Prismforce advances Agentic AI inside Microsoft 365 for skill-based workforce execution
Prismforce has launched the SkillPrism AI Companion, an agentic AI solution embedded across Microsoft 365. The rollout brings skill intelligence and staffing actions into Microsoft Teams, Word, PowerPoint, and Microsoft 365 Copilot, so managers can act on talent decisions without switching tools.
The Companion is built on Prismforce's SkillPrism engine and runs on a secure, compliance-ready setup with role-based access controls. The goal is straightforward: faster staffing, sharper skill visibility, and smoother collaboration inside the apps your teams already use.
What you can do inside Microsoft 365
- Search associate profiles by verified skills, certifications, experience, and availability.
- Update skills and resumes, with automated suggestions based on recent work and learning data.
- Trigger learning actions tied to skill gaps and project needs.
- Receive intelligent notifications on staffing options, bench movement, and expiring skills.
- Collaborate in Teams on role definitions, candidate shortlists, and approval workflows.
For context on Microsoft's AI experience in M365, see Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Why this matters for management
- Reduce time-to-staff by bringing profiles, recommendations, and approvals into one workspace.
- Lift utilization by matching demand to verified skills, not just titles or past projects.
- Improve forecast accuracy with a unified view of skills, learning velocity, and supply.
- Boost engagement through visible career paths and relevant upskilling prompts.
Practical use cases across the talent lifecycle
- Workforce planning: Map current skills to upcoming demand; spot gaps early; plan internal mobility.
- Staffing: Generate shortlists based on skills, location, rates, and availability; route for approvals in Teams.
- Development: Recommend learning modules tied to project pipelines and role expectations.
- Governance: Standardize skill taxonomies, track profile completeness, and manage access by role.
Security and governance
The Companion operates with role-based access, integrates with enterprise identity, and is built for compliance needs common to large organizations. Data stays within enterprise controls while enabling collaboration inside Microsoft 365.
