Idea to Impact: How IBM Is Rewiring Microsoft Delivery

IBM & Microsoft.
Once fierce rivals. Now strategic partners.

If you'd said this in the 80s in the midst of the PC wars, you'd be laughed out of the server room.

Fast forward to today, IBM have a strong strategic partnership with Microsoft and have launched a dedicated Microsoft Practice.

Why?

Because transformation at enterprise scale now demands collaboration at enterprise scale.

🟦 Azure
🟨 Fabric
🟩 Copilot
🟪 AI at the edge of every workflow

Customers are looking for aligned ecosystems.

And IBM’s new Microsoft Practice puts decades of enterprise consulting muscle behind Microsoft’s modern cloud stack.

In this week's Microsoft Mentors podcast, I sat down with Tim Callahan to unpack:
➡️ The vision behind IBM’s Microsoft Practice
➡️ What this means for Azure customers (hint: faster idea-to-impact)
➡️ How IBM is restructuring to fuel transformation, not turf wars
➡️ And why, in a world racing toward AI, it’s not about picking sides, it’s about building bridges

This episode is packed with insight, nuance, and a few throwbacks to OCS and Blue Yonder mailboxes 👴

What do you make of the IBM + Microsoft alignment?
