Dayshape is working with Microsoft to bring agentic, AI‑powered staffing to professional services firms, turning their ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), HRM (Human Resource Management) and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems of record into systems of action.
Dayshape was selected for Microsoft’s Agentic Launchpad to accelerate these capabilities, with a focus on embedding resource intelligence directly inside the Microsoft tools firms use every day. Through deep integration with Microsoft solutions , firms are able to use Dayshape in Microsoft Teams or Microsoft 365 Copilot to gain insight into their business - from quick questions on schedules and availability to deeper analysis of skills, capacity and project financials. Agentic capabilities enabling autonomous risk mitigation and firm-wide optimisation are launching later this year. This matters now because innovative firms are seeking to move to an AI‑first enterprise architecture where agentic capabilities in the application layer execute tasks.
At the heart of the collaboration is Dayshape’s proprietary AI combinatorial optimisation engine, proven in the largest global professional services firms. This technology is used to navigate billions of staffing schedules, enabling Dayshape to execute resource allocation and optimisation on the customer’s behalf, matching and supplying demand at scale. The result is higher margins, greater resilience, and more predictable delivery through peak cycles.
Dayshape’s availability on Microsoft Marketplace already simplifies adoption for large professional services firms. Dayshape’s alignment with Microsoft’s cloud and AI strategy ensures that the most innovative firms can modernize without adding complexity. Their existing platforms will become more valuable because Dayshape turns static data into continuous, agentic decision making embedded in day‑to‑day operations.
Matt Cockett, CEO, Dayshape, said:
“Firms need AI that drives real outcomes, not just analysis. Our optimization engine has been doing this for years. With Microsoft, we can now deliver agentic staffing through natural language, turning data into action and helping firms deploy the right people at the right time, every time.”
Brant Hollenkanp, Microsoft Professional Services Sales Leader added:
"Professional services firms need forward‑looking, confident resource allocation capabilities. Dayshape brings the advanced execution layer to make that possible. Combined with Microsoft’s data and AI stack, Dayshape handles the entire process from demand to staffing as one connected, intelligent process.”
