Infosys Launches Google Cloud Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru
Infosys, a global leader in digital services and consulting, has launched a Google Cloud Centre of Excellence (CoE) at its Bengaluru campus to drive enterprise AI innovations. The initiative, powered by Infosys Topaz, aims to help businesses leverage generative AI for transformative growth. The centre will use AI to co-create solutions to tackle business and technology challenges. Key areas of focus include contact centre AI, application modernisation, speech-to-speech transformation, and text-to-image solutions. These efforts are expected to enhance efficiency and improve business performance. Long-Standing Partnership Infosys and Google Cloud have a long-standing partnership in delivering data analytics and AI solutions. With over 60,000 Infosys employees already skilled in Google Cloud, the new centre combines the capabilities of Infosys Topaz AI, Infosys Cobalt cloud services, and Google Cloud’s generative AI technologies to create customised enterprise solutions. Balakrishna DR, executive vice president at Infosys, highlighted the strategic importance of the collaboration. “The strengthened collaboration with Google Cloud represents a strategic alignment in our mission to lead enterprise AI innovation,” he said. “We are empowering enterprises to harness the real power of generative AI through collaboration and co-innovation.” Victor Morales, vice president of GSI and consulting partnerships at Google Cloud, echoed this sentiment, stating, “Infosys and Google Cloud are committed to providing customers with the industry expertise and technology needed to accelerate digital transformation.” The centre also includes an AI Experience Zone at Infosys’ Bengaluru campus, where enterprises can explore AI-powered solutions developed through the partnership. Infosys has announced a collaboration with RheinEnergie, a German energy service provider, to help enterprises advance their energy transition and sustainability goals, as announced by the company last Thursday. The initiative leverages Infosys Cobalt and Topaz to help organisations improve energy efficiency by 30–40% while meeting decarbonisation targets. The partnership will provide enterprises with solutions in cloud technology, AI, and Industry 4.0. The focus is on decentralising the energy transition by connecting renewable generation, storage, energy markets, grids, and energy-consuming assets. West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee is set to inaugurate Infosys’ new campus in Kolkata’s New Town on Wednesday. The IT giant, which began operations at the 17.5-acre facility earlier this year, plans to gradually scale up its activities at the site.
