Carriers and MGAs can now discover and deploy Sixfold directly through Microsoft Marketplace with smooth integration and streamlined management
Now meeting insurers within their existing technology ecosystem. This partnership simplifies integration, streamlines management and reduces implementation timelines. Allowing carriers to leverage their existing Azure commitments to accelerate time-to-value.
Why Microsoft
Our mission at Sixfold has been to make AI adoption in insurance faster and more accessible. A big part of achieving this is meeting insurers where they already are, inside a technology infrastructure they know and trust.
By joining Microsoft Marketplace we’re doing exactly that. This partnership simplifies procurement, streamlines integration and lets insurers apply their existing Azure commitments toward deploying Sixfold. Removing the friction that typically slows adoption in enterprises.
"This collaboration with Microsoft marks a significant milestone in our growth journey. By integrating with the Microsoft Marketplace, we're making Sixfold and our Underwriting AI brain easier to discover and deploy. Insurers can implement our capabilities directly within their existing Azure environment, reducing integration complexity and accelerating time-to-value by streamlining procurement through their established Microsoft relationship."
– Roger Ferrandis, Head of Partnerships at Sixfold
What Changes for Insurers
Until now, adopting Sixfold meant navigating a standalone procurement process with separate contracts, separate timelines, and separate budget approvals. For enterprise insurers, that friction adds weeks and creates unnecessary approval cycles before a single submission gets processed.
With Sixfold on Microsoft Marketplace, that changes. Carriers and MGAs can now:
- Discover and deploy Sixfold directly within their existing Azure environment
- Apply existing Azure cloud commitments toward their Sixfold adoption
- Eliminate redundant approval cycles by consolidating procurement within an established Microsoft relationship
- Move faster from decision to deployment with fewer operational barriers
“We’re pleased to welcome Sixfold to Microsoft Marketplace,” said Cyril Belikoff, vice president, Microsoft Azure Product Marketing. “Marketplace connects trusted solutions from global partners with customers worldwide, making it easy to find and deploy apps that work seamlessly with Microsoft products.”
How to Get Started

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to deploy Sixfold through Microsoft Marketplace?
Deployment timelines are significantly shorter through Microsoft Marketplace than through standalone procurement. Traditional Sixfold adoption requires separate contracts, implementation cycles, and budget approvals each adding weeks to the process. By routing through an existing Azure relationship, insurers eliminate those parallel approval cycles and can simplify the process from procurement to deployment within their established cloud infrastructure.
What's the difference between buying Sixfold directly versus through Microsoft Marketplace?
Purchasing through Microsoft Marketplace lets insurers apply existing Azure cloud commitments to Sixfold, whereas a direct purchase requires a separate budget allocation and procurement cycle. The core AI underwriting functionality is the same either way. The Marketplace route removes the need for additional vendor approval processes and integrates billing within an insurer's existing Microsoft spend, which is a meaningful operational difference for enterprise finance and IT teams.
How much more productive do underwriters become after adopting AI underwriting tools?
Underwriters using Sixfold process up to 50% more submissions without additional manual research or administrative work, according to Sixfold's published performance data. That productivity gain translates to up to 30% more Gross Written Premium (GWP) per underwriter. The efficiency comes from automated submission screening and appetite-aligned insights, freeing underwriters to focus on judgment-intensive decisions and broker relationships.
What compliance and security standards does Sixfold meet for enterprise insurers?
Sixfold's deployment within Microsoft Azure inherits the governance, security, and compliance controls built into the Azure platform, which is designed to meet enterprise and regulated-industry requirements. This matters in insurance because carriers operate under strict data governance obligations. Deploying within an existing Azure environment means compliance postures already approved by IT and legal teams carry over, rather than requiring a separate security review for a new vendor environment.
How do AI underwriting tools handle transparent sourcing of recommendations?
Sixfold provides appetite-aligned insights with transparent, cited sources meaning underwriters can see the reasoning and reference material behind each recommendation, not just an output. This auditability is a specific design requirement in insurance, where underwriting decisions must be defensible to regulators, reinsurers, and internal governance teams.
