New year. New space. New team.AzureAustin and Women Who Code are partnering up to host a fireside chat with Walmart Technolgoy and Microsoft over light bites and beverages. Walmart Technology is doubling down on their investment in Austin in 2019. Their space has expanding and they're teaming up with fellow tech giant, Microsoft, to accelerate digital innovation that transforms how associates work and delivers more convenient ways for customers to shop. The Walmart-Microsoft duo – known internally as “4co” for its location at Fourth and Colorado – will initially focus on migrating Walmart’s thousands of internal business applications to Microsoft Azure. The team will also build new, cloud-native applications. The collaboration will be part of a multi-year journey to modernize Walmart’s enterprise application portfolio, create more efficient business processes and decrease operational costs associated with legacy architecture. Come to this event to learn how Walmart envisions cloud impacting technology, understand why Walmart is such an important customer to Microsoft, talk to the people hiring for this team, and meet other people working in this industry. We hope to see you there!
