Insight Enterprises has entered into a new global agreement with Microsoft that includes a multi-year Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment and a new strategic partnership framework, set to drive Insight’s transformation to solutions integration and cloud offerings for clients.

Insight, which delivers billions of dollars annually in Microsoft-related sales, will further propel its work with Microsoft to provide cutting-edge digital solutions and managed services built on Azure and Microsoft 365 for clients worldwide. Insight uses Microsoft's advanced technologies to develop highly scalable and secure cloud solutions, helping businesses harness the full potential of their data to drive actionable insights and unlock new growth opportunities.

“We have worked with Microsoft for more than 25 years to provide clients with world-class technology,” said Joyce Mullen, CEO, Insight. “Our clients worldwide want to run as efficiently as possible, and the Azure platform is core to our expertise in cloud, data, AI, cybersecurity and edge as we address their critical business needs. The power of Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 productivity tools accelerates their ability to digitally transform.”

Insight collaborates with Microsoft to develop AI-powered solutions that can automate complex tasks, enhance productivity and improve decision-making processes. As one of the first partners to publish offers for Microsoft 365 Copilot, Insight ensures a strong foundation for GenAI adoption, including a custom Microsoft 365 Copilot Readiness Fast Start accelerator giving clients a strategic roadmap for Azure OpenAI Service and the Copilotstack.

“Insight has been instrumental in helping accelerate AI adoption and transformation for customers around the world,” said David Smith, vice president, worldwide channel sales, Microsoft. “As leaders across industries seek to keep pace with today’s advancements, they turn to Microsoft and solutions integrators like Insight to innovate on our trusted platform to make their AI strategy a reality. Together with partners like Insight, we are bringing comprehensive industry expertise, scale and copilot capabilities to organizations seeking to transform every role and business function within their industry.”

The new agreement solidifies the growth of Insight’s Azure-based ecommerce platform, serving as an incubation hub for new offerings on Azure Marketplace. Clients in turn will realize streamlined transactions and more competitive products and services aligned to Microsoft from Insight’s ecosystem of more than 6,000 partners.
