Avanade bolsters partnership with Mangata Networks to create AI-first organisation with agentic AI solutions

Avanade, the world’s leading Microsoft expert, has strengthened its partnership with Mangata Networks, a global satellite communications and AI-enabled edge cloud services company. This collaboration will enable Mangata to reimagine its offerings through an AI-first lens with the deployment of agentic AI, a highly advanced offering that will enable real-time, autonomous, intelligent operations anywhere in the world.


Avanade is building its intelligent-edge capability and embedding AI across every aspect of Mangata’s offering. These new capabilities include predictive fault detection and remediation for the edge itself and for connected IoT devices, intelligent management of scarce resources at the edge, and streamlined business operations.


By integrating agentic AI technology across Mangata’s ecosystem, Avanade is enabling the organisation to become more efficient, agile, and competitive. The AI solution is designed to automate complex tasks, process vast amounts of data and operate with minimum human intervention. The technology intelligently, appropriately, and cost-effectively distributes processing between the edge and cloud, depending on the task at hand. This will significantly reduce workloads for clients and partners, enable applications to be deployed in great scale at locations never seen before, and encourage customers to explore new applications while realizing exponential value and gains.


As the leading Microsoft solutions provider, Avanade’s expertise uniquely positions the company to offer proprietary solutions to support this ground-breaking approach. The company’s novel implementation of the technologies, in close collaboration with Microsoft, will enable Mangata to unlock the full potential of AI, driving seamless adoption and innovation at the cutting-edge.


The strengthened partnership is pivotal to Mangata’s current phase of growth, as the startup is committed to implementing a comprehensive AI strategy from the outset. Backed by a clear vision for long-term success, it also enables Mangata to hyperscale its business at pace.


Responsible AI will remain a cornerstone of the project. By ensuring ethical AI deployment, Avanade and Mangata are committed to building innovations rooted in trust and transparency, empowering both partners and customers alike. With Avanade's expertise, Mangata will leverage agentic AI to drive sustainable, cost-effective growth, all while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and efficiency.


Ben Trappe, Head of Comms Media and Technology at Avanade said, “We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Mangata, and we hope this collaboration sets a precedent for embracing an AI-first approach. This partnership is a strategic investment in the evolution of AI-driven business, where leaders must not only adopt cutting-edge technologies but also redefine their vision for growth and innovation. Many businesses attempting to retrofit AI into their existing systems are quickly hitting the ceiling, often realising the need for an entire infrastructure overhaul. Now is the time to craft responsible, forward-thinking strategies that position organisations to thrive in an AI-powered world from the outset."


Brian Holz, Chief Executive Officer at Mangata Networks added, “We are delighted to be embarking on this transformative journey with Avanade. Together, we are setting a new standard for what is possible with agentic AI - a technology we believe will revolutionise the industry by enhancing agility and enabling businesses to adapt swiftly to market trends. Avanade’s Microsoft expertise will bring immense value to our customers, and we are confident this partnership will be a game-changer.”
