Avanade AI Control Tower

AI Control Tower is a flexible, secure, and centralized governance solution that helps organizations get started with AI on Microsoft Azure—or scale existing Azure-based AI investments—with confidence. It provides a single hub to register, assess, and manage AI use cases, tools, risk assessments, and policies across the enterprise, enabling customers to operationalize AI responsibly while accelerating innovation on Azure.

Built on Microsoft Power Platform and designed to integrate seamlessly with Azure AI services and workloads, AI Control Tower establishes the foundational governance, risk, and compliance capabilities required to deploy AI at scale. The solution can be configured and deployed to align with a client’s organizational, regulatory, and technical requirements—typically within a six‑week engagement—and can be optionally supported on an ongoing basis by Avanade.

AI Control Tower enables customers to move from experimentation to production on Azure by creating a consistent, repeatable process for approving and governing AI use cases. It supports both first‑time Azure AI adoption—by providing structure, guardrails, and clarity—and mature AI programs by extending governance across an expanding portfolio of Azure‑based AI solutions, agents, and tools.

By centralizing AI governance, AI Control Tower helps organizations establish a clear policy and control baseline that aligns internal standards, regulatory requirements, and Responsible AI principles. This foundation allows leaders and stakeholders to confidently review, prioritize, and scale AI use cases on Azure while maintaining visibility into risk, compliance, and impact.
