Tech Mahindra and Microsoft team up to launch a unified workbench

IT services and consulting firm Tech Mahindra has announced a collaboration with tech major Microsoft to launch a unified workbench on Microsoft Fabric. 

The workbench is designed to help organizations accelerate the adoption of Microsoft Fabric and enable them to create complex data workflows with a simple-to-use interface. Microsoft Fabric is an all-in-one analytics solution for enterprises that includes data movement, data science, real-time analytics, and business intelligence.

According to a press release, this collaboration will combine Tech Mahindra’s Intellectual Properties (IPs) with Microsoft Fabric capabilities to help customers fast-track their data-to-insight journey and improve business agility. 
It will streamline workflows, optimize data, automate processes, and enhance operational efficiency by 30-40%, thereby reducing costs associated with traditional data management. Customers will have a single dashboard with a unified view of enterprise tools and systems, eliminating silos and enabling improved decision-making.

Tech Mahindra is a gold-certified Microsoft partner with an association spanning over 15 years. Kunal Purohit, Chief Digital Services Officer at Tech Mahindra, stated, "Our long-standing partnership with Microsoft has been helping enterprises embrace the vast potential of data & AI in the cloud. With innovative solutions like the unified workbench for Microsoft Fabric, we enable customers to accelerate their journey to becoming more data-driven in their operating model and more cognitive in their approach to the business."

The unified workbench, designed by Tech Mahindra and co-developed on Microsoft Fabric, offers a range of features, including data pipeline creation, data quality as a service, data observability, data products marketplace, analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning for organizations looking to modernize and upgrade their technology infrastructure. The collaboration will enable effective utilization and monetization of data assets to provide a seamless experience for data scientists, analysts, CIO/CTOs, and business professionals, Tech Mahindra said in a statement.

Zia Mansoor, Corporate Vice President of Data & AI at Microsoft, said, "Tech Mahindra is delivering innovative services and solutions on Microsoft Azure and Fabric that will enhance customer experiences, accelerate business transformation, and drive growth. Together, with Tech Mahindra, we will help customers take advantage of Microsoft Azure and AI to thrive and achieve success."

In July of last year, Tech Mahindra announced an integration with Microsoft to enable generative AI-powered enterprise search. The new offering was aimed at helping enterprises increase effectiveness and personalization so that they can leverage enterprise data and present a multi-modal, multi-channel search experience.
