Announcing Microsoft & CARTO Strategic Partnership

Today we are excited to announce a strategic partnership between Microsoft and CARTO to bring cutting-edge Location Intelligence (LI) solutions to the enterprise world.

We are turning to Microsoft Azure cloud technology to power our global Basemaps and Location Data Services offering.

Here at CARTO this marks another important milestone in our company's journey. Microsoft's enterprise reliability and reputation will strengthen our Basemaps and LDS solutions which are already being used by market-leading Business Intelligence and Data Analytics companies such as Alteryx Qlik Pitney Bowes and many others.

Currently CARTO serves more than 100 million mapviews per month globally.

Microsoft and CARTO are strong believers in the power of location data and Location Intelligence to deliver tangible business outcomes and this partnership is an important step in enabling access to LI tools in the enterprise world.
