Estée Lauder has initiated a partnership with Microsoft to integrate artificial intelligence and cloud technology into its global operations. The company began by deploying Microsoft Copilot to over 14,000 office employees to establish a central data foundation known as the ‘One Operating Ecosystem’. This project is intended to standardize information and reduce data silos.

Following this rollout, Estée Lauder reported third quarter 2026 revenue of $3.72 billion, exceeding market expectations. The company is now expanding its collaboration with Microsoft to advance a unified data platform. This expanded effort aims to leverage AI for identifying consumer trends, optimizing marketing, and delivering personalized customer experiences under the company’s “Beauty Reimagined” strategy.
