The two companies will further consolidate their existing global alliance by setting up a joint Digital Industrial Transformation Applied Innovation Centre for shared enterprise customers.

The Digital Industrial Transformation Applied Innovation Centre will showcase how the Microsoft AI platform, Azure IoT, Microsoft Cognitive Services and Azure Machine Learning power LTTS' globally proven cutting edge digital solutions in Smart Manufacturing, Smart Asset Performance Management and Smart Buildings.

The proposed Applied Innovation Centre will include live Digital Industrial Use Cases from their Enterprise customers and academia partners, in addition to LTTS and Microsoft.

LTTS' Smart Buildings solution, i-BEMS on Azure delivers Smart City, Campus and Buildings "system of systems" management, whereas LTTS' Remote Asset Performance Management (RAPM) on Azure covers thousands of assets, improving their efficiency and utilization and LTTS' W.A.G.E.S on Azure enables Smart Manufacturing by managing for Water, Air, Gas, Electricity and Steam Compliance for industrial enterprises.

Microsoft & LTTS (a 2017 Azure Emerging Partner awardee and Microsoft global alliance partner) have established a strong track record of winning global Fortune 500 class projects and delivering customer success stories combining LTTS' strong Digital Industrial and Engineering heritage and Microsoft's Cloud innovation on Azure. For instance, both companies collaborated earlier this year to develop a Smart Buildings campus in Israel for a leading technology company that will optimize customer energy consumption by up to 40 percent leveraging LTTS i-BEMS, and more recently to enable country wide Remote Asset Performance Management for a global Industrial customer. Together, both companies have been co-investing, engineering and delivering a strong global business pipeline for Digital Industrial and Engineering solutions across US, Canada, UK, Western Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific, Japan and India.

"The industrial landscape is witnessing disruption with digital innovation enabled by hyper-scale, secure, cloud based solutions tapping into the Microsoft AI platform, Microsoft Azure IoT, Azure Machine Learning & Microsoft Cognitive Services. LTTS is harnessing all these capabilities to drive digital disruption i.e. Digital Engineering, Smart Manufacturing, and Perceptual Engineering. Microsoft and its Azure cloud platform perfectly align to our objectives to deliver Digital Industrial and Engineering solutions and services that help our shared customers thrive in the digital age," said Amit Chadha, President, Sales and Business Development and Whole-Time Director, L&T Technology Services.

Azure customers will benefit from LTTS' expertise in Digital Industrial and Engineering Transformation, and through the integration with other Azure services, such as Microsoft Azure IoT, Microsoft Cognitive Services and Azure Machine Learning.
