Atrium, a leading global provider of Talent Solutions and Extended Workforce Management, has launched Atrium Innovation & Research™ (AIR), a dedicated technology innovation lab and product incubator focused on accelerating the development of advanced workforce solutions. The launch coincides with the unveiling of ZephyrIQ, the lab’s first product—a next-generation workforce intelligence platform that leverages agentic AI and a conversational interface to deliver instant, on-demand insights from complex contingent workforce data.
AIR positions Atrium to combine its 30+ years of deep service expertise and client partnership with cutting-edge technology innovation. The lab will identify unmet needs in HR and workforce technology, incubate solutions that complement Atrium’s core services, and tackle real-world complexities in managing extended workforce ecosystems.
“Atrium has been a service trailblazer and innovator in the talent solutions and contingent workforce space for more than 30 years,” said Brad Martin, Chief Revenue Officer and President of AIR. “Highly customized service and deep client partnership will always differentiate us. With AIR, we’re reinforcing that commitment by investing in technology innovation that leverages advancements in AI and machine learning to deliver meaningful, force-multiplying value for our clients and the market in a rapidly evolving workforce landscape.”
ZephyrIQ represents a fundamental shift in workforce data access and analysis. By using agentic AI and natural language interaction, users can simply ask questions about their contingent programs and receive clear, instant, conversational responses backed by deep analytics. This eliminates reliance on time-consuming reports, static dashboards, or incomplete data, enabling faster and more informed decision-making.
“ZephyrIQ represents a major shift in how companies access, consume, and make sense of the immense amount of data generated through their contingent programs,” said Rebecca Cenni-Leventhal, Founder and CEO of Atrium. “For years, leaders have struggled to make sense of disparate systems, outdated dashboards, and incomplete data. With ZephyrIQ, you can simply ask, and the insight appears - accurately, instantly, and in conversational language. It’s the closest thing to always having a skilled workforce business analyst at your side. It’s an intelligent partner that knows your program inside and out.”
The platform is purpose-built for the intricacies of extended workforce management, supporting leaders across Procurement, HR, and program operations with reliable, real-time intelligence.
ZephyrIQ is set to launch in beta during Q1 2026. Atrium is actively inviting organizations with extended workforce programs to join the early adopter program to help shape the platform’s final capabilities.
