Teknikos is a strategy-to-execution firm that works alongside Microsoft and technology partner teams inside enterprise customer engagements. We identify the right AI problems to solve, design the architecture, and build the solution — on partner platforms, inside partner go-to-market structures. We have been doing this for over 20 years.

How does Teknikos work with Microsoft?

Microsoft account and sales teams engage Teknikos directly to support enterprise customer relationships. Teknikos embeds with Microsoft sellers in customer engagements, identifies the right use cases, designs the solution, and builds it on Microsoft platforms. Teknikos is Microsoft's recognized expert for Surface AI workshops and development labs.

What is the Genuix Applied AI Research Lab?

Genuix is Teknikos' applied AI research lab focused on building practical AI software products. Genuix Dimensions, available in the Microsoft Store, runs on Phi Silica and Azure AI Foundry Local.

What is Teknikos not?

Teknikos is not a staffing firm, managed service provider, reseller, or generic IT consultancy. We cover the full span from business problem identification through production deployment, in one team, inside partner go-to-market motions.

Our Local and Hybrid AI expertise, scaled for global success.

Teknikos designs and delivers Surface AI workshops and development labs in partnership with Microsoft – structured programs that move customers, partners, and sellers from awareness to applied fluency with the Surface Local and Hybrid AI platform.

What Are These Programs

Teknikos’ Surface AI workshops and development labs are hands-on learning built to empower customers, partners, and sellers to qualify, map, and route local and hybrid AI solutions to enterprise value.

Designed for enterprise customers, channel partners, and Microsoft field teams, each workshop empowers attendees to activate the AI Platform so that they can lead in their domain.

The Teknikos Hybrid AI Framework

Qualify

Our 8 Forces framework identifies AI workloads that can benefit from local AI implementation.

These forces are the foundation of our own practice, and are taught in our workshops to empower attendees to recognize opportunities for local and hybrid AI.

Map

We align the 8 Forces with the platform technologies and services that deliver hybrid AI.

The AI Platform delivers local inferencing capabilities, security and governance, and AI development and deployment resources at enterprise scale.

Route

The Teknikos Hybrid Routing Tree demystifies hybrid AI, accelerating concepts to solutions.

Our Hybrid Routing Tree translates business requirements into functional, enterprise-ready local and hybrid solution architectures.
