What we build.

Three products, one thesis. A shipping extension for D365 that we built for all of our customers. A methodology that reduces implementation time and effort by 30–40%. And Helios, the AI operating system Ludia runs on, now available to the world. Microsoft underneath, agentic operating system on top.

2 AI Implementation Methodology

MethodologyIn production

The methodology.

The operationalized form of the velocity-compression argument. Every workstream of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 engagement, re-engineered with AI as the lever. A measurable 30–40% reduction in time and effort.

Why it exists.

The longest line on any ERP Gantt is “discovery.” Six months of senior business leaders explaining how their business runs to a delivery team that's never operated it. AI compresses this asymmetry. We arrive at the first workshop already knowing how the work flows, and we spend the meeting on the decisions instead of the explanation.

How it's used.

The methodology is the default scaffold for every new Ludia engagement. AI-assisted discovery on intake. AI handles the first-draft configuration, generates the test coverage, and narrates the training materials. Human senior architects own the decisions; the AI removes the tax of getting to them.

What it changes.

The economics. An engagement that costs 30–40% less in time and effort prices differently than the old version. The senior team stays embedded the whole way. The customer ships faster, with less burden on their team to support the project.

3 Helios

AI operating systemIn production at LudiaAvailable

Helios.

Ludia's own AI operating system, now available to the world. The way we run Ludia, productized for the way you run your business.

Applied inside Ludia

Why it exists.

Most consulting firms run on whiteboards, spreadsheets, and tribal knowledge. The senior architects know how things work; the system doesn't. When a firm like that grows, the system breaks before the people do. We weren't willing to let that happen at Ludia.

What it is.

A full model of how Ludia operates: every workstream of every engagement type, every methodology decision, every customer pattern, every delivery move that's worked or hasn't. We have mapped the entire business and built it ready for agility. The system knows what our senior architects know. New people get senior context on day one.

How it changes us.

Decisions that used to take a meeting now take a Teams message. The methodology isn't a document anymore. It's a working system that produces work. The AI Implementation Methodology runs on Helios. So does every active engagement. So does the firm's pipeline, capacity planning, and quality discipline.

Available to the world

The thesis.

Customers don't want another copilot bolted on. They want their business to operate the way a senior team operates: fast, instrumented, agile, with the AI doing the unglamorous coordination work. Helios gives them the operating layer we use ourselves.

What you get.

The same architecture and AI core, configured for your industry, your data, your operating patterns. Helios maps your workstreams the same way Ludia's are mapped, and every row carries the KPI it moves, its build and run cost on Microsoft, and the person who owns it.

Where it fits.

It starts with a map of one business line; the build delivers the running platform. Helios ships with the AI Implementation Methodology. Post go-live, your senior team operates Helios the way Ludia's senior team does. Same model, different business shape.

How Helios starts with you

Three stages. Seven steps.

Helios never starts from scratch. Ludia arrives with your industry's map pre-filled, and your people correct a draft instead of starting one.

Listen

We arrive with your industry's map pre-filled, then listen: your people tell us how the work really runs, and Ludia's proprietary agents draft the map.

  1. 1Interviews
  2. 2Analysis

Strategize

Your experts and our solution architects decide what each piece of work becomes, which KPI it answers to, and in what order it happens.

  1. 3Agentic distribution
  2. 4KPI alignment
  3. 5Roadmap

Execute

Every investment is tied to a number before it's funded, and measured after it's built.

  1. 6Estimation: what it needs, what it costs to build, maintain and run, its priority, its impact
  2. 7The business case, then every quarter: KPI, cost, results

A clear direction for AI, and the proof it's working.

Helios is Ludia's proprietary method, built on Microsoft's Success by Design and business process libraries and on hundreds of years of Ludia know-how.
