Microsoft & Factorial Better Together: Adding the people layer to frontier businesses
Our partnership with Microsoft began in 2024 with a shared vision: to transform how small and medium-sized businesses operate.
Today, we proudly work alongside over 100 Microsoft partners in 10+ countries to offer a complete ERP and HR stack, providing the sales enablement and go-to-market support needed to thrive alongside Business Central.
We are also aligning with Microsoft's AI strategy by connecting Factorial One with Copilot. This brings employee information directly into Copilot, so teams can get instant answers and manage daily HR tasks without leaving their workspace.

The Frontier Challenge: Why Advanced AI Needs a Governed People Layer
As forward-thinking organisations adopt Microsoft 365 Copilot and modernise on Business Central, they expect end-to-end automation. Yet while finance, sales, and IT have shifted to connected cloud platforms, people operations remain trapped in disconnected silos. Frontier businesses cannot unlock the full potential of their Microsoft ecosystem when employee records, shift scheduling, and HR workflows are isolated from their core business applications.
To scale safely and capitalise on AI, these organisations require a secure, bi-directional people infrastructure that feeds accurate data across the business.

What is Factorial One for Copilot?
Factorial One is Factorial's AI-powered agent, now available inside Microsoft Copilot. Employees and managers can speak to Factorial in plain English, directly from Copilot.
All the information Factorial One has on your company can be accessed through Copilot securely.
How it makes your life easier :
- Instant answers in one place: Ask questions and get tasks done, such as requesting time off or checking payslips, without leaving Copilot, powered by direct access to your company’s employee data.
- One unified experience: Factorial's structured HR data comes into the same AI assistant your teams already use across Microsoft 365.
