Is data and AI the key to saving the UK's biodiversity? Thanks to funding from Ofwat, we’ve been working with Anglian Water Services to try and do just that. By leveraging Microsoft's digital twin and AI technology, we've created a virtual replica of river catchments, that allow Anglian Water to unlock greater insight than ever before on the elements that impact the health of our rivers and what they can do to improve it.       Only 14% of UK rivers are considered in good ecological health and this is resulting in a biodiversity crisis across our country. By providing a solution to previously siloed environmental data, creating an integrated, future-proof solution in Azure that allows Anglian to drive new solutions to improving river health, we're doing what matters for the UK's ecosystems.

🌍 Reflecting on World Mental Health Day at Avanade 🌍 World Mental Health Day is a crucial reminder of the importance of mental well-being. At Avanade, we recognise that mental health is just as important as physical health. It's essential to take time to connect with our emotions, understand our needs, and support each other in our journeys towards better mental health. To mark this important day, we hosted a workshop aimed at helping our team develop self-awareness and practical tools for emotional well-being. Participants learned valuable skills to recognise, name, and communicate their emotions, which are vital for maintaining balance and strengthening relationships. Let's continue to support each other and prioritise mental health every day. 💚 #WorldMentalHealthDay #AvanadeDoWhatMatters #WorkAtAvanade

We were proud to participate in this year's #NHS Integrating Care Conference, discussing how Avanade is transforming healthcare with digital solutions. In our session, "The Secret to Delivering a Step Change in Digital Health Outcomes," we explored how to overcome resource constraints and unlock the full potential of interoperable systems for the NHS. Building on our work with NHS Digital—where we rapidly implemented Microsoft Teams for 1.2 million NHSmail users—we’re continuing to help healthcare teams collaborate better and deliver personalised, accessible care using AI-driven insights and innovative Microsoft solutions.

Today marks the start of Black History Month in the UK and Europe, and we’re excited to celebrate by embracing this year’s theme: ‘Reclaiming Narratives.’ This theme centers on empowering Black communities to take ownership of their stories—challenging stereotypes, correcting misrepresentations, and highlighting the richness and diversity of Black experiences. 🌍✨ Our 'Beyond Multicultural Network' has organised a series of inspiring events across Europe that reflect this powerful theme. Stay tuned to see how we’ve dedicated the month to honouring #BlackHistoryMonth! #AvanadeDoWhatMatters #WorkAtAvanade #BHM24 #ReclaimingNarratives
