IBM Consulting is proud to announce that we have earned the AI and Machine Learning on Microsoft Azure advanced specialization.

This is a validation of a services partner’s deep knowledge, extensive experience and proven success in enabling customer adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and implementing Azure solutions for machine-learning (ML) lifecycles and AI-powered apps.

Only partners that meet stringent criteria around customer success and staff skilling and pass a third-party audit of their AI and machine-learning technical practices can earn the AI and Machine Learning on Microsoft Azure advanced specialization.
