New York, London, Munich, Dubai — June 12, 2025 — DataArt, a global software engineering firm specializing in data, analytics, and AI, celebrates 25 years of partnership with Microsoft and announces its latest achievement: earning the Advanced Specialization in AI Platform on Microsoft Azure.
Alla Lemlekh, Senior Vice President, Business Development, at DataArt, said:
“Reaching the 25-year mark with Microsoft reflects the kind of partnership that’s built on trust and shared ambition.
It’s never just been about technology. We’ve always focused on helping our clients move forward. Whether it’s secure infrastructure, practical AI, or better use of data, we’re here to turn ideas into lasting results.”
25 Years of Collaboration Measured in Results
The partnership began in 2000, when DataArt joined the Microsoft Partner Network. That same year, the company was selected as one of 40 global participants in the Microsoft .NET Early Adopter Program, gaining early access to tools and resources for the Microsoft .NET framework. In 2002, DataArt’s logo appeared behind Bill Gates during the launch of Visual Studio .NET at the VSLive! Conference in San Francisco, an early sign of the company’s alignment with Microsoft’s platform strategy.
Over the following decades, DataArt earned and maintained Microsoft Gold Partner status, achieving 12 Gold and Silver competencies. Since 2022, under Microsoft’s new partner program, DataArt has been recognized as a Solutions Partner with four key Azure designations: Data & AI, Infrastructure, Digital & App Innovation, and Security.
DataArt has also built a strong presence across Microsoft platforms, with co-sell-ready offerings listed in Azure Marketplace, AppSource, and the Industry Solutions Directory. In March 2025, the two companies hosted a joint in-person event at the Microsoft Innovation Hub in New York, bringing together healthcare decision-makers to discuss the strategic use of Data & AI in the sector.
Advanced Specialization in AI Platform
In June 2025, DataArt earned the Microsoft Advanced Specialization in AI Platform. This designation is awarded to partners who meet Microsoft’s highest standards for technical capabilities, delivery consistency, and demonstrated success in implementing AI solutions on Azure.
The specialization confirms DataArt’s deep technical expertise in Azure-based AI and a strong track record of delivering real-world solutions that create measurable impact. It also reflects an ongoing commitment to meeting Microsoft’s highest standards for quality and performance. As a result, clients may benefit from access to Microsoft-backed funding programs, which can help fast-track AI adoption and reduce financial barriers during early project stages.
