Becoming a Frontier Firm: How to Harness the Power of Agentic AI

Thomas Van Dorpe

Thomas Van Dorpe

January 12, 2026

What sets leading organizations apart today is their ability to transform data into immediate, meaningful action. In 2026, digital transformation is accelerating beyond data collection. Success now hinges on activating insights in real time.  

In theiannual Work Trend Index report, Microsoft refers to these early adopters as ‘Frontier Firms’: organizations that treat technology not just as a support tool, but as their strategic engine for growth and innovation. 

Frontier Firms are already taking shape, and within the next 2–5 years we expect that every organization will be on their journey to becoming one.

(2025: The year the Frontier Firm is born - Work Trend Index Annual Report)

 

Agents all the Way

Many organizations express hesitation about implementing AI, often citing concerns around data security and system control. These are important priorities that deserve careful attention. At the same time, the potential business value of AI is clear and measurable. Addressing security and control should be an integral part of any AI strategy, ensuring that organizations can confidently unlock the benefits while maintaining trust and oversight. 

Agents deliver immediate impact through increased operational efficiency, faster decision-making, and improved customer experiences. By automating routine processes and surfacing actionable insights, you can reduce costs, accelerate time-to-value, and unlock new growth opportunitiesFlemish government organization VTS put it to the test by automating part of their audit process for grant applications. Their approach proofs that agents are not intended to replace human expertise. They will support teams so in turn, they can focus on higher-value work, driving measurable improvements in productivity and business resilience. 

As a Microsoft Inner Circle partner, Cegeka works shoulder to shoulder with you to rise to the challenge and become a Frontier Firm. How? By making AI a practical, integrated part of your core processes, turning digital transformation into tangible impact.  

1. First-Party Agents within Dynamics 365

With Microsoft Dynamics 365, you can thoughtfully introduce autonomous AI agents that enhance daily operations. These intelligent agents are designed to anticipate needs, initiate workflows, and support teams in making informed, real-time decisions. Microsoft offers a curated set of First Party agents across areas like Supply Chain, Finance, Business Central, and Sales. They provide targeted automation that delivers immediate business value without overwhelming your environment. 

These agents are there to work alongside your teams, handling routine tasks and freeing up your people to focus on more strategic priorities, all while maintaining a secure and manageable system landscape. 

"81% say they expect agents to be moderately or extensively integrated into their company’s AI strategy in the next 12–18 months."

(2025: The year the Frontier Firm is born - Work Trend Index Annual Report)

2. Cegeka built agents within Dynamics 365 

Beyond the standard first-party agents, Cegeka goes further by developing specialized agents within Dynamics 365 through close collaboration. We work shoulder to shoulder with you to identify your most critical business processes and co-create custom Dynamics 365 agents designed to deliver tangible business value and measurable ROI. A prime example is our Quality Impact Recall Agent, which continuously monitors product quality in real-time, predicts potential issues, and triggers preventive actions before problems escalate. You can catch a glimpse of this agent in action here. 

This approach not only showcases our commitment to long-term relationships but also demonstrates the true spirit of partnership with you. 

3. Copilot Studio: Agentic Al across the entire organization 

But as a Frontier Firm, you don’t want to limit the impact of agents to your Dynamics 365 platform. As you grow in this new way of working, you want to connect intelligence across your organization. With Copilot Studio and Power Platform, you can infuse AI intro every corner of your operations: from procurement to marketing and HR.

Take procurement for example: a process often burdened by manual approvals and endless paperwork. By introducing AI agents, teams can reduce complexity, speed up decisions, and save valuable time. In our article The Future of Procurement: How Agentic AI Can Offer Competitive Edge, we share how a connected set of agents work together to cover an entire process end to end. 

Cegeka: Your Frontier Firm Partner 

Your ambition to lead your industry is clear. But in today’s rapidly evolving landscape, standing still means falling behind. The path to becoming a Frontier Firm is not without challenges: economic uncertainty, resource constraints, and the complexity of integrating AI can create hesitation. Yet, this is precisely where opportunity lies. By embracing agentic AI, you can unlock actionable insights, boost productivity, and gain a decisive competitive edge. 

At Cegeka, we’ve guided organizations like yours through this very transformation, drawing on proven best practices and lessons from across industries. As your experienced partner, we help you navigate barriers, empower your people, and turn your vision into reality. By rethinking business processes with AI at the center, Agentic AI can help you lead the change 

Are you ready to become a Frontier Firm? 

2026 is the year that Frontier Firms are not just defined, but also being built. And Cegeka is ready to lead the way, to help you right now and in the future. Book a hyperautomation session to identify the automation potential in your organization or contact us for more information about Al journeys.
