IT services firm Tech Mahindra has joined forces with Microsoft to launch a dedicated business unit to offer enterprise cloud services globally.
The unit will house a centre of excellence to provide a suite of solutions across the Microsoft Azure cloud, business applications (Dynamics 365) and “modern work” (Microsoft 365). The unit will will bring together a talent pool of more than 2,500 professionals to meet the needs of around 900 customers globally.
It will provide a platform for teams across competencies, industries and go-to-market strategies to collaborate and enable digital transformation for customers. Tech Mahindra is already an Azure Networking partner focused on working towards “unlocking” new 5G use cases with Azure Edge.
Gavriella Schuster (pictured), corporate vice president for One Commercial Partner at Microsoft, said: “Organisations across industries are re-imagining their futures and Tech Mahindra’s new Microsoft Business Unit will deliver unique solutions and services to customers around the world. This expanded relationship with Microsoft will empower organisations and accelerate their digital transformation.”
Harshul Asnani, SVP and global head of technology business at Tech Mahindra, said: “Our consulting services combined with the prowess of Microsoft will drive innovative and new age solutions for our customers. Together with Microsoft we are winning significant deals across enterprises.
“The formation of a dedicated Microsoft business unit is a strategic step to further cement the strong relationship we enjoy.”
Earlier this year, Tech Mahindra rival NTT Data said it would jointly pursue strategic business with Microsoft as part of a multi-year alliance. Again, it will focus on accelerating enterprise customers’ digital transformation with Microsoft Azure as a preferred cloud solution.
