Icertis Expands Strategic Partnership with Microsoft to Advance AI-Native  Contract Intelligence

Bellevue, WASH. – May 13, 2026 – Icertis, a global leader in AI-native contract intelligence, today announced an expanded strategic partnership with Microsoft to deepen joint innovation and deliver greater customer value in enterprise contracting. Building on nearly two decades of collaboration, the new multi-year agreement embeds Icertis Vera, the company’s purpose-built AI for contracts, into Microsoft’s AI stack, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Fabric, and Microsoft Copilot Studio.

Together, Icertis and Microsoft enable organizations to move past pilot programs toward production-ready AI systems to bring multi-agent orchestration directly into enterprise contracting. By using Microsoft’s advanced AI infrastructure, Icertis centralizes agreements at the core of operations to ground every business decision and autonomous action in the agreements that govern it.

Through a collaborative partnership framework with new commitments on joint global strategy and a shared operating model, Icertis and Microsoft are delivering unified AI experiences designed around three core pillars:

• Agentic AI with Vera embedded in Microsoft 365 Copilot: Icertis will integrate Vera into Microsoft 365 Copilot, enabling legal and business professionals to draft, negotiate, manage obligations, and analyze contracts from within Microsoft 365 applications. By combining Vera’s domain-specific contract intelligence with Microsoft 365 in the enterprise, the partnership brings actionable contract insights and automation to millions of users worldwide.
• Unified Data Intelligence with Microsoft Fabric: Powered by its data lake, Icertis uses Fabric IQ capabilities to bring contract intelligence into the flow of work. Through integration with Fabric IQ and Fabric Data Agents, Vera connects contract logic directly with operational data in Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365 applications, enabling business users to surface predictive insights and prescriptive recommendations from their contract data.
• Contract AI at Enterprise Scale: Vera runs on Microsoft Azure, delivering enterprise- ready security, compliance, and identity controls to protect the most sensitive commercial data. As AI agents scale across the enterprise, the Vera agentic platform utilizes tools like Microsoft Defender AI Security Posture Management to ensure that all contract agents operate within clearly defined guardrails – protecting data privacy and risk-based inventory management.

“Contracts are central to every business relationship, and our collective work with Microsoft means that more enterprises have access to smarter, faster intelligence,” said Nitin Khorana, Executive Vice President, Global Sales, Icertis. “By deeply embedding Icertis Vera with Microsoft’s latest AI stackwe are ensuring that strategy and execution move together. That’s why the Global Fortune 500 relies on the combination of Icertis and Microsoft to turn their agreements into action.”

Icertis and Microsoft continue to deliver measurable outcomes for customers through AI that understands the nuances of business relationships captured in contracts. For example, global packaging leader ALPLA has achieved a 60 percent reduction in external legal spend through AI-driven NDA review; a European telecom company identified $35 million in savings following a merger through supplier contract rationalization efforts; and the Defense Logistics Agency anticipates a 40 percent reduction in contract cycle times through the Icertis Contract Intelligence platform.

“Icertis is a foundational partner in helping customers unlock more value from their contracts,” said Sandy Gupta, Vice President of Global ISV Ecosystem, Microsoft. “By integrating Icertis Contract Intelligence with Microsoft’s AI platform, we’re enabling customers to move faster, operate smarter, and drive meaningful impact.”

Modern business ecosystems depend on contracts because every enterprise transaction is tied to a contract. By embedding Vera deeply within Microsoft’s broader AI stack, Icertis enables organizations to build intelligence and automation into how contracts are created, executed, and managed.
