Cloud Accelerate Factory (CAF) is Microsoft’s funded delivery engine that helps customers drive Azure adoption across Applications, Data, Infrastructure, Security, Analytics, and AI-powered Agent Development. By combining Microsoft-funded implementation assistance with AI-driven innovation, CAF reduces implementation risk, shortens time-to-value, and accelerates customer outcomes.
More than a delivery resource, CAF is a differentiated sales motion that gives Microsoft “skin in the game,” helping partners win more deals and drive faster customer success.
Built on three pillars, Innovation, Commercial Offers, and Implementation Assistance, the FY27 Cloud Accelerate Factory + Partner strategy enables partners, customers, and Microsoft to scale workload adoption faster and more effectively.
Factory’s FY27 unified model allows Specialized Partners to leverage both Partner-Led Incentives and Factory delivery support simultaneously, maximizing customer impact and partner growth.
