delivered as a fixed-price build, scoped on a 30-minute call.
