Microsoft has announced a $2.5 billion investment to launch Microsoft Frontier Co., a new division focused on helping businesses deploy artificial intelligence technologies, reported by CNBC.
According to the report, the new unit will deploy 6,000 employees directly with clients through a model known as forward deployed engineering (FDE).
The move comes as technology companies intensify efforts to accelerate enterprise AI adoption. The report noted that Amazon recently committed $1 billion to a similar initiative, while OpenAI and Anthropic have also established FDE teams.
Microsoft said businesses remain at different stages of AI adoption and require hands-on guidance to select models, integrate AI into operations and protect intellectual property. The company expects the new division to strengthen customer adoption of its AI ecosystem.
