Faros AI powers the future of AI-driven engineering excellence with Microsoft Azure

Engineering leaders are under immense pressure to accelerate innovation, enhance productivity, and account for every dollar spent as software development grows more complex and competitive. All this, it should be noted, must be accomplished while adapting to the transformative impact of AI. Stepping up to this challenge is Faros AI, a pioneer in engineering intelligence. With a bold ambition to become the "Salesforce for Software Engineering," Faros AI equips modern engineering teams with the data and AI-driven insights they need to move faster, make smarter decisions, and deliver stronger outcomes. Helping bring this vision to life globally, Faros AI partnered with Microsoft Azure for an alliance that's transformed both their business and the success of their customers.

Engineering leaders today are expected to deliver more with less. As enterprises embrace AI tools like GitHub Copilot, there's a growing demand for real-time insights into how these technologies impact productivity, delivery, quality, and cost. Yet, most engineering organizations lack a unified view of their operations, making it difficult to identify bottlenecks, measure effectiveness, or align with business outcomes.

Faros AI saw this gap. Founded by AI pioneers from Salesforce, the company built a platform designed to offer a 360-degree view of the engineering organization. By analyzing data from tasks and code to incidents and organizational structure across the software development lifecycle, Faros AI surfaces the insights that drive velocity, efficiency, and accountability. Ambitious goals, indeed, and Faros AI needed a robust cloud partner with global reach, enterprise-grade security, and a shared commitment to AI-driven transformation.

A partner for growth

Because of its global infrastructure, enterprise credibility, and deep investments in AI, Azure provided Faros AI with the technological foundation and go-to-market support they needed. As part of the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program, Faros AI gained access to a suite of resources, from technical expertise and strategic guidance to joint sales opportunities. Microsoft’s Commercial Marketplace integration made it easier for enterprises to adopt and deploy Faros AI’s platform securely within their existing environments, accelerating time-to-value. But the alignment runs deeper. Microsoft’s commitment to responsible AI, demonstrated by tools like GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Copilot, aligns seamlessly with Faros AI’s mission to be the visibility layer that helps organizations measure, manage, and scale their AI investments with confidence. "Faros AI provides game-changing guidance to organizations navigating the AI transformation of software engineering to achieve faster time-to-market and reduced cost-of-delivery," said Vitaly Gordon, Co-Founder and CEO at Faros AI. "Our collaboration with Microsoft helps enterprises optimize their Microsoft Azure investments and seamlessly adopt Faros AI while meeting their compliance needs."

The scalable, secure, and strategic Azure advantage

Faros AI capitalizes on several key strengths of Microsoft Azure to deliver value at scale. Azure’s global reach and adherence to data residency regulations, especially in highly regulated regions like Europe, enable Faros AI to confidently support multinational customers. Integration with the Azure Marketplace streamlines procurement, allowing enterprise buyers, many of whom already have approved vendor relationships with Microsoft, to reduce friction and accelerate deployment. Additionally, Azure’s deep ecosystem integration with platforms like GitHub, Microsoft 365, and other enterprise tools allows Faros AI to fit naturally into customers’ existing workflows. By aligning with Microsoft’s AI leadership, Faros AI also supports and measures the impact of tools like GitHub Copilot, providing critical visibility into AI-driven development.

"With software development at the core of digital transformation, engineering leaders need precise insights to guide investments in productivity, quality, collaboration, and security," said Phil Kim, Senior Director, Microsoft Corporate Business Development. "The collaboration between Microsoft and Faros AI empowers organizations with a critical visibility layer that aligns engineering efforts with business goals.”

Scaling innovation together

Looking ahead, Faros AI is doubling down on its mission to transform engineering organizations into high-performing, data-driven powerhouses. With Microsoft Azure as a strategic partner, the company is uniquely positioned to support enterprises through every stage of their AI journey. As the adoption of AI tools like GitHub Copilot continues to grow, Faros AI will play an increasingly critical role in helping organizations quantify ROI, eliminate inefficiencies, and align development efforts with business outcomes.

Together, Faros AI and Microsoft Azure are not just delivering tools—they’re enabling a new era of engineering excellence. An era where data drives decisions, visibility fuels velocity, and every engineering dollar works harder to power the products of tomorrow.
