Coca-Cola Partners with Microsoft For its Cloud Services

Today, The Coca-Cola Company announced a five-year agreement with Microsoft Corp. to standardize its business operations on Microsoft’s cloud and deliver rich new digital experiences that will provide innovative solutions to modernize how the company engages with employees and customers.

The Coca-Cola Company will be using the full suite of tools Microsoft offers to businesses, including Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure. Specifically, tools such as Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Microsoft's Power Platform, and Teams will be deployed to Coca-Cola's employees to enable insights into customer satisfaction and better communication between employees.

“Coca-Cola is a pioneer and forward-thinking leader in its industry,” said Judson Althoff, executive vice president, Worldwide Commercial Business, Microsoft. “Today, the company is taking its digital innovation a step further, leveraging Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365 and Azure to better connect people and opportunities through breakthrough productivity and powerful information management that will drive continued business success over the next decade.”

According to Barry Simpson, the spokesperson for The Coca-Cola Company;

“At The Coca-Cola Company, innovation and growth are key pillars of our business,” said Barry Simpson, senior vice president and chief information and integrated services officer of The Coca-Cola Company. “This partnership with Microsoft allows us to really step change our employee experience through replacing previously disparate and fragmented systems. These platforms allow us to deliver relevant, personalized experiences as we network our organization.”

Once deployed, new Dynamics 365 AI-driven insights and real-time dashboards will allow call center managers to monitor performance metrics for overall employee satisfaction scores and benefit from real-time insights into which call topics are driving scores. These investments will also enable The Coca-Cola Company to access the latest innovations in the Dynamics 365 portfolio of applications and expanding functionalities that offer a true 360-degree customer and business view, unifying processes and providing forward-looking intelligence, enabling employees to proactively drive decisions and action.

The Coca-Cola Company is also rolling out Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams worldwide, equipping employees with a single hub to connect and collaborate across chat, calling, meetings and documents.

It seems that as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, The Coca-Cola Company is leveraging Microsoft's collaboration technologies to support the increased demand of a largely remote workforce.

These technologies are enabling The Coca-Cola Company to host many internal meetings on a global, regional and local scale, and with the global shelter-in-place mandates, on 21 April, the company held a virtual quarterly earnings town hall meeting for employees using Microsoft 365 Live Events, which enables "broadcast-style" video presentations for large-scale audiences, both live and on-demand.
