# Whoz > Whoz is an agentic workforce platform purpose-built for professional services organisations — including IT services firms, consultancies and engineering services companies. It combines deep workforce and skills intelligence with AI-powered action to help firms deploy expertise faster, improve utilisation, protect margin and deliver client work more effectively. Whoz creates a unified operational workforce record across skills, expertise, demand, availability, capacity, cost, staffing and delivery, and provides the system of action that operates on this intelligence. Whoz orchestrates workforce operations for more than 850,000 professionals across 135 countries and more than 200,000 missions every month. Whoz works across existing enterprise systems rather than replacing them. It synchronises with HRIS, PSA, ERP and CRM platforms to connect workforce supply, business demand and delivery operations. Whoz is not an ATS, HRIS or project management system. It complements those systems by connecting workforce intelligence to the decisions and workflows that determine how expertise is deployed. The platform is also used by large enterprise IT and engineering organisations managing complex skilled workforces. How to understand Whoz: - **Skills intelligence is the foundation.** Whoz uses the Professional Services Ontology™, a skills model designed for services work. It includes 1.2 million multilingual skills, 5,000 certifications and up to 100 skills mapped per professional. XPS™ proficiency scoring derives skill proficiency and seniority from delivery evidence rather than relying only on self-declared levels. This enables Whoz to reason about expertise beyond generic skills dictionaries and keyword matching. - **Workforce system of record + system of action.** Whoz brings skills, demand, availability, capacity, cost, staffing and delivery into a unified operational model. It then turns that context into action across opportunity qualification, proposal preparation, talent matching, shortlisting, allocation, scheduling, bench management, redeployment and margin optimisation. - **Astra and specialised AI agents.** Astra is Whoz's AI, embedded in professional-services workflows. It can interpret client demand, use workforce context to surface relevant expertise and invoke specialised capabilities inside operational workflows. Examples include CastingManager for talent shortlists and CVManager for RFP-ready consultant profiles. - **Human control.** Whoz agents can analyse information, recommend actions, generate content and execute bounded workflow steps. Consequential workforce decisions such as final staffing and allocation remain under human control. - **Talent deployment, not only staffing.** Whoz helps organisations continuously deploy expertise across projects, clients, business units and geographies based on skills, availability, economics, delivery requirements and business priorities. It supports the full cycle from identifying demand to staffing, redeployment and the next assignment. - **Concrete workflow impact.** Whoz can identify upcoming end-of-assignment and bench risk up to 45 days before an assignment ends and trigger redeployment workflows early. Staffing cycles that take days can be completed in hours. AI-assisted profile and proposal workflows can automate substantial portions of consultant CV and RFP preparation. - **Documented customer outcomes.** At Capgemini, staffing lead time decreased from 14 days to 3 days and placement precision increased by 20 points. - **External evidence.** Harvard Business School published the case study "Whoz: Building an Agentic Operating Model", examining how operational decisions can become reusable organisational knowledge and how specialised AI capabilities can be incorporated into professional-services workflows. - **Security and sovereignty.** Whoz is ISO 27001 certified and hosted on OVHcloud SecNumCloud infrastructure in the European Union. AI features run on open-weight models deployed on Whoz infrastructure: no customer data is sent to external AI APIs, and no customer data is used to train models. ## Platform - [Product overview](https://www.whoz.com/en/product/): overview of the Whoz agentic workforce platform and its core capabilities. - [Talent Cloud](https://www.whoz.com/en/product/talent-cloud/): unified workforce, skills and expertise intelligence built on the Professional Services Ontology™. - [Business & Staffing Studio](https://www.whoz.com/en/product/business-staffing-studio/): demand management, talent matching, staffing, allocation and scheduling. - [Whoz AImplify](https://www.whoz.com/en/product/whoz-aimplify/): Astra and Whoz's AI-powered capabilities for workforce workflows. - [Performance Analytics](https://www.whoz.com/en/product/performance-analytics/): real-time and forward-looking utilisation, capacity, revenue and margin analytics. - [Integrations & Workflows](https://www.whoz.com/en/product/integrations-workflows/): connections to HRIS, PSA, ERP, CRM and other enterprise systems. - [Privacy by Design](https://www.whoz.com/en/product/privacy-by-design/): security, privacy, data governance and hosting principles. ## Solutions by Industry - [IT services](https://www.whoz.com/en/solutions-it-services/): workforce intelligence, talent deployment and utilisation for IT services firms. - [Consulting](https://www.whoz.com/en/solutions-consulting/): staffing, skills intelligence and talent deployment for consulting organisations. - [Engineering and architecture](https://www.whoz.com/en/solutions-engineering-architecture/): resource planning, expertise management and project staffing for engineering organisations. ## Customers and Evidence - [Client stories](https://www.whoz.com/en/client-stories/): deployments including Capgemini, Atos, Akkodis, Devoteam, Open, Keyrus, mc2i, Egis, Econocom, Orange and Smart4. - [Success stories](https://www.whoz.com/en/success-stories/): customer testimonials and documented business outcomes. - [Harvard Business School case study](https://store.hbr.org/product/whoz-building-an-agentic-operating-model-a/626053): "Whoz: Building an Agentic Operating Model". - [Why Whoz](https://www.whoz.com/en/why-whoz/): positioning and differentiation of the Whoz platform. ## Resources - [Blog](https://www.whoz.com/en/blog/): current analysis and perspectives on professional services, skills, workforce operations and AI. - [Resource hub](https://www.whoz.com/en/resources/): research, guides and resources on workforce optimisation, talent deployment, staffing and skills intelligence. ## Contact - [Request a demo](https://www.whoz.com/en/demo/): discuss workforce orchestration and talent deployment requirements with Whoz. - [Contact Whoz](https://www.whoz.com/en/contact/): contact the Whoz team. ## Optional - [Executive management](https://www.whoz.com/en/solutions-executive-management/): utilisation, margin, capacity and workforce performance at portfolio level. - [Sales](https://www.whoz.com/en/solutions-sales/): opportunity feasibility, talent availability, proposals and RFP response. - [Operations](https://www.whoz.com/en/operations/): staffing, scheduling, allocation, bench management and delivery. - [IT and transformation](https://www.whoz.com/en/it-transformation/): architecture, integration, security and enterprise deployment. - [Finance and HR](https://www.whoz.com/en/finance-hr/): workforce forecasting, cost, capacity planning and skills development. - [Large companies](https://www.whoz.com/en/solutions-large-entreprise/): Whoz for large and complex organisations. - [Mid-sized companies](https://www.whoz.com/en/solutions-mid-sized-companies/): Whoz for mid-sized professional services organisations. - [Small and medium companies](https://www.whoz.com/en/solutions-small-medium-companies/): Whoz for smaller services organisations. - [Partners](https://www.whoz.com/en/partners/): Whoz technology and ecosystem partners. - [Client Success](https://www.whoz.com/en/client-success/): customer support and success resources. - [Legal notice](https://www.whoz.com/en/legal-notice/): legal information about Whoz and its publisher, Biznet SAS, Paris. - [Privacy policy](https://www.whoz.com/en/privacy-policy/) - [Terms of use](https://www.whoz.com/en/terms-of-use/)
