Dayforce, a global human capital management (HCM) leader, today announced an expanded partnership with Microsoft to integrate Dayforce AI Agents into everyday workflows. Unlike traditional HCM vendors that rely on add-on modules, Dayforce provides a unified, end-to-end platform built natively with Microsoft technologies, including Azure, Power BI, Entra ID, Teams, and .NET. This integration delivers enhanced interoperability, faster innovation, and greater value from Microsoft investments. The announcement was made at Dayforce Discover, alongside new capabilities designed to help organizations plan, grow, and manage work more efficiently through the Dayforce AI-powered people platform.
Organizations today face increasing pressure to streamline operations, enhance employee experiences, and ensure responsible AI adoption. Fragmented HR, payroll, and business systems often create inefficiencies, requiring employees to navigate multiple tools and processes.
The integration with Microsoft Copilot Studio brings AI-driven agents directly into the Dayforce platform, allowing employees and managers to access payroll, HR, and IT data in one seamless workflow. These AI agents provide personalized, context-aware assistance, enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency.

Key benefits of the expanded Dayforce-Microsoft integration include:
Custom AI Agents: Organizations can design and deploy AI agents using Dayforce APIs and Microsoft Copilot Studio to automate tasks, simplify decisions, and improve productivity.
Secure Interoperability: Integration with third-party applications and adoption of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ensures seamless, secure data flow across systems.
Unified Workflows: HR, payroll, IT, and operations teams can operate within a single workflow, enabling scenarios such as IT agents providing policy guidance or payroll insights directly within Microsoft tools.
“Our partnership with Dayforce combines the power, scale, and security of Microsoft Azure with Dayforce’s AI-driven innovation,” said Mark Russinovich, CTO, Deputy CISO, and Technical Fellow at Microsoft Azure. “Together, we provide organizations with trusted AI solutions on a secure, scalable cloud foundation that delivers measurable results for employees and business leaders alike.”
