Tech Mahindra has become the Microsoft Azure Expert MSP by successfully finishing the audit. Tech Mahindra met Microsoft’s prerequisites for the program and underwent a stringent third-party audit process that validated its Azure competency and expertise. As an Azure Expert MSP, Tech Mahindra has proven its holistic array of Azure services including Infrastructure, Application migration expertise and the skillset required to digitally transform customers through proactive automation and consultative intervention in managing their Azure ecosystems.

Tech Mahindra had recently made the official announcement of their dedicated Microsoft Business Unit. The Azure expert MSP certification solidifies the partnership with Microsoft even further and empowers the COE’s 2500 professionals to deliver value to more than 900 customers across the globe.

On September 3, 2020, Tech Mahindra launched its dedicated ‘Microsoft Business Unit’ which will focus on developing enterprise cloud solutions leveraging Microsoft platforms and technologies to meet the dynamic needs of customers worldwide.

Gavriella Schuster, Corporate Vice President, One Commercial Partner at Microsoft Corporation, said, “Organizations across industries are reimagining their futures, and Tech Mahindra’s new Microsoft Business Unit will deliver unique solutions and services, based on Microsoft platforms and technologies, to customers around the world. Tech Mahindra’s expanded relationship with Microsoft will empower organizations and accelerate their digital transformation.”

The new business unit will leverage Tech Mahindra’s digital expertise across industries and will bring together a talent pool of more than 2500 professionals to meet the needs of approximately 900 customers globally. This unit will provide a platform for teams across competencies, industries and go-to-market strategies to collaborate and enable digital transformation for customers.

Celcom, a leading telecommunication network in Malaysia, decided to go digital with Microsoft Azure and transform its operations. To accelerate and streamline its cloud operations, Celcom chose Tech Mahindra as its system integration partner, given the latter's proven ability in the domain.

Tech Mahindra applied agile methodology to discover, analyze, migrate, and go live and delivered the desired results with no disruption to selected workloads.

"Tech Mahindra was our accelerator. They know the bits and bogs, and provided support in connecting and configuring our systems. They jump-started our journey into the cloud," said Calvin Yau, IT Strategist at Celcom.

Leveraging daily guidance from the Azure FastTrack team and Tech Mahindra, Celcom was able to achieve an impressive cost advantage and set up an agile framework to meet future business needs. It only took Celcom two months from being a beginner in the cloud to leaders in the Axiata Group around cloud adoption.
