LSEG integrates productivity and collaboration tools to collapse fragmented workflows through artificial intelligence grounded in trusted, regulatory-grade data and embedded into the tools professionals use, he said.
D’Jelal described LSEG’s deep integration with Microsoft products. Through Microsoft Copilot, Teams and Excel, users can discover filings, news and research in a unified interface. Single sign-on allows users to move fluidly between Excel and LSEG Workspace while preserving access permissions and context.
“Being able to speak to the machine in your chosen native language and ask it to compile the report and modify the report is something that we see as a basic capability of an agentic workflow,” he said.
In this video interview with Information Security Media Group at Microsoft Ignite 2025, D’Jelal also discussed,
- Role of trusted, accurate data in regulated AI workflows;
- Natural language and agentic interfaces speeding discovery and analysis;
- Seamless integration of LSEG Workspace with Microsoft tools via single sign-on.
D’Jelal leads the integration of LSEG’s data and workflow solutions into collaboration tools such as Excel and Teams. He drives the adoption of agentic AI to modernize financial workflows, focusing on simplifying complex, repetitive tasks and enabling community-aligned, AI assisted processes.
