NTT DATA recognized by Microsoft for advanced AI expertise

NTT DATA becomes one of the first Microsoft partners worldwide to achieve the Build and Modernize AI Apps with Microsoft Azure valuable advanced specialization proving extensive knowledge in the design of solutions and deployment of projects with Azure Kubernetes Service, Cosmos DB, Red Hat OpenShift, Azure Spring Apps on intelligent solutions deployed using artificial intelligence. This specialization acknowledges NTT DATA's ability to guide its customers in the design, modernization, development, and implementation of solutions using artificial intelligence as the leading technology.  

Particularly, this specialization enables partners with an active Solutions Partner for Data & AI (Azure) or Solutions Partner for Digital & App Innovation (Azure) status to further differentiate their organizations, demonstrate their capabilities, and build stronger connections with customers. Notably, this recognition marks an important milestone for NTT DATA, as Microsoft highlighted that it is the first company in the UK to achieve this recognition.
