Simform Invests $3 Million To Scale Microsoft Cloud And AI Practice

By Amit Chowdhry • Today at 9:20 AM

Simform has announced a $3 million strategic investment to expand its Microsoft Cloud and AI practice, deepen its Azure engineering capabilities, accelerate IP-led delivery, and scale co-sell collaboration across key global markets.

The investment strengthens Simform’s partnership with Microsoft and builds on its momentum as a multi-specialized Microsoft Solutions Partner. The company currently offers nine advanced specializations and more than 325 certifications, with plans to double both by the end of the next fiscal year.

Simform said the funding will enhance its Cloud and AI engineering depth, shorten time-to-value through proprietary IP and accelerators, and expand go-to-market collaboration and co-selling programs with Microsoft.

The company, which specializes in product and platform engineering, is extending its “Engineering DNA” approach to Microsoft solutioning. Its Lab and Innovation team has developed a suite of platform accelerators designed to improve speed and repeatability. These include Neuvantage for AI-powered application modernization and TrueMorph for AI-powered data platform modernization. Additional accelerators such as Data360 and MedNoteDx, along with more than 10 other industry-specific solutions, target use cases across financial services, healthcare, supply chain, and retail.

Simform holds Microsoft Solutions Partner designations across Digital & App Innovation, Data & AI, Infrastructure, and Security. It has also met qualification requirements for Azure Expert MSP and expects to attain the designation by March 2026 following a scheduled audit.

The company was recently named a Microsoft Fabric Featured Partner, recognizing its capability in building AI-ready, unified data estates on Fabric. The designation aligns with Microsoft’s broader data and AI strategy and highlights Simform’s experience in modernizing analytics environments with governance and scale.

Simform also participated as a sponsor and exhibitor at Microsoft Ignite 2025, where its team engaged with engineering and IT leaders on scalable AI platform practices, AI-powered legacy modernization, and building governed, AI-ready data foundations. The company noted a growing emphasis on agentic enterprise models, centralized AI lifecycle tooling, observability, and security-first approaches to scaling AI deployments.

Looking ahead to Microsoft’s fiscal year 2026, Simform plans to deliver more than 30 transformations spanning infrastructure, applications, data, and AI, while building at least five additional accelerators aligned with Microsoft solutions. The company has also established dedicated alliance and sales teams to expand co-sell efforts in North America, the UK and Ireland, and Western Europe.

Simform said its sales enablement and pipeline engine are aligned with Microsoft’s sales model, leveraging accelerator-driven offerings and the MCEM framework to simplify value articulation and accelerate opportunity conversion within Microsoft’s customer base.

With the new investment and expanded alignment with Microsoft’s cloud and AI roadmap, Simform aims to further position itself as an engineering partner for enterprises transitioning from AI experimentation to scaled, production-grade deployments.

KEY QUOTES

“This investment is about scaling what we know works: Engineering DNA, focused solution plays and repeatable motions. Microsoft Azure has a clear edge for IaaS/PaaS offering for deploying AI apps, Data Platform and Security. We are pairing our Microsoft Cloud & AI expertise on Azure with our product & platform engineering strength to deliver excellence for ISVs, digital natives and highly tech-powered mid-market enterprises.”

Prayaag Kasundra, CEO, Simform

“The kind of Azure engineering that drives real impact is built on habits. Architecture reviews that don’t get skipped. Teams that don’t ship and vanish. Environments that don’t break under usage patterns no one planned for. That’s the engineering maturity we’ve been building quietly at Simform. This investment helps us push it further, across every domain we work in, and every Microsoft engagement we walk into.”

Hiren Dhaduk, CTO, Simform

“We’ve built a Sales enablement program and pipeline engine aligned with how Microsoft sells. Our accelerator-driven offerings reduce the friction in the sales cycles and allow us to differentiate within the competitive partner ecosystem. While our dedicated sales/solutions team leverages the MCEM model, we work closely with Microsoft sellers to simplify value articulation and accelerate opportunities within their customer base.”
