AT&T names Microsoft its Preferred Cloud Provider for Non-Network Apps

Microsoft will be the preferred cloud provider for non-network applications, AT&T says. AT&T is migrating most non-network workloads to the public cloud by 2024, and will do so using Microsoft cloud computing facilities. 

As part of the agreement, AT&T will provide much of its workforce with robust cloud-based productivity and collaboration tools available with Microsoft 365, and plans to migrate non-network infrastructure applications to the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.

AT&T and Microsoft will together help enable a future of ubiquitous computing through edge technologies and 5G. In return, Microsoft will tap into the innovation AT&T is offering on its 5G network, including the design, test, and building of edge-computing capabilities.
