Digital services and consulting provider Infosys forms a global alliance with IBM to help enterprises accelerate digital transformation efforts using the IBM public cloud.
The collaboration will also help enterprises in highly regulated industries, such as financial services, insurance and healthcare, to transition, modernise and transform enterprise workloads and applications by tapping into the security and enterprise capabilities of the IBM public cloud. In addition, Infosys will offer access to the Red Hat portfolio of open source offerings on the IBM public cloud, providing enterprises a greater level of scale, resources and capabilities in cloud-driven digital transformation.
“Enterprises cannot truly succeed at digital transformation without leveraging cloud - be it transforming processes, expanding into new markets, launching new products, automating operations or elevating customer experience, cloud is the true enabler to complete digital transformation," Infosys says. "But enterprises, especially in highly regulated and data sensitive industries are worried about privacy, regulatory compliance, security and system downtime as they embark on this transformation journey. Our collaboration with IBM will help enterprises across industries address these concerns and accelerate their digital transformation journey on IBM public cloud”
Infosys is the first system integrator making part of the IBM Public Cloud Ecosystm, an effort to bring IBM public cloud services via service providers. Through the program Infosys can deploy IBM technical expertise to support clients on their move to the IBM cloud, while Big Blue helps Infosys and clients with proof of concepts, running cloud pilots, staffing innovation centres and other mechanisms to deliver value quickly and securely.
Workloads and solutions customers can migrate to the IBM public cloud include application modernisation (VMware Cloud Infrastructure and Red Hat OpenShift), mainframe modernisation, SAP HANA running on IBM Power Systems technology, IBM QRadar security analytics, e-commerce and an assortment of Infosys-led industry solutions. Infosys will also invest in a dedicated IBM global cloud practice for the training and certification of employees.
