What This Specialization Means

This specialization is awarded to Microsoft partners who demonstrate deep technical proficiency and real-world experience delivering scalable, secure, and production-ready AI applications using Azure services. It reflects Microsoft's focus on partners who help organizations move beyond experimentation and successfully operationalize AI within their core business systems.
