Bayer (OTCPK:BAYRY) (OTCPK:BAYZF) said on Tuesday that, in collaboration with Microsoft (MSFT), it has launched new cloud-based enterprise solutions for the agri-food industry.
Bayer noted that its AgPowered Services in combination with Microsoft Azure Data Manager for Agriculture provide ready-to-use capabilities for businesses to license and use for their own internal or customer-facing digital solutions.

An initial preview was started for customers to explore both the Azure Data Manager and AgPowered Services. However, date for full commercial availability would be provided later, the companies added.
"Customers can use the infrastructure and capabilities to build their own digital solutions and products on top of the most robust collection of ag data in the world," said Robert Reiter, head of R&D for Bayer's Crop Science Division.
The two companies had announced a strategic partnership in 2021.
