At Microsoft Ignite 2025, Microsoft outlined a vision for the “frontier” organization: one dramatically transformed through AI and AI agents. The more than 20,000-person crowd was treated to demos that showcased how working alongside agents will occur for everyone, from everyday business users to the infrastructure and operations, security and risk, and developer personas who largely filled the Ignite seats. While not everything landed (the fictional company, Zava, was a bit overdone), the underlying message was clear: Microsoft is navigating the frontier right alongside its customers.
