ALIANDO, a global Microsoft partner specializing in cloud, AI, security, and business applications, today celebrates its one-year anniversary as a unified brand. In just twelve months, ALIANDO has established itself as a highly aligned Microsoft partner, deepening its co-investment relationship and delivering measurable outcomes for organizations across five continents.

ALIANDO’s growth has been driven by its strong execution across the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner ecosystem, achieving Solutions Partner status in Modern Work, Security, and Data & AI, along with advanced specializations in Microsoft Copilot, Build AI Apps, and Data Security.

“Over the past year, we’ve built a model focused on execution, co-investment, and real outcomes,” said Alex Larsson, Chief Revenue Officer at ALIANDO. “From Copilot to Data & AI platforms, we’re helping organizations move faster and make smarter decisions with Microsoft technologies.”

A Year of Momentum on the Microsoft Platform

ALIANDO launched one year ago with a clear vision: organizations needed a partner that could move at the speed of Microsoft innovation while delivering practical, measurable results.

Over the past twelve months, ALIANDO has:

  • Achieved Solutions Partner designations across Modern Work, Security, and Data & AI
  • Expanded capabilities in Microsoft Copilot, AI application development, and data security
  • Built a Copilot Takeoff practice to accelerate adoption of Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI-driven productivity
  • Supported clients in evaluating and transitioning to Microsoft 365 E7 and next-generation AI-enabled work environments
  • Expanded its global presence across North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia
  • Strengthened its co-investment engagement with Microsoft across large-scale customer initiatives
  • Modernize data platforms
  • Establish Microsoft Fabric as an analytics foundation
  • Build AI-ready environments powered by Azure AI capabilities
  • Reduced cloud spends through optimized resource allocation
  • Improved visibility and governance across cloud environments
  • Secured Microsoft funding to accelerate transformation
  • Positioned the organization for future Copilot and AI-driven productivity
  • Expanding its global client base
  • Scaling AI and data platform engagements
  • Continuing to drive Microsoft co-investment into customer program

Unlocking Microsoft Funding as a Differentiator

A defining capability in ALIANDO’s first year has been its ability to help clients access and maximise Microsoft co-investment programs — an area where many organizations underutilize available funding.

Through structured engagements leveraging programs such as ECIF and Azure-based co-investment, ALIANDO enables clients to:

“The funding opportunities available through Microsoft can significantly accelerate transformation,” Larsson added. “We help clients access those programs, reduce upfront investment, and achieve faster time-to-value.”

Customer Impact: From Cost Optimization to AI Readiness

ALIANDO’s impact is best seen through its client outcomes.

In a recent engagement, a global organization facing rising cloud costs and limited visibility partnered with ALIANDO to improve efficiency while setting the foundation for AI adoption.

Challenge:
Escalating cloud spends and underutilized resources, with no clear path to modern data and AI capabilities.

Solution:
ALIANDO implemented a comprehensive cost optimization framework using Microsoft-native tools, enhanced monitoring, and governance strategies, while aligning the client to Microsoft-supported funding programs. This included initiating a Microsoft Fabric deployment and planning for AI-enabled workloads.

Impact:

This approach reflects ALIANDO’s model: optimize costs, unlock funding, and accelerate AI adoption.

ALIANDO CTO, Chris Savage stated, “In just one year, we’ve proven that a focused, execution-led model can drive meaningful results for customers at global scale. By combining Microsoft technology with strong delivery and funding alignment, we’re helping organisations accelerate transformation while managing complexity. We’re just getting started.”

Preparing for the Next Phase of Enterprise AI

With the evolution of Microsoft’s enterprise offerings, including Microsoft 365 E7, organizations are entering a new phase where AI, governance, and productivity tools converge.

ALIANDO’s Copilot Takeoff program is designed to help organizations move from licensing to measurable outcomes — ensuring AI adoption is secure, governed, and aligned with business goals from day one.

What Comes Next

As ALIANDO enters its second year, the company is focused on:

“Year one was about building a strong foundation — a global brand, a proven delivery model, and real customer impact,” said Alex Larsson. “Year two is about scaling that success and helping more organizations unlock the full value of the Microsoft platform.”
