Infosys announced that it is collaborating with Microsoft to jointly develop industry solutions that will leverage their respective artificial intelligence (AI) tools and services – Infosys Topaz and Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service and Azure Cognitive Services.
Both organizations will bring together their respective AI capabilities to enhance enterprise functions with AI-enabled solutions across multiple industries. The integrated solutions will accelerate rapid democratization of data and intelligence and drive new revenue growth, said the company in a filing with BSE.
The partnership comes days after the Indian IT major announced expanding its strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to help enterprises drive productivity gains with generative AI applications and solutions. It also said that NVIDIA will train 50,000 employees on AI technology.
Just two months ago, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and HCLTech announced partnerships with Microsoft to help clients with enhanced AI-enabled solutions.
HCLTech is working with Microsoft to offer a comprehensive skills development program and train 10,000 HCLTech engineers and architects in advanced AI technologies. Similarly, TCS MBU (Microsoft Business Unit) plans to get 25,000 associates trained and certified on Azure Open AI to help clients accelerate their adoption of this powerful new technology.
Generative AI has opened new avenues of AI applications and key enterprise functions across industries, and Infosys is providing services, frameworks, solutions, and platforms in multiple application areas, such as semantic search, document summarization, contact center transformation, AI-augmented software development lifecycle (SDLC) and marketing content creation.
Balakrishna DR, executive vice president and global head – AI and automation, application development and maintenance, Infosys, said, Infosys Topaz is empowering businesses with improved operational efficiencies and reduced time-to-market for launching new products and services.
He added, “Through our strategic collaboration with Microsoft, we will continue to lead the generative AI revolution, helping businesses amplify human potential and navigate their next move towards becoming AI-first enterprises.”
Nicole Dezen, chief partner officer, Microsoft Corp, said the partnership will help customers develop new business models and realize new revenue streams.
