# Microsoft

A consumer and enterprise software company selling cloud services, productivity suites, AI assistants, gaming platforms, and hardware.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → shaper to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Microsoft defines the cloud and productivity platform infrastructure that Vercel's target buyers build on and position against; its Azure and Copilot offerings set the standard for the AI platform category Vercel competes within.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Microsoft 365 delivers cloud storage, advanced security, and Microsoft Copilot in your favorite apps

> Design, fuel, and operationalize systems that learn and adapt—with Azure
