Global digital services leader Infosys has partnered with Google Cloud to establish a Center of Excellence (CoE) aimed at advancing enterprise AI innovation and fostering the co-creation of transformative solutions. This collaboration combines Infosys Topaz AI capabilities and Cobalt cloud services with Google Cloud’s generative AI technologies to address diverse business challenges across industries.
Strategic Focus on AI Solutions
The newly launched CoE will focus on developing tailored AI solutions for enterprises across key domains. This includes contact center AI, software development lifecycle management, and application modernization. The objective is to drive efficiency, scalability, and innovation through AI-powered tools and cloud-driven solutions.
Infosys’ AI-first platform, Infosys Topaz, has already demonstrated success in supporting businesses like zooplus. The collaboration empowered zooplus to optimize marketing strategies, streamline supply chain operations, and enhance customer experiences through AI-driven insights.
Another notable success story includes Sally Beauty Holdings, Inc. (SBH), an international beauty retailer. With Infosys’ support, SBH adopted AI-powered hyper-automation practices, transforming its IT service delivery processes and improving operational efficiencies.
Innovation Hub at Bengaluru Campus
A dedicated AI Experience Zone has been set up at Infosys’ Bengaluru campus as part of the CoE initiative. This facility serves as a demonstration hub where businesses can experience AI-powered solutions in real-world scenarios.
Balakrishna D. R. (Bali), Executive Vice President and Global Services Head at Infosys, highlighted the transformative potential of this partnership:
“Combining the expertise of Infosys Topaz AI offerings with Google Cloud’s leading technologies, we are empowering enterprises to harness the real power of generative AI through collaboration and co-innovation.
