Xebia has been named a Microsoft Fabric Featured Partner, a status Microsoft reserves for a select group of partners worldwide with a demonstrated, proven track record of delivering Microsoft Fabric projects and implementing the governed data foundation that agentic AI systems depend on. At the same time, Xebia has achieved the Analytics on Microsoft Azure Specialization, Microsoft's advanced designation for partners with independently validated expertise across the Azure data and analytics stack.

Together, the two recognitions confirm what Xebia's clients have experienced across projects: deep, current expertise in data, analytics, and the Microsoft platform, now backed by Microsoft's own validation of that work.

For clients, the two recognitions translate into:

  • Confirmed expertise and a proven track record with Microsoft Fabric and Azure data & analytics solutions
  • Direct access to best practices and the latest innovations from within the Microsoft ecosystem
  • Added assurance that projects are delivered by a partner that meets Microsoft's highest quality standards
  • Faster progress toward data and AI goals, through deep technical knowledge and close collaboration with Microsoft

This recognition sits squarely inside our AI-first strategy. Data is the foundation everything else gets built on, and Fabric Featured Partner status confirms our teams can deliver that foundation aligned with our clients ambitions. It strengthens the core of our agentic services portfolio and gives us a stronger platform to build agentic solutions on top of.

The recognitions extend a partnership between Xebia and Microsoft that spans cloud, data, and AI. As Microsoft Fabric has become the centerpiece of many customers' modern data platforms. Xebia's teams have worked alongside them to migrate, govern, and scale their data estates to build the layer their agentic AI systems increasingly rely on for trusted, permission-aware data.

Both recognitions show how closely our roadmap tracks Microsoft's. Fabric is central to where Microsoft is taking data and analytics, and this status reflects a partnership built over many years, not a one-off certification. It's a strong signal to customers and to Microsoft sellers that Xebia is where they should turn for Fabric and Azure analytics work.

The achievement also builds on Xebia's broader Microsoft AI Transformation Partner status and its work helping enterprises turn AI into an operating capability rather than a series of pilots — the subject of Xebia's recent article on Microsoft's Frontier Company initiative.
