Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and Microsoft India on Monday, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The mission is to develop a regulated sector focused cloud offering to empower customers with the best-of-breed cloud computing and infrastructure services. As per an official statement, in line with emerging regulations, L&T and Microsoft will co-engage with a defined set of large customers in regulated sectors to develop architectures and roadmaps to modernize their traditional data centers to potentially hybrid models and advance their digital transformation goals.

Under the MoU, both the companies will setup a joint governance group to define future platform designs, investments, and commercial/business models to service the regulated sectors' emerging technology requirements. Senior leadership teams of both the organizations will be engaged collectively on this as the association evolves. As per the present norms, the MoU will focus on engaging customers in India, with the potential to extend this partnership to other jurisdictions in the future, as agreed between the two companies. Also, L&T and Microsoft will consider possible partnership structures to continue to collaborate for the performance of this MoU, when the time comes.
