Infosys Strengthens Strategic Alliance with Microsoft

The Microsoft team led by Satya Nadella and Indian IT giant Infosys have extended their collaboration to support the global acceleration of customers' adoption of Microsoft Azure and generative AI.

According to a statement from the firm, the strategic partnership is to assist Infosys and Microsoft's joint clients in realising the return on their technology investments and achieving transformative results. As per a regulatory filing, Infosys would integrate Microsoft's suite of generative AI services throughout its Solution IP portfolio to introduce distinctive features and assist clients in attaining cost-effectiveness, scalability, and flexibility.

The company's increased partnership with Infosys will change sectors, improve corporate operations, improve employee satisfaction, and provide consumers with new value. According to Nicole Dezen, Chief Partner Officer at Microsoft, "Together, the two companies will capitalise on the potential of generative AI to provide creative solutions, drive AI adoption, and allow unparalleled innovation for customers."

Top GitHub Copilot, Infosys

Since Infosys first introduced GitHub Copilot, the two companies have worked together to significantly improve code completion and modernisation. With more than 18,000 developers using GitHub Copilot to produce more than 7 million lines of code, Infosys is currently acknowledged as one of the top users of this platform.

The partnership solves numerous business issues using a customer-centric approach, according to Anand Swaminathan, EVP and Global Industry Leader--Communications, Media, and Technology, Infosys. It offers scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency across important sectors like finance, healthcare, supply chain, and telecommunications.

Adding to Microsoft's Generative AI Product Line

Infosys was also selected as a strategic supplier to serve Microsoft's enterprise customers' cloud and AI workloads. Infosys will integrate Microsoft's generative AI suite of products throughout its portfolio of Solution IP to deliver distinctive features that assist customers in achieving cost-effectiveness, scalability, and agility.

Together with Microsoft's technology, the partnership will accelerate the global adoption of enterprise AI by improving customer experiences and leveraging Infosys's AI-powered marketing suite, Infosys Aster, and its own portfolio of industry-leading AI and Cloud services, Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt.

Both businesses are concentrating on exchanging best practices for Responsible AI (RAI) as their partnership expands.
