Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping how we live and work. According to the Microsoft Work Trend Index, 82% of leaders are confident they will use digital labor to expand workforce capacity within the next 12–18 months. AI is no longer just about pilot projects—it is becoming the foundation for enterprise-wide transformation.

For organizations delivering AI-powered solutions and services, this is the moment to lead. Microsoft partners who can build and scale AI apps and agents are defining the future of this dynamic market. Research by IDC shows that partners with mature Microsoft AI practices outperform others in overall gross margin, 36% vs. 30%.

Microsoft Foundry: Your AI App and Agent Factory

At Microsoft Ignite, Microsoft introduced Foundry, a modular, interoperable, and secure agent stack that unifies models, tools, and knowledge into one open system. Foundry provides developers with a trusted path to production for AI apps and agents.

Key enhancements include:

• Foundry Models: Expanded with Anthropic, Cohere, NVIDIA, and more. Model Router is now generally available.
• Foundry IQ: Powered by Azure AI Search, enabling agents to connect seamlessly to enterprise and public data sources such as SharePoint, Fabric IQ, and the web.
• Foundry Agent Service: Supports Hosted Agents, multi-agent workflows, built-in memory, and direct deployment into Microsoft 365.
• Foundry Tools: Secure, real-time access to business systems and multimodal capabilities.
• Foundry Control Plane: Centralized identity, policy, observability, and security management.
• Security Integration: GitHub Advanced Security and Microsoft Defender for end-to-end protection.
• Foundry Local: Private preview on Android, enabling local agent deployment.
• Managed Instance on Azure App Service: Simplifies cloud migration with minimal configuration.

Together, Foundry IQ and Fabric IQ organize enterprise data around business concepts rather than tables, allowing agents to understand user intent and deliver meaningful insights.

Scaling AI with Microsoft Agent Factory

To help organizations move from experimentation to execution, Microsoft introduced the Agent Factory program. Its foundation, the Pre-Purchase Plan (P3), streamlines procurement by offering access to 32 Microsoft services through one flexible pool of funds. This reduces licensing complexity and provides predictable investment in AI innovation.
