UiPath, the leading enterprise Robotic Process Automation (RPA) platform, today announced that it has earned co-sell ready status through the Microsoft One Commercial Partner Program. Building on its status as a Microsoft Gold Application Development Competency partner, UiPath now joins an elite group of global independent software vendors selected by Microsoft for intensive joint sales, support and go-to-market initiatives.

UiPath will work directly with Microsoft’s global sales force to accelerate adoption of RPA solutions that leverage the power of Microsoft Azure. The company will also collaborate with Microsoft sales teams and partners on targeted customer opportunities to offer a new era of Intelligent RPA, including machine learning and cognitive services. Customers will be able to deploy their RPA solutions on Azure or in a hybrid cloud/on-premise model.

David Marcus, VP for Product Technology Alliances, UiPath, said:

UiPath’s achievement of co-sell ready status strengthens a relationship going back many years and creates significant value for customers heavily invested in existing and new Microsoft technologies. We look forward to collaborating more with the Microsoft sales team to help organisations reduce costs, remove risks and drive efficiencies.

Microsoft initiated co-sell ready status in 2016 to provide comprehensive sales and marketing support for select partners. To be eligible, businesses must submit customer references that demonstrate successful projects, meet a performance commitment and pass technology and sales assessments.

Arpan Shah, General Manager, Azure Product Marketing, said:

We are pleased to have UiPath be an Azure partner and jointly deliver innovation and value to our customers and channel partners.
