We're pleased to share that we've formed a new partnership with Microsoft enabling us to further transform the way we unlock growth in accounting and professional services firms. It's a first of its kind partnership, brining together our leadership in high volume, AI-powered resource matching technology alongside Microsoft's innovative and ever-growing portfolio of powerful solutions in the vertical. We share the same level of ambition for the professional services and accounting market, an area that is being disrupted, and where powerful technology represents a huge opportunity.
Our platform already helps firms plan smarter and grow faster – using AI to support resourcing, visibility of project financials, and margin optimization. Our experience with global firms, including the Big Four, BDO, and Grant Thornton, shows how important it is for teams to have simple access to accurate information whein shaping projects or building engagement teams. Our combined customers depend on our mission critical datasets. Alongside Microsoft, Dayshape is co-innovating a suite of AI applications leveraging Teams, Copilot, and a range of easy-to-use natural language tools that open up resource management data to all levels of a professional services firm from CEO to practitioner.
Our availability on Microsoft Azure Marketplace means that firms can now adopt Dayshape through a channel they already know, opening up the opportunity to collaborate across the growing ecosystem. We are partnering on how resource planning insight can be accessed through familiar tools such as Microsoft Teams and Copilot. This means leaders, managers, and practitioners will be able to ask simple questions about capacity, team availability, or project scenarios, and get clear answers in the flow of their day. Essentially it's about opening up information that has historically been the sole domain of resourcing teams, locked in spreadsheets/systems and making it useful for everyone.
By bringing together our experience in high volume resource matching with Microsoft's Cloud, AI, and CRM tools, we can make planning clearer, faster, and easier to access. Firms want smoother workflows from demand to staff and through to delivery and financial insight. They want the ability to act quickly when demand changes and understand how different scenarios will play out. Our work with Microsoft is designed to support exactly that.
Microsoft is also collaborating with us as we continue to develop more advanced AI functionality. This includes exploring future use of large language models to support how firms plan, manage, and deliver work. For customers who are dealing with greater pressure on visibility, utilization, and workload balance, these developments will help create a smoother flow of information across teams and give people clearer insights in the tools they already use.
Resource management is now a strategic concern and opportunity across the industry. It influences profitable growth, project quality, team wellbeing, and client satisfaction. Connecting our Dayshape platform with Microsoft technology offers a way for firms to join up their data, strengthen their forecasting, and give their people the visibility to work confidently – leading to stronger and more profitable firms.
Our customers are going through positive disruption and this is the right moment to introduce a more connected offering that supports that change and makes Dayshape more accessible to firms through the Microsoft ecosystem.
We'll continue developing this collaboration in the months ahead and we look forward to sharing more updates as our joint work progresses. For now, you can read more about how Microsoft views AI-powered resource management in their latest blog, available here.
