LTIMindtree & Microsoft Partner on Enterprise AI Deployment

Enterprise adoption of AI tools has accelerated since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, yet many corporations struggle to integrate these systems into existing workflows. A recent survey from IBM found that 85% of firms are lagging behind in AI implementation: with data management and investment levels separating leaders from learners..

LTIMindtree, the Mumbai-based technology consulting firm, has announced a partnership with Microsoft to help large companies implement AI systems across their operations.

The partnership will focus on helping corporations move beyond experimental AI projects to deployment at scale. It comes as businesses seek ways to implement AI tools, including large language models and automation systems, across their existing technology infrastructure.

Partnership enables strategic expansion

The collaboration includes joint investment in AI solutions and a combined market strategy. LTIMindtree, which serves more than 700 corporate clients across 30 countries, will integrate Microsoft's AI technologies including Copilot – a suite of AI-powered features that augment Microsoft Office applications – and Azure OpenAI Service, which provides access to AI models through Microsoft's cloud platform.

Julie Sanford, Vice President of Business Management at Microsoft, says: “This partnership with LTIMindtree highlights our dedication to work with partners, to deliver secure AI solutions that empower organisations to transform and thrive.”

The firms will focus on three core technologies. The first is Copilot for Microsoft 365, which integrates AI capabilities into common workplace applications. The second is Microsoft Copilot for Security, a system that automates cyber threat detection and response. The third is Sunshine Migrate, a tool designed to help companies move their data storage systems to cloud platforms.

Technical implementation

LTIMindtree has obtained certifications across Microsoft's six solution areas, spanning infrastructure, business applications, data and AI, digital innovation, workplace systems and security. The company reports that 63 per cent of its workforce has completed AI capability training, with thousands of professionals certified in Microsoft's AI-enabled cloud platforms.

The partnership extends LTIMindtree's existing capabilities in cloud computing and data analytics. The company maintains a network of 12,000 Microsoft-certified professionals and supports more than 200 clients using Microsoft's Azure cloud platform.

Rohit Kedia, Chief Growth Officer at LTIMindtree, says: "Through our strategic alliance with Microsoft, we're bringing our AI vision to life in ways that truly drive results. The narrative isn't just about adopting technology; it's about transforming how businesses think, operate, and compete in the AI era."

Solution development

The partnership builds on LTIMindtree's existing relationship with Microsoft, which includes the development of industry-specific solutions. These encompass data operations platforms, machine learning frameworks and cloud security systems.

LTIMindtree has developed several proprietary tools that integrate with Microsoft's technology stack. These include Spectra, a data management platform, and Lumin, an AI system for business analytics. The company has also created Refract, an enterprise AI platform that provides frameworks for building and deploying machine learning models.

The company's expertise spans multiple sectors, with solutions developed for manufacturing, financial services and healthcare industries. Its Field Service Pro solution, built on Microsoft's Dynamics 365 platform, provides digital tools for manufacturing operations.

LTIMindtree operates as a cloud solutions provider in nine regions worldwide and has developed more than 55 solutions that it sells jointly with Microsoft. The company, formed through the merger of L&T Infotech and Mindtree, is part of the Larsen & Toubro Group.

Julie says: “With Microsoft AI services like Copilot and Azure OpenAI Service, LTIMindtree is poised to drive significant advancements in AI-led digital transformation.”
