Imagine a world where the heart of technology beats in every corner, the cloud’s security umbrella spreads wide and accessibility is as universal as air.

This is the world that Guido Govers (pictured), strategic account director of ISV and high-tech partnerships at Microsoft Corp., envisions. Offering a secure cloud that’s accessible to developers far and wide is dependent on Microsoft being present everywhere, being representative in every industry and making the platform accessible to every developer.

“I think Microsoft’s strength is around making sure we’re available everywhere,” he said. “Our benefit and advantage over many of our competitors is that we’re the most secure cloud.”

Govers spoke with theCUBE industry analyst John Furrier at the MongoDB .local NYC event, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed Microsoft and MongoDB’s shared focus on developer experience and integration of tools and services. (* Disclosure below.)

Toward a developer-centric world: The partnership of tech giants

Microsoft partners with MongoDB Inc., and both companies share a common mission — to create a developer-centric world. They’re working toward making their technological arsenal easily and meaningfully accessible to all, just like a toolbox that’s always within an arm’s reach.

As cutting-edge technology gets interwoven into the fabric of technology, artificial intelligence is a leading influence. Govers believes AI tech has a critical role in assisting developers in finding the content they need and focusing on their core business.

“Even the idea of Copilot; from that perspective, leveraging OpenAI and generative AI everywhere on every level,” he stated. “It’s not just on the office side of the house, but it’s also on the developer experience. How can you make it easier for developers to find the content they need? No one wants to look anymore for that little tidbit of information when you can just get that generated and focus on the actual core business.”

Govers tipped his hat to MongoDB for its unwavering commitment to developers, its drive to unify its distributed system and its belief in the power of the open-source movement.

“Developers have to keep up, and they need easier and fast to do that,” he said.

This shared appreciation for the open-source ethos and dedication to developers is driving the deep integration between MongoDB and Microsoft Azure. And as technology becomes more sophisticated, it’s clear that the most successful solutions will be those that prioritize the needs and experiences of developers.
