The Coca-Cola Company and Microsoft Corp. have joined forces in a $1.1 billion deal to leverage Microsoft Cloud and AI technologies, aiming to streamline operations and spark worldwide innovation.
Strategic Partnership Between Coca-Cola and Microsoft Cloud Announced
Microsoft and Coca-Cola unveiled in a press release a comprehensive five-year strategic alliance aimed at synchronizing Coca-Cola's fundamental technology strategy across its entire system, promoting the integration of cutting-edge technology, and cultivating innovation and efficiency on a global scale.
Coca-Cola has committed $1.1 billion to the Microsoft Cloud and its generative AI capabilities as part of the agreement. The partnership highlights Coca-Cola's continuous technological revolution, supported by Microsoft Cloud, the company's strategic and globally preferred cloud and artificial intelligence platform.
As a result, the businesses will collaborate to test cutting-edge new technologies like Azure OpenAI Service to create creative, generative AI use cases for various business applications. This involves examining the potential benefits of Copilot for Microsoft 365 for raising office productivity.
How AI Services Will Boost Coca-Cola's Business Productivity
According to the two firms, Coca-Cola would test Microsoft's Copilot capabilities to assess how the technologies increase beverage makers' productivity. Among its various capabilities, Copilot is an AI assistant that can help summarize protracted email exchanges and create slide decks for business presentations.
The deal is a significant step forward for Coca-Cola's digital transformation. It emphasizes giving the company more access to Microsoft's cloud and AI platforms and products, such as Defender, 365, Power BI, and Microsoft 365, to improve scalability and efficiency and promote innovation throughout the system.
According to US News, Microsoft did not provide a breakdown of the financials of the $1.1 billion Coca-Cola transaction regarding the dollar amount attributed to AI Services vs. regular cloud software.
