Accenture and Microsoft extended their strategic partnership with the presentation of the Accenture Hybrid Cloud Solution for Microsoft Azure, a hybrid cloud platform designed to bring new capabilities, cost savings and innovation. With this milestone and working with Avanade, Microsoft's leading solutions provider, the companies funded and engineered the innovative platform with new technologies and hybrid services to help companies build and manage infrastructure and applications in the cloud.
This is the largest collaboration agreement between Accenture and Microsoft since 2000, when the companies launched Avanade, a company with more than 22,000 employees and more than US$ 2 billion in global sales.
"Expanding our relationship with Microsoft represents a game-changing proposition that addresses the biggest concerns and complexities facing our customers and the way they look at leveraging the cloud. This unique collaboration between Microsoft and Avanade is one of Accenture's most strategic and important initiatives for enterprise-wide cloud adoption,” explains Pierre Nanterme, Chairman and CEO of Accenture.
"Enterprises around the world are looking for the right platforms and partners to help them transform and thrive in an increasingly mobile and cloud environment," said Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft Corp. "The Microsoft Cloud, combined with Accenture's industry knowledge and deployment expertise, accelerates our customers' cloud adoption and unlocks new benefits, including powerful applications, data-driven insights and increased productivity" , ends.
The Accenture Hybrid Cloud Solution for Microsoft Azure offers new technologies to migrate and manage applications between private and public clouds and are on a seamless, automated, controlled, on-demand path and deliver speed from a single console.
The solution is already being tested at Freeport-McMoRan, an international natural resources company, which creates prototypes to improve the internet of things in mining operations. The platform will enable operations supervisors to analyze and react to nearby situations in real time at the mine, allowing them to take immediate action on items that impact production, which ultimately drives revenue.
