Most engineering software gets evaluated twice: once on whether it does the job, and once on whether it can clear procurement. For engineering teams and EPC firms that have already standardized their infrastructure and vendor relationships on Microsoft Azure, the second evaluation is often the slower one, and it rarely has anything to do with the product itself.
Tagsight is now a member of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. The program connects independent software vendors into Microsoft's cloud and AI ecosystem: closer alignment with how Microsoft customers evaluate and adopt software, and a more direct line into Microsoft's own partner infrastructure.
For a plant or EPC firm running its vendor relationships through Microsoft, this is a small but real reduction in friction. It does not replace a security review, and it is not a new way to buy Tagsight today, but it is one more familiar reference point when a procurement team is deciding whether a new engineering tool belongs on their approved list.
We built Tagsight because the instrument index, I/O list, and tag register that a project runs on still get rebuilt from a drawing set by hand, on every revision. Getting that into more engineering teams' hands means clearing the vendor gate as cleanly as clearing the technical one. This is one step in that direction, and we expect more to follow as the relationship develops, including on how Tagsight can be evaluated and purchased through Microsoft's ecosystem directly.
If your organization's procurement runs through Microsoft and you want to talk through what that looks like for Tagsight specifically, contact us or start with the security page for the full posture and what is available on request.
