Document processing has accelerated contract reviews and enabled rapid development of AI-driven supply chain solutions
With regard to security, compliance, or governance features in Azure AI Foundry, this is something that we have started looking into, primarily using Microsoft Purview for our governance, data governance. There is this new module called DSPM for AI, and we are exploring it while trying to operationalize it with different policies and so forth, but we're still not where we want to be on the governance, AI governance side. It's a process and a path, and we are trying to work through that right now. Azure AI Foundry can be improved from the governance perspective, as a lot can be done. The promising part is the recent announcement on the Foundry control plane. A couple of days back, there was an announcement regarding it bringing in some of the gaps that were on the platform, so it's a really positive direction in terms of where it's going. More governance is what is lacking, but the control plane will really play a big role there.

Automated invoice workflows have transformed our document processing and reduced manual effort
UiPath AI Center offers several great features, including the ability to create datasets manually and automate the pipeline for retraining ML models. I can easily set a default timing or create a recurring pipeline to train the documents from Action Center, which provides me with a variety of features, with the easy user interface being one of the best aspects.The recurring pipeline scheduling has saved me a lot of time because I usually have to manually train and mark documents, but when users utilize my bot, they contribute to the data, marking approximately 50% of invoice extraction fields from Action Center. This allows the existing marked data to be automatically retrained, significantly saving me time as a developer and improving the training efficiency since multiple users are validating the invoices, generating a lot of data for training. UiPath AI Center has positively impacted my organization, particularly in automating the invoice extraction process, leading to significant cost savings and time reduction. Manually reading and posting invoices in SAP involves considerable time and effort, but by automating invoice extraction and posting, we now only require users to flag low-confidence fields, allowing for major cycle time reduction and cost savings in invoice processing. I estimate a 50 to 70% reduction in cycle time and roughly a 60% reduction in the required manual effort. Some humans still need to validate the extracted data, so it may be around 60 to 75%.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Microsoft Foundry has helped reduce the time taken for AI app and agent development cycles in our organization."
"Azure AI Foundry has helped reduce the time taken for AI app and agent development cycles by approximately 50% for one use case."
"The feature of Azure AI Foundry that I prefer most is the guardrails, as it is much easier than the one that Bedrock in AWS provides."
"A statistical analysis workflow that earlier took three hours was cut down to 20 minutes after using Microsoft Foundry."
"The benefit of using Azure AI Foundry for the organization is saving time, so saving time and then making money—now that we have this, many people were not doing this because it took them so long to do that research, that has been fixed."
"It is flexible, it is scalable, and it is a solid product, and that is the advice I would give to others looking into using Microsoft Foundry."
"In general, I think being able to set up something like this with Microsoft Foundry is quite neat."
"The features of Azure AI Foundry that I appreciate the most include the model catalog and the capability to deploy all of these different models, especially now that they've added Anthropic, which was the big one that was missing."
"UiPath AI Center is found to be very valuable because it has improved significantly in extracting information from each invoice."
"UiPath AI Center has positively impacted my organization, particularly in automating the invoice extraction process, leading to significant cost savings and time reduction."
 

Cons

"There is always scope for improvement regarding Azure AI Foundry, but I am still in exploring mode."
"My biggest critique is some of the fragmentation of their different AI services they have, including AI Open, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Azure Foundry. They feel very disjointed sometimes, so having a unified single experience for all of that would be ideal."
"On a very common end or whatever is available on the basic pricing, I think Microsoft tools are priced on a higher side compared to its competitors."
"Right now, because of the UI and the complexity of it, it is complicated and cumbersome, and I think figuring out how to simplify that would probably make it a faster process."
"One of the big things Azure AI Foundry could improve is continuously evolving the governance elements and how, while I know they exist, the more control we can have over different elements and observation of what different agents are doing, the better."
"My experience with Azure AI Foundry's pricing, setup cost, and licensing was a mess."
"Azure AI Foundry can be improved from the governance perspective, as a lot can be done."
"I gave it a seven because whenever I needed to build a multi-agent system, the prompt flow that would control the chain of command between the agents had to be built inside the AI Hub."
"To improve UiPath AI Center, clients need to be convinced to purchase a separate Document Understanding license because it is quite costly."
"One improvement I would like to see in UiPath AI Center is the addition of more ML models."
