🤝 Microsoft x ANS: A Frontier‑Firm‑Level Partnership 🤝

Ahead of ANS being named the 2025 UK Microsoft Partner of the Year, our CEO Richard Thompson sat down with Darren Hardman, CEO of Microsoft UK & Ireland, to talk about what truly defines our partnership.

Being recognised by Microsoft as a Frontier Firm isn’t just a badge — it’s a reflection of how deeply AI, data and automation are embedded into the way we operate.

From transforming our internal processes to helping customers deliver real‑world innovation, this mindset is shaping everything we do.

One example? The AI image‑recognition tool we built with Manchester City Council — enabling the city to automatically categorise potholes from public submissions and speed up response times.

That’s Frontier‑Firm thinking: practical AI, solving real problems, at scale.

To our colleagues, collaborators and friends at Microsoft — thank you. Our shared ambition, alignment and experimentation are exactly what allow us to push boundaries together.

Or, as Darren perfectly put it:
“Together, we’re not just driving innovation — we’re shaping the future.”

Have you gone all-in on AI? One in four organisations has.

More and more businesses are moving from just dipping their toe in the AI waters to fully taking the plunge.

Do you want to be the only who hasn't?

The first step is AI Readiness - getting the foundations in place across Cloud, Data, Security and Digital to facilitate AI success.

Step two is AI Realisation - demonstrating the value of AI and embedding it across your organisation.

The final step is becoming a Frontier Firm - an organisation where human employees oversee teams of AI agents that securely, accurately and independently.

If you haven't gone all-in on AI yet, now's the time. Start your journey today by following the link in the comments.

🎉 Today, everyone at ANS is wishing our good friends at Microsoft Microsoft a happy 50th anniversary! 🎉

Few businesses can claim to have made as big an impact - not just on the tech industry, but on how we all live and work.

It's a journey that shows no signs of slowing down, as Microsoft spearheads the next generation of technological innovation with its commitment to AI. We're proud and excited to join them on that journey.

As a proud for many years, it's tough to pick a single memory that encapsulates the strength of our partnership. But we couldn't mark this incredible milestone without mentioning when Microsoft crowned ANS its UK Services Partner of the Year 2024.

It's a testament to the success we've jointly delivered for customers, success that has been built on shared values and a common desire to drive change for organisations big and small.

It's safe to say that we're looking forward to what lies ahead for us both in the next 50 years.

Cheers, Microsoft 🥂
