Fifty years ago Bill Gates and Paul Allen started Microsoft with a “simple but powerful idea – to build technology so that people everywhere could build more technology”.

Today that mission holds true, and Acterys is proud to work closely with Microsoft. Our Acterys Planning Intelligence technology is included in Microsoft’s Dynamics offering, empowering the business user with a centralized platform for planning, analysis and financial decision-making.

We’re also heavily engaged in helping empower the Microsoft enterprise community with our Acterys Data Intelligence customizable applications platform. This enables the perfect symbiosis of AI-driven improvements and human oversight, and our software is recognized for its AI-driven forecasting, smart write-back capabilities, and seamless integration with Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Excel, Azure AI, and other enterprise tools.

With our comprehensive smart write-back functionality, Acterys helps Microsoft customers to optimize structured data for AI-driven decision-making. By leveraging tools that most businesses already own, including Power BI and Excel, Acterys unlocks true software innovation for organizations – enhancing IT efficiency while reducing technical complexity.

With the combined power of Acterys and Microsoft, organizations gain a unified platform for Planning Analytics and Data Intelligence that turns data into action. Whether it’s streamlining enterprise planning or building custom applications at scale, the possibilities are virtually limitless. From CFOs to CIOs and other data and technology leaders, teams are using Acterys to go beyond traditional finance use cases and unlock insights that drive smarter, faster decisions across the business.

In celebrating its 50th anniversary, Microsoft’s Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella said: “I’ve always thought of Microsoft as a platform and partner-first company, and this has only been possible because of our customers, our partners and developers, and our 1.6 million employees, past and present, who have connected their passion with our purpose to get us where we are today.”

“At Acterys we believe the future of enterprise solutions lies in adaptability, simplicity and integration. Microsoft Fabric, Power BI and Excel sit at the heart of this – they’re not just tools – they’re your organization’s new UI,” added Mike Zack, Chief Operating Officer at Acterys. “So, huge congratulations to Microsoft as they celebrate their first 50 years – we’re looking forward to taking our partnership even further forward over the coming years.”
