Microsoft Launches Cloud Accelerator Program

Microsoft India launched a special Cloud Accelerator Program at the India’s largest cloud conference, 2015 Microsoft Azure Conference. The Cloud Accelerator Program will serve as a catalyst to accelerate the adoption of Microsoft Azure and Office 365 cloud services amongst enterprises and government organizations.

With the help of in-house experts and trained partners, Microsoft India’s Cloud Accelerator Program is specially designed to help Indian customers start and complete their cloud journey, the press release said.  More than 15 Microsoft partners including HCL, Wipro and Tech Mahindra will be part of the roll out of the Cloud Accelerator Program in India. More partners will come on board with new offerings over the coming months.

In addition, Microsoft has launched cloud training programs – Azure Vidyapeeth and GuruVarta, for partners that will enable SMBs transition to the cloud. The program will upskill partners to help 10,000 SMBs across 250 cities to move to the cloud.

“The cloud is the only way enterprises and government organizations can scale up IT infrastructure to meet the needs of the discerning digital Indian.  The Cloud Accelerator Program is designed to help India move to the cloud, and in turn, help ‘Make in India’ a reality. This will open up new possibilities in e-governance, financial inclusion, healthcare, and education to positively impact the lives of a billion people,” said BhaskarPramanik, Chairman, Microsoft India.
