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
True if a Microsoft or Morgan Stanley press release or news coverage shows that on or around 2021-06-02 the two companies announced a partnership under which Morgan Stanley would use Microsoft Azure to support its digital transformation. Mostly true if such a partnership was announced but the date differs by a few days, or a minor detail differs (for example, the stated scope). Mostly false if there was a relationship involving Azure but no partnership announcement of this kind. False if no such partnership was announced, for example if the announcement was by a different company or was for a different cloud provider.

E1 Morgan Stanley Expands Use of Cloud in Tech Modernization Dow Jones Newswires (via MarketScreener) · 2 June 2021
“The partnership, which builds on several technology projects that began about two years ago, was announced jointly Wednesday.”

E2 Morgan Stanley Expands Use of Cloud in Tech Modernization Dow Jones Newswires (via MarketScreener) · 2 June 2021
“Morgan Stanley is shifting some of its core workloads to Microsoft Corp.'s Azure cloud platform as part of a move to accelerate the modernization of its information technology environment.”
Reasoning
A Dow Jones Newswires report dated 2021-06-02 says the partnership was announced jointly on Wednesday, which matches the claim date (E1). The same report says Morgan Stanley is moving core workloads to Microsoft's Azure cloud platform to speed up the modernization of its IT environment (E2). That is in substance the Azure-backed digital transformation described in the claim, so the resolution criteria for true are met.
