HCLTech to offer generative AI solutions with Microsoft, train 10,000

HCLTech said on Thursday that Microsoft has expanded its strategic partnership with the company to leverage generative artificial intelligence (AI) and develop joint solutions. HCLTech is working with Microsoft to certify 10,000 HCLTech engineers and architects in advanced AI technologies.

This program will provide training and certification opportunities to employees and offer access to exclusive resources and tools.

HCLTech will establish a Microsoft Cloud Generative AI Center of Excellence (GenAI CoE) focused on developing industry-specific solutions leveraging the power of generative AI. The company announced a similar partnership with Google Cloud on Wednesday.


Clients will be able to access HCLTech's domain expertise across various industries and Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service. Azure OpenAI Service provides REST (Representational State Transfer) API access to OpenAI's language models, including the GPT-3, Codex and Embeddings model series.

“Whether enhancing customer experiences, streamlining supply chain operations or optimizing business processes, this powerful collaboration provides the tools and expertise companies need to succeed in this fast-paced digital landscape,” said Kalyan Kumar, chief technology officer, HCLTech.

“HCLTech has deep domain expertise across industries, making it uniquely able to utilize Azure OpenAI to deliver solutions that help customers transform and drive growth,” said Kelly Rogan, corporate VP, Microsoft.
