The collaboration will enhance efficiencies with strong data analytics, including predictive maintenance and end-to-end factory visibility.

Infosys will use its storehouse of Industry 4.0 accelerators to account for end-to-end implementation services and post-implementation support for MindSphere. Additionally, it will also use platform tools like AR/VR tools and apps such as factory visibility to expedite the process of customer onboarding to MindSphere.

Increasing competition in the digital market is driving enterprises to constantly deliver new and innovative services. With this partnership, Infosys expects to bring new solutions to customers to improve their competitiveness.

Extended Partner Base, New Solutions to Drive Growth

Infosys has been dedicatedly carrying out the “Renew New” program, which includes restructuring of customer-centric functions and unification of delivery systems. This is proving to be highly beneficial for the company.

A look at the performance of the company shows that these investments are proving to be accretive to the top-line growth of the company.
