The Companion Program

One trusted data layer. Every ecosystem your enterprise depends on.

Smart Stack 3.0 is the Microsoft Companion. The Companion Program extends that same trusted data layer into Snowflake, Salesforce, Google, Databricks, and ServiceNow. Govern the data once, inside your Microsoft tenant, and activate it everywhere it creates value.

One trusted data layer. Every ecosystem.

The Architectural Truth

Microsoft is where enterprise data lives. Exchange, M365, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Windows File Shares are the source. Every other ecosystem your enterprise depends on is downstream of that data.

Smart Stack 3.0 governs the Microsoft data estate at the source. The Trusted Data Toolkit captures communications, classifies the file estate, and orchestrates AI activation, all inside the customer tenant.

Once Trusted Data Collections exist, the Companion Program projects them into every ecosystem that needs them. With provenance, classification, and chain of custody intact.

Built for the executives who own the data estate

For the CDO

Every AI initiative the organization delivers depends on the Microsoft data estate. The Companion Program is how the CDO delivers AI transformation across every ecosystem on a single governed foundation.

For the CIO

Multi-ecosystem complexity is the operating reality. The Companion Program reduces that complexity to one governance layer beneath all of it.

For the CISO

Every ecosystem the enterprise activates is a new exposure surface unless the data is governed before it leaves the tenant. The Companion Program makes the Microsoft tenant the security boundary for the entire data estate.

How the Companion Program Works

Smart Stack 3.0 governs the Microsoft data estate inside the customer tenant.

Trusted Data Collections are produced once, with provenance metadata embedded in every record.

OneLake mirrors the Trusted Data Collections.

Each Companion ecosystem consumes from OneLake using its native ingestion path.

The Microsoft tenant remains the system of record. The Companion ecosystems become governed activation surfaces.

Why a Companion Model

Enterprise data does not live in one ecosystem. It lives in Microsoft and gets activated everywhere else. The Companion Program is the only architecture that governs the data at the source and lets the customer choose the activation surface.

Microsoft keeps the source. The Companion ecosystems get a higher-quality data feed. The customer keeps a single, defensible source of truth.

One trusted data layer. Every ecosystem.
