Forward Deployed AI Engineering

Our engineers join your team, work in your tenant and ship AI to production every two weeks.

A small team of certified Microsoft engineers joins your team and works from your backlog. They build agents, Copilot extensions and Azure AI apps, plus the Power Platform, Dynamics 365 and full stack development work around them, and they ship to production every sprint. The team is based in Australia, and you can change its size each month.

Accelerate business value with Forward Deployed AI Engineering

You have a backlog of AI and automation work that would pay for itself, and nobody free to build it. Hiring an AI engineer takes months. A fixed-scope consulting project locks the requirements before anyone knows what the agent should do. Contractors leave you running recruitment, onboarding and code review.

A forward deployed team works as part of yours: typically three engineers, with a tech lead, scrum master and QA. They join your stand-ups and Teams channels, take work from your backlog, and ship to production in two-week sprints under your governance. You pay a predictable monthly fee and change the team size as the backlog changes.
