ASX-listed New York software company LiveTiles has signed a new deal with Microsoft which will see it run an accelerator program to increase the artificial intelligence capabilities of Microsoft partner firms across Australia, in a move that further tightens its lucrative association with the tech giant.

LiveTiles is led by its expat Melburnian co-founder Karl Redenbach and listed on the ASX in 2015. It is one of the fastest-growing Australian software companies, making its money from subscriptions to services based on Microsoft platforms which are used by customers to create dashboards, employee portals and corporate intranets that can be enhanced by AI and analytics features.
