    THEIA AI WORKFLOW FOR SMEs

    A workflow that takes on
    measurable work.

    We take one clearly scoped workflow into controlled production in 4–8 weeks — with a measurable target, evaluation, human approval and documented operations from Zurich.

    SIMULATED EXAMPLE FLOW

    Example process: from request to approved quote.

    This simulated example flow shows possible steps using Dynamics and bexio. It is not a live customer run or live AI system.

    Synthetic sample data — not Theia pricing.

    Human approval remains part of the example process.

    THE CONTEXT

    Frontier Firm, Frontier Company — what just happened?

    Two terms that are easy to mix up — and the difference between them is exactly the point that matters for you.

    The Frontier Firm — the destination.

    That's what Microsoft's Work Trend Index calls companies with intelligence on tap, where people and AI agents work as one team. It is a way-of-working framework, not a company-size threshold or certificate. The relevant question is where agents can safely take on defined work while people remain responsible.

    The Microsoft Frontier Company — the delivery organisation.

    In July 2026, Microsoft announced a dedicated organisation with a 2.5 billion dollar investment and 6,000 specialists, initially working with customers such as Unilever and the London Stock Exchange. Its delivery language is source context, not a promise made by Theia.

    Our position: “Frontier Firm” is a Microsoft research framework, not a certification. Theia is not the Microsoft Frontier Company and is not endorsed by it. Our offer starts with one scoped SME workflow, its quality bar and the controls required for production.

    THEIA'S DELIVERY MODEL

    Our commitments for one scoped workflow.

    This is Theia's own delivery model — not a Microsoft certification and not a promise made on Microsoft's behalf.

    A controlled production slice.

    We define one workflow, its acceptance criteria and human decision points. We build and evaluate it against realistic cases, then take it into controlled production after approval — typically within 4–8 weeks.

    The required systems, connected.

    An agent is only as useful as the systems and permissions it can use safely. We document and connect Microsoft 365, Dynamics and the Power Platform — plus bexio, Abacus or industry software where the scoped workflow requires it.

    Controls before go-live.

    For the selected services we review data flows, processing regions, subprocessors, permissions and retention. The agreed controls and human approvals are documented before production — because the answer differs by architecture.

    IN PRACTICE

    What an agent takes off your plate.

    No future scenarios — four examples built today with Copilot Studio, Dynamics and the Power Platform.

    The quoting agent

    Pulls customer data from the CRM, items and prices from bexio, and assembles the draft quote. Your sales team reviews and sends — in minutes, not after hours.

    The support agent

    Answers recurring customer questions from your own knowledge base, around the clock — and hands over to your team the moment it gets demanding. Cleanly logged in the CRM.

    The back-office agent

    Reads orders and enquiries from the shared mailbox, records them in your system as structured data and puts the task in front of the right person. No more re-typing.

    The briefing agent

    Compiles the dossier before every customer meeting: recent orders, open invoices, latest correspondence. Your field staff arrive prepared — without an hour of digging.

    HOW IT WORKS

    A controlled production slice in 4–8 weeks.

    The 4–8 week range applies to a custom, clearly scoped workflow. Our productized Microsoft 365 Support Agent follows a standardized scope and a separate activation timeline.

    1 · Scope & evaluation plan

    Together we define one workflow, baseline, target metric, acceptance cases and the points where a person must review or approve. You then receive a fixed quote for that scope.

    2 · Build & validate

    We build the production slice, test it with realistic cases and measure it against the agreed quality bar. Human approval remains mandatory at the defined decision points.

    3 · Controlled go-live & operation

    After the documented go-live decision, we monitor quality and exceptions, improve the workflow and only then discuss a separately scoped expansion.

    Microsoft is our core business.

    We have delivered Dynamics 365 and Power Platform integrations for years. Copilot Studio extends that stack for clearly scoped agent workflows.

    Proven on AppSource.

    Our bexio↔Dynamics connector is published on Microsoft AppSource — reviewed by Microsoft, in production at Swiss SMEs.

    Fixed quote.

    The quote after the intro call is the price. Changes in scope are quoted before we build.

    Controls made explicit.

    We document data flows, processing regions, subprocessors, access, retention and human controls for the selected architecture before go-live.

    FROM PRACTICE

    Advact AG

    Advact demonstrates the integration foundation: Dynamics 365 as the central platform and bexio synchronized automatically, delivered in one month. It is not an AI-agent reference; it shows the data and integration groundwork a workflow can build on.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    The term comes from Microsoft's Work Trend Index: companies with intelligence on tap, where people and AI agents work as one team. It is a research framework, not a certification, partner designation or endorsement of Theia or its customers.

    A dedicated organisation within Microsoft, announced on July 2, 2026: around 2.5 billion dollars and 6,000 specialists who build and run AI systems with initial reference customers including Unilever, Novo Nordisk and the London Stock Exchange. Microsoft has not presented it as a packaged SME offer, and Theia is not part of that organisation.

    The Microsoft research can provide orientation, but the actual solution depends on licences, region, data and the workflow. Theia's offer is to scope one custom workflow, evaluate it and take it into controlled production with documented controls — not to reproduce Microsoft's Frontier Company programme.

    That depends on the workflow, integrations and required controls. After a free 30-minute intro call, you receive a written fixed-price quote for a clearly defined scope. A custom workflow is typically delivered as a controlled production slice in 4–8 weeks.

    We verify your existing entitlements rather than assuming they are sufficient. Depending on the workflow, Copilot Studio capacity, Dynamics licences, connectors or other services may be required; those dependencies are documented before the fixed quote is agreed.

    There is no blanket answer independent of the architecture. Before go-live we document the selected services, data flows, processing regions, subprocessors, permissions, retention and model terms, assess them against your requirements and agree the necessary technical and organisational controls.

    We avoid an isolated demo, but we do not skip validation. One real workflow is scoped with a baseline, acceptance cases and human decision points, evaluated before and during a controlled rollout, and only released after an explicit go-live decision.

    No. The Support Agent is a productized service with a standardized scope and its own activation timeline. This offer covers a custom workflow and therefore uses the durable 4–8 week range for scope, integration, evaluation and controlled go-live.
