As a Microsoft Copilot Jumpstart Ready Tier partner, Witivio is one of the few partners in Europe authorized by Microsoft to deliver the official Agents at Work engagements, with up to 50 Microsoft-funded service days. Agents are built inside your Microsoft 365 tenant, hosted in the EU and Switzerland, under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification.
Microsoft Copilot Studio is the Microsoft 365 build environment for creating, publishing and governing AI agents connected to enterprise data. You describe its role, its knowledge sources, its actions and its guardrails, then publish it to an audience identified in Microsoft Entra ID.
Those agents live in Microsoft Teams, in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, in SharePoint or on a web channel. They read your content through Microsoft Graph, SharePoint and Dataverse, trigger actions through connectors and Power Automate flows, and consume Copilot Studio credits on every interaction. The answer is grounded in your documents, not in a public corpus.
Microsoft Foundry is the Azure platform for building custom engine agents, with model choice and multi-agent orchestration. It takes over when the scenario goes beyond Copilot Studio: heavy retrieval, complex business logic, arbitration between models. The choice is made use case by use case.
More on the vocabulary: what is a Copilot agent and what is an AI agent.
The build environment is accessible, production is not. Three situations come back in every organization that calls us.
A useful agent answers a precise process, with a named business owner. Six domains where our agents already run.
Five layers separate a demo from a service that passes the security review.
The seven criteria procurement and security teams ask to document before signing.
| Criterion | Classic Microsoft integrator | Witivio |
|---|---|---|
| Security certification | Varies by provider | ISO/IEC 27001:2022 |
| Microsoft-funded days | Rarely, reserved for accredited partners | Jumpstart Ready Tier, official Agents at Work engagements, up to 50 funded days |
| Pro-code capability | Often limited to configuration inside Copilot Studio | Copilot Studio, Agent SDK, MCP and custom engine agents on Microsoft Foundry |
| Governance after go-live | Left to the customer at delivery | Governance framework, Microsoft Agent 365 and Agent Control Pro: prompts, access, budget, compliance |
| Skills transfer | Often extended into staff augmentation | Included, your teams take over the next agents |
| Customer evidence published by Microsoft | Rarely public | GroupeActive customer story, customer testimonials presented at the Microsoft AI Tour and cited by Satya Nadella (Build 2022, AI Tour Paris 2024) |
| AIOps and FinOps of the project | Rarely tracked after delivery | Agent monitoring (answer quality, incidents, drift) and cost control (Copilot Studio credits, Foundry consumption) built in from scoping |
A comparison of practices observed on the market, not of a named provider.
Three paths, three organization profiles. We point you to the right one before the scoping phase.
| Criterion | Copilot Studio through Copilot Factory | Microsoft Foundry | AI Desk Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| The right choice when | Your Copilot licenses are deployed and the agent must integrate with Dynamics 365, Dataverse or a business process | You need a custom engine agent, heavy retrieval or model choice | You have no development team and the need is standard IT, HR or finance support |
| Licensing | Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses deployed, plus Copilot Studio credits | Azure consumption, Microsoft 365 Copilot license not required for the engine | No Microsoft 365 Copilot license required, per-user pricing |
| Team required | An internal team that takes over after the skills transfer | Pro-code profiles, supported by our architects | No developer, your business administrators are enough |
| Typical timeline | 6 to 12 weeks to the first agent in production | Depending on scope, to be assessed | 4 to 6 weeks, 3 weeks in accelerated mode |
| Available models | Built-in Microsoft models | Model choice, including Mistral through Azure AI Foundry and Claude through the Anthropic API | Azure OpenAI by default, Mistral and Claude on Premium plans |
| Next | Your teams build the next agents | Continuous evolution with our architects | Your administrators build the next agents |
| Where to go | The Copilot Factory service | The architecture section on this page | AI Desk Pro, our ready to deploy product |
Buying a ready to deploy product or building a custom agent: the question is not the size of your organization, it is whether you have an internal team and how much business integration you expect.
Four steps, deliverables at each of them, Microsoft funding eligibility checked first.
The price of an agent is not the price of the platform. The six lines we put on the table with your finance team.
Copilot Studio agent usage is paid in credits, either consumed on demand as pay-as-you-go through an Azure subscription, or bought upfront as capacity packs. The volume depends on the type of action. Current amounts are on the Microsoft Copilot Studio pricing page, reviewed with you during scoping.
Users licensed for Microsoft 365 Copilot reach published agents from Copilot Chat and Microsoft Teams, as part of their license. Without a license, usage shifts to credit consumption. That arbitration is settled before development starts.
The Microsoft Copilot Jumpstart program can fund up to 50 service days, and Witivio licenses are eligible for the Azure MACC scheme.
On the project side, a Copilot Factory scoping workshop starts at EUR 15,000, and the build is quoted at a fixed price once the scope is set.
The figures below come from delivered projects and published references.
Elsewhere: the Michelin case, 6 months of work saved per year across HR, legal, travel and administration agents.
They build their agents with Witivio
Switzerland and France
Witivio is a Microsoft Solutions Partner with the Modern Work designation, a Microsoft Copilot Jumpstart Ready Tier 2026 partner, a Microsoft Partner of the Year 2025 finalist, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and an Azure MACC partner. Our agents are built inside your Microsoft 365 tenant and hosted in the EU and Switzerland.
The four points checked by your DPO and your CISO before approving an agent for production.
Copilot Studio is subscribed separately from Microsoft 365 Copilot. Agent usage is billed in credits, as pay-as-you-go through an Azure subscription or as capacity packs bought upfront. With a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, your users find the agents in Copilot Chat and in Microsoft Teams. Witivio settles that choice with your IT department before the build.
The cost of an agent combines credits consumed, Microsoft licenses, design and development days, maintenance, analytics and governance. A Copilot Factory scoping workshop starts at EUR 15,000, and the Jumpstart program can fund up to 50 service days. Witivio issues a fixed-price quote after scoping.
Yes. An agent built on Copilot Studio queries SharePoint and Microsoft Graph with the identity of the user: each person only sees what they can already access. Witivio checks Microsoft Entra ID permissions and Microsoft Purview labels during scoping, before any go-live.
Agents are built inside your Microsoft 365 tenant and your data is not used to train any model. Witivio hosts its services in the EU and Switzerland and is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. The governance framework is validated with your DPO and your CISO, consistent with GDPR and the European AI Act.
Yes, through Microsoft Foundry. For a custom engine agent, the model is chosen scenario by scenario: Mistral through Azure AI Foundry, Claude through the Anthropic API, with your explicit consent. Witivio arbitrates between Copilot Studio and Foundry depending on how much control over the model you need.
Expect 2 to 4 weeks of scoping then 4 to 8 weeks of design and development: most organizations have a first agent in production in 6 to 12 weeks. Eligibility for the Microsoft Jumpstart program is confirmed within 24 hours and can fund part of those days.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is the assistant shipped with your Microsoft 365 applications. Copilot Studio is the build environment for creating your own agents, connected to your data and your processes, then publishing them in Microsoft Teams and in Copilot Chat. Witivio works on both, from license adoption to agents in production.
That is often the right call, and it is our end goal: we transfer the skills. There are three cases. Without a development team and for standard support, AI Desk Pro deploys in 4 to 6 weeks. With Copilot licenses and a business integration need, we build with you on Copilot Studio. For a custom engine, we go through Microsoft Foundry.
A first agent in production in 6 to 12 weeks, inside your Microsoft 365 tenant, with up to 50 Microsoft-funded service days if your organization is eligible for the Jumpstart program.
