Microsoft Foundry
Unified projects, models, agents, tools, evaluation, tracing and enterprise controls — formerly Azure AI Foundry and Azure AI Studio.
Microsoft Azure · Foundry · Enterprise AI
Turn Microsoft Foundry into a governed AI delivery platform.
Numezis designs and implements enterprise AI on Azure — from the platform formerly known as Azure AI Foundry to Foundry Agent Service, Azure OpenAI, AI Search, Microsoft Fabric and Microsoft 365 integration. We connect the cloud control plane to real workflows, evidence and accountable operations.

Decision thesis
A Foundry project is easy to create. The enterprise decision is how models, agents, data, identities and actions share authority across Azure and Microsoft 365 without creating a second unmanaged control plane.
Product landscape
One Microsoft ecosystem. Several distinct operating surfaces.
We select and connect the parts that the workflow requires, instead of treating the Microsoft catalog as a default architecture.
Foundry Agent Service
Hosted agents, tools, knowledge and orchestration designed with explicit identity, memory, approval and observability boundaries.
Azure OpenAI & AI Search
Model access and grounded retrieval integrated with Azure networking, RBAC, private data and application services.
Fabric · Microsoft 365 · Copilot Studio
Business data and employee workflows connected only where permissions, lineage and human accountability remain visible.
What we deliver
From Azure landing zone to a production AI operating model.
Our senior advisory and engineering team owns the decisions that sit between cloud architecture, application delivery, security and measurable adoption.
01
Foundry readiness & architecture
Map subscriptions, regions, networking, data classes, projects, model access and workload boundaries.
TARGET ARCHITECTURE · DECISION RECORD02
Agent & knowledge engineering
Build agents with tools, Azure AI Search or Foundry IQ knowledge, memory and deterministic workflow services.
AGENT SYSTEM · EVALUATION SET03
Security & control plane
Implement Entra ID, managed identities, RBAC, private endpoints, Key Vault, policy, logging and incident paths.
CONTROL BASELINE · THREAT MODEL04
Production & value
Instrument quality, traces, latency, token economics, human review and workflow outcomes before scaling.
SLO · VALUE DASHBOARD · SCALE GATESArchitecture-first
Foundry belongs inside the Azure trust architecture.
The platform becomes dependable when project isolation, identity, network paths and operational evidence are designed as one system.
Entra identity
Human and workload identities, managed identity, least privilege and separation of duties.
Network & data
Private connectivity, residency, encryption, source permissions and controlled egress.
Agent authority
Tools, MCP and APIs with scoped credentials, approval gates and reversible actions.
Operate
Evaluation, tracing, monitoring, cost allocation, release gates and incident ownership.
Engagement output
An Azure AI platform your teams can build on — and your control functions can approve.
The output is a deployable system and an operating baseline, not a cloud product shortlist.

FAQ / Microsoft Foundry
Microsoft Foundry consulting: the decisions leaders ask us to clarify.
01Is Azure AI Foundry now Microsoft Foundry?+
Yes. Microsoft now uses Microsoft Foundry for the platform previously branded Azure AI Studio and Azure AI Foundry. We retain the former names in discovery and migration language because existing resources, teams and searches still use them.
02Do you also integrate Microsoft 365 and Copilot Studio?+
Yes, when the workflow requires them. We separate employee productivity, custom agent and application-platform decisions, then design the identity, data and governance connections between Microsoft 365, Copilot Studio, Fabric and Azure.
03Is Numezis an official Microsoft partner?+
This page describes implementation expertise, not an announced partnership or certification. Any formal relationship is stated only after public confirmation by the provider.
