Infosys has expanded its strategic partnership with Microsoft to expedite the adoption of generative AI and Microsoft Azure among their global customer base.
This partnership is designed to help customers secure transformative outcomes and maximise the value of their technology investments, the Indian IT major said.
The collaboration initially began with the company adopting GitHub Copilot, which has led to significant efficiencies in code modernisation.
As a top GitHub Copilot “customer zero,” the company is said to have more than 18,000 developers who have generated more than seven million lines of code using the tool.
Furthermore, the newly opened GitHub Center of Excellence (CoE) will aid Infosys to deliver enterprise AI innovation.
The company has been selected as a strategic supplier to support the enterprise customers of Microsoft with Cloud and AI workloads.
