OneStream, the AI operating system for modern Finance that unifies core financial and operational processes, embedding the governance, context, and control required to make AI work for Finance, and Microsoft announced a significant expansion of its strategic partnership. The companies have committed to investing over the next three years to scale and advance AI infrastructure and accelerate the adoption and value of artificial intelligence within the Office of the CFO.
This expanded investment builds on the long-standing collaboration between the two firms, combining OneStream’s financially intelligent AI capabilities with Microsoft Foundry and Azure cloud and AI infrastructure.

The partnership commitment will focus on three core pillars:
- Advancing AI Infrastructure: Scaling Azure-based infrastructure to support the high-performance computing requirements of OneStream’s SensibleAI™ quantitative AI forecasting, generative AI algorithms, and AI agents, purpose-built for Finance teams.
- Joint Innovation: Developing new AI-driven use cases and solutions that integrate with Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft 365 to streamline financial research, planning, reporting, and analysis.
- Global Adoption Programs: Executing global go-to-market initiatives to help enterprise customers transition from legacy systems to AI-powered finance workflows.

Together, we are providing the Office of the CFO with a unified, AI-first platform that turns data into a strategic asset, enabling finance leaders to accelerate innovation and drive sustainable business value across the enterprise.”

This will allow finance professionals to run sophisticated forecasts, perform anomaly detection, and conduct natural language queries on financial data within the Microsoft environments where they do their day-to-day work.
