India’s Infosys has announced an expansion of its collaboration with Microsoft, a strategic alliance designed to accelerate the global adoption of generative AI and Microsoft Azure among their joint clientele.
The partnership aims to enhance the value derived from technological investments, ultimately leading to transformative outcomes for businesses worldwide.
The collaboration between Infosys and Microsoft began with Infosys’s early adoption of GitHub Copilot, a tool that has significantly improved efficiencies in code modernization and completion.
As a leading user of GitHub Copilot, Infosys has empowered over 18,000 developers to generate and utilise more than 7 million lines of code.
Strategic supplier
The substantial engagement underscores the company’s commitment to leveraging innovative technologies. Furthermore, the establishment of an industry-first GitHub Centre of Excellence positions Infosys at the forefront of enterprise AI innovation, enabling them to deliver cutting-edge solutions to clients globally.
In addition to its role as a GitHub pioneer, Infosys has been designated a strategic supplier to support Cloud and AI workloads for Microsoft’s enterprise customers.
By integrating Microsoft’s generative AI offerings into its Solution IP portfolio, Infosys aims to deliver unique capabilities that enhance cost-efficiency, scalability, and agility for its clients.
The collaboration also leverages Infosys’s proprietary platforms, such as Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt, along with the AI-powered marketing suite, Infosys Aster. This comprehensive approach is set to improve customer experiences and drive the widespread adoption of enterprise AI.
Moreover, many of the solutions developed through this partnership will be accessible via the Azure Marketplace, allowing clients to utilise their Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC). This not only creates a mutually beneficial market proposition but also simplifies the integration of advanced technologies into existing business frameworks.
Anand Swaminathan, Executive Vice President and Global Industry Leader at Infosys, said that the collaboration addresses critical business challenges by delivering enhanced value through a customer-centric approach.
“It promises scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency across vital sectors such as Finance, Healthcare, Supply Chain, and Telecommunications. As Infosys and Microsoft embark on this transformative journey, they are poised to redefine industry standards and empower organizations to thrive in the era of generative AI.”
Nicole Dezen, Chief Partner Officer at Microsoft, said that the expanded collaboration will transform industries, enhance business operations, and elevate employee experiences.
“By harnessing the power of generative AI, both companies aim to deliver innovative solutions that drive AI adoption and foster unprecedented innovation for their customers.”
