Vodafone is working with Tech Mahindra to help UK organisations accelerate digital transformation and adopt emerging technologies such as AI, automation, private 5G, IoT and cloud.

The partnership combines Vodafone Business’ enterprise and digital infrastructure with Indian firm Tech Mahindra’s AI-led transformation, integration, engineering and managed services expertise. Together, both organisations plan to develop propositions using AI, automation, private 5G, IoT, cloud and data to modernise operations, build resilience and unlock business models.

The agreement supports Vodafone’s broader strategy to build a specialist partner ecosystem, giving its customers access to the expertise needed at every stage of transformation.

It should let both organisations identify and develop opportunities where their complementary capabilities can help customers simplify operations, modernise technology environments and deliver measurable business outcomes.
