On Wednesday, tech giants Infosys and Microsoft announced an expanded collaboration to boost the global adoption of generative AI and Microsoft Azure. This initiative aims to help their joint customers maximize their technology investments and achieve significant outcomes.

Infosys has been an early adopter of GitHub Copilot, with over 18,000 developers generating more than 7 million lines of code using the tool. Anand Swaminathan, Executive Vice President and Global Industry Leader for Communications, Media, and Technology at Infosys, explained that this partnership addresses various business challenges by delivering increased value to clients through a customer-focused approach. It emphasizes scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency in key sectors like finance, healthcare, supply chain, and telecommunications.

Recently, Infosys launched a GitHub Center of Excellence (CoE) and is integrating Microsoft’s technology with its own AI and cloud offerings, including Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt, as well as its AI-driven marketing suite, Infosys Aster. Many of these solutions will be available on Azure Marketplace, allowing customers to utilize their Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) for better value.

Nicole Dezen, Chief Partner Officer at Microsoft, noted that this expanded collaboration will transform industries, improve business operations, and elevate employee experiences. By harnessing the power of generative AI, the companies aim to deliver innovative solutions and drive AI adoption, potentially boosting global GDP by over $1.5 trillion by 2030.
