Introduction

IBM Consulting has pivoted to go all-in with Microsoft and is quickly becoming one of Microsoft's top global SI partners. IBM have made huge investments in skilling and hiring some of the best Microsoft talent in the market, where we have over 40,000 Microsoft consulting practitioners globally, across Azure Infrastructure, Digital & Application Innovation, Data & AI, Security and Business Applications.

  • Lead the presentation of solutions to our client C-suite and senior buyers - articulating technical, requirements mapping, business value and client obligations.
