Microsoft is partnering with Mars to apply Azure to its business operations and digital transformation.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
Judged as of 2021-05-13. True: an official Microsoft or Mars announcement from around that date states a partnership in which Mars uses Azure for its business operations and digital transformation. Mostly true: the partnership is confirmed but its stated scope differs slightly, for example centred on specific workloads. Mixed: there is a relationship, but it is mainly about other products and not Azure. Mostly false: there was only a vendor relationship and no announced partnership. False: no such partnership existed, or it was denied.

Reasoning
I rated this claim true. Mars's press release dated May 13, 2021 (E1) says Mars and Microsoft announced a new agreement that expands their long-term relationship. Under it, Mars will use the Microsoft Azure platform to accelerate its digital transformation. Microsoft's own announcement from the same day (E2, E3) says the same thing, adding that Azure will help with operational speed and manufacturing supply chains, and that a unified cloud and data foundation will be built across all Mars businesses. That matches the resolution criteria's 'true' condition: an official announcement of a partnership in which Mars uses Azure for its business operations and digital transformation.
