SQLI obtains the "AI Platform on Microsoft Azure" Specialisation
Paris, 15 July 2025 - SQLI announces the achievement of the "AI Platform on Microsoft Azure" specialisation, an advanced certification awarded by Microsoft. This recognition confirms and strengthens our strategic partnership and validates SQLI's ability to transform AI innovation into tangible operational value for its clients.
A Long-standing Partnership, Already Recognised in Three Key Areas
A Microsoft partner for over 20 years, SQLI is already recognised as a Solution Partner in three strategic areas:
- Data & AI: Helping clients manage and govern their data across multiple systems to build analytics and AI solutions.
- Digital & App Innovation: Modernising existing applications and creating cloud-native applications.
- Modern Work: Helping clients boost their productivity and transition to hybrid work using Microsoft 365.
The achievement of this specialisation complements this positioning by validating specific skills related to the implementation of AI platforms on Microsoft Azure.
Expertise Structured Around Two Foundations
The specialisation obtained by SQLI attests to its ability to intervene on two key levers of AI projects on Azure:
- Adoption of Azure Cloud: Accompanying companies in defining cloud trajectories aligned with business and financial challenges, setting up reproducible, secure, and governed cloud environments, and ensuring efficient operational management.
- Implementation of AI Platforms at Enterprise Scale: Designing robust architectures, carrying out targeted proof of concepts (POCs), industrialising deployments, and ensuring a smooth transition to sustainable operations.
Thanks to this dual expertise, SQLI offers its clients structured, secure AI projects that comply with Microsoft Azure standards, with a measurable impact on their operational performance.
Concrete Benefits for Our Clients' AI Projects
Thanks to this specialisation, SQLI joins the Azure Accelerate programme, set up by Microsoft to support the AI initiatives of its partners and their clients.
This strategic framework allows SQLI to offer its clients a unique acceleration framework that includes:
- Targeted funding to initiate or accelerate AI projects,
- Enhanced technical support from certified SQLI architects, ensuring the robustness and scalability of solutions,
- Optimised testing and deployment cycles, thanks to a validated and industrialised framework.
Companies supported by SQLI thus benefit from an environment conducive to the success of their AI projects, with a partner recognised for its mastery of Microsoft Azure technologies.
"This specialisation is a recognition of the course we chose several years ago: to make Microsoft Azure a foundation of responsible and sustainable innovation for our clients. It reflects our ability to structure, industrialise, but above all to give meaning to technology. I am proud of what we have built together, with rigour, humility, and true passion."
Loïc Declomesnil, Practice Leader Smart Microsoft & AI Offer Leader at SQLI
« The acceleration of innovation requires relying on artificial intelligence experts, especially regarding emerging topics such as agentics.

With SQLI, our clients have a trusted partner to scale up AI and turn innovation into tangible impact. »
