Finnish software and technology company Tieto has announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft, aimed at accelerating artificial intelligence adoption across its customer base and internal operations.
The collaboration spans multiple workstreams, including co-selling AI solutions to selected customers, joint AI showcases, capability development and certifications across Microsoft’s AI-enabling technologies, as well as improvements to software development efficiency. The partnership will also extend to AI adoption within Tieto’s own operations.
One of the earliest initiatives under the agreement is focused on advancing Tieto Tech Consulting’s roadmap to support agentic transformation and engineering productivity. Central to this effort is an ambitious upskilling programme targeting 5,000 consultants, who will be trained in the latest Microsoft AI technologies.
Tieto CEO Endre Rangnes said, “Microsoft, as one of the leading technology players, is a strong fit for our customers to advance their AI transformation in a sustainable manner. Tieto-Microsoft partnership will form a strong catalyst to elevate customers’ AI solutions from ideas and proof-of-concepts to real-life use cases in production and at scale, creating tangible value. This will be a win win-win for our customers, Microsoft and Tieto.”
The deal combines Tieto’s deep customer relationships and sector-specific expertise, built through its specialised software businesses Tieto Caretech, Tieto Banktech and Tieto Indtech, with Microsoft’s broader AI platform capabilities.
Tieto, which employs around 14,000 professionals across vertical software, design, cloud and AI disciplines, generates annual revenues of approximately €2bn and is listed on the NASDAQ exchanges in Helsinki and Stockholm, as well as on Oslo Børs.
Microsoft CVP of commercial cloud solutions, EMEA, Mark Chaban said, “AI is fundamentally changing how organizations create value by redefining productivity, innovation, and competitiveness in the process.
“Through our partnership with Tieto, we’re combining deep industry insight and customer understanding with Microsoft’s AI platform to help organizations move from experimentation to real impact at scale. Together, we’re enabling customers to turn ambition into secure, scalable, and measurable business outcomes with agentic AI.”
