Use case typeAI platformUpdated Jun 13, 2026
Danske Statsbaner (DSB), Scandinavia's largest train operator with 6,500 employees, initiated a transformative AI program in collaboration with Microsoft to modernize operations and improve customer experiences. Facing stiff competition from automobile travel, DSB focused on making rail journeys more attractive and efficient. The company leveraged Microsoft AI, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, to democratize AI usage, foster a culture of innovation, and break down data silos across the organization. Practical implementations included the use of AI for graffiti cleanup, resulting in operational cost reductions, and the application of generative AI and machine learning to drive productivity improvements for both business and IT-led projects. These efforts not only improved service quality but also resulted in a notable 30% boost in productivity and a cultural shift towards more data-driven decision-making.
