AUSTIN, Texas (AP) _ Engineers from Walmart and Microsoft will work together in
Texas to help the Arkansas-based retail giant provide more convenient ways for
customers to shop.
Walmart on Monday announced plans to expand its technology center in Austin in
a move to help associates make better use of digital data and improve
operations.
A statement from Washington-based Microsoft says about 30 technologists will
work together in the cloud factory that’s expected to open in early 2019. Both
companies say it’s an extension of a strategic partnership announced in July.
Team members will focus on migrating Walmart’s thousands of internal business
applications to Microsoft Azure. The cloud factory will be an expansion of
Walmart’s so-called innovation hub, which opened earlier this year in Austin.
