Lumen Technologies is working with Microsoft to accelerate its digital transformation and drive artificial intelligence initiatives with the help of Microsoft Azure.
By utilising Microsoft Cloud and AI technology, Lumen aims to reduce its overall technology costs, remove legacy systems and silos, and improve its offerings for customers. The firm will also use Microsoft Entra solutions to safeguard access and prevent identity attacks.
“We are committed to partnering with Lumen to help deliver on their transformation goals, reimagine cloud connectivity and AI synergies, drive business growth and help customers achieve more,” said Erin Chapple, corporate vice president of Azure core product and design at Microsoft.
Meanwhile, Microsoft will leverage Lumen’s Private Connectivity Fabric. The custom network will strengthen the connectivity capabilities between Microsoft’s data centres by providing the additional network capacity, performance and speed needed as demand grows due to AI.
“Microsoft has an ambitious vision for AI and this level of innovation requires a network that can make it reality,” said Kate Johnson, president and CEO of Lumen Technologies. “Lumen’s expansive network meets this challenge, with unique routes, unmatched coverage and a digital platform built to give companies the flexibility, access and security they need to create an AI-enabled world.”
