WHY THE FOUNDING 4?

Every AI programme depends on four things: a governed data foundation, modern databases that AI workloads can trust, a fast and secure path for developers to build AI software, and at least one agent running in production with a measurable business outcome. The Fab 4 address each of these — not as long advisory engagements, but as bounded, deliverable-first motions with a clear scope, a fixed timeline, and a path to Microsoft funding. (Subject to eligibility, nomination, and proof-of-execution requirements.)

 Microsoft's FY27 Azure growth strategy is centred on four workload pillars: Databases, Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI Foundry, and GitHub. Frontier Accelerate for Azure MCI investments carry roughly 35% more Azure investment aligned to these priorities. ALIANDO's four offers address each pillar with a bounded, deliverable-first engagement. AI-Ready Databases qualifies through three independent Frontier Accelerate routes. AI-Ready Data, AI Agent Launch, and AI Builder Launch currently qualify through the Azure Expert MSP route. ALIANDO will advise on applicable funding and eligibility at the scoping stage.

Built for Microsoft's FY27 Frontier Agenda

Microsoft's FY27 partner narrative is Frontier Transformation — the shift from organisations piloting AI to organisations running it as part of how work gets done. 
 
 Frontier Transformation also marks a programme transition for partners: Microsoft's Azure Expert MSP credential retires by end of 2027, with renewal eligibility closing January 2027. Frontier Partner specialization is the designated successor. Partners who renew before January 2027 retain benefits for a further 12 months. ALIANDO is actively managing this transition to protect funding eligibility across all four offers.

 Microsoft provides funding programmes designed to reduce the cost of qualifying AI and modernisation engagements. Under FY27 Frontier Accelerate, AI-Ready Databases qualifies through three routes: Infra/Database Migration to Microsoft Azure, App Modernization on Microsoft Azure, and Azure Expert MSP. AI-Ready Data, AI Agent Launch, and AI Builder Launch currently qualify through the Azure Expert MSP route. All nominations must be submitted in Partner Center before delivery begins, with customer consent recorded within 30 days. The priority workload must clear its own ACR floor and represent at least 40% of incremental Azure consumption for the project. Proof of execution is required at delivery. All figures and terms are governed by the FY27 Microsoft Commercial Partner Incentives Guide. ALIANDO will confirm applicable funding at the engagement scoping stage. 

 Microsoft funding is subject to eligibility, nomination, availability, and proof-of-execution requirements. ALIANDO will confirm applicable funding at the engagement scoping stage.
