MRM//McCann, McCann Worldgroup’s global customer relationship agency, has announced the launch of their Microsoft Center of Excellence (COEx), a state-of-the-art practice focusing on Microsoft technologies, including Azure, ASP.NET, SQL Server, Dynamics, Power BI and platforms such as Sitecore, Episerver and SDL.

Located in MRM//McCann’s London office, working in close collaboration with the New York, Salt Lake City and New Delhi teams, and servicing the agency’s 40-city global network, the Microsoft COEx uses a hub-and-spoke model to deliver scalable solutions for MRM//McCann, McCann Worldgroup and IPG clients around the globe. This is the agency’s fifth COEx, joining existing Adobe, Acquia, Salesforce, and Digital Production.

“We remain committed to expanding our technology partnerships and capabilities to be able to provide the transformative digital experiences our clients need and demand,” said MRM//McCann global CEO Kate MacNevin. “Designing a digital service powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data requires an innovative, agile and dedicated technology partner like Microsoft. We are excited to continue to build on our decade-long relationship with Microsoft, working together to power next-gen solutions that will deliver results.”

“MRM//McCann’s focus on embracing intelligent cloud technology into the very heart of our marketing activities enables us to build, develop and deploy services focused on driving compelling and meaningful customer engagements,” said Paul Bolt, chief marketing officer, Microsoft UK.
