London, UK – 27 January 2026 – Xceptor, a global leader in data automation for capital markets, today announced its selection as one of 13 innovators to join the Microsoft Agentic Launchpad, a new programme created in collaboration with NVIDIA and WeTransact. The initiative is designed to empower the next generation of AI by providing selected companies with the resources and infrastructure needed to deploy intelligent and autonomous AI systems at scale.
Chosen from more than 500 applicants, the cohort will gain access to deep technical enablement, specialist expertise, and go‑to‑market support. This aligns with Xceptor’s plans to deploy AI agents within its Data Automation Platform, prioritising use cases where the technology delivers measurable value. These include persistent challenges in capital markets, such as settlement failures and the growing demand for sophisticated document extraction, further strengthening Xceptor’s capabilities in complex data and workflow automation.
“Joining Microsoft’s Agentic Launchpad will help us fast-track our plans for agentic AI while maintaining our commitment to security, governance, and delivering genuine value for clients,” said Dan Reid, CTO and Founder at Xceptor. “This is a natural evolution for our platform, giving us new and improved ways to automate data flows in capital markets operations. Importantly, the programme supports our focus on delivering end-to-end process orchestration with certainty, embedding AI agents where they truly deliver results.”
This milestone builds on Xceptor's longstanding collaboration with Microsoft. Xceptor’s SaaS offering is hosted on Microsoft Azure, and services such as Azure Document Intelligence and Azure OpenAI are integrated into its technology stack. The company was also recently approved and listed on Microsoft Marketplace, further strengthening joint market engagement.
