When it comes to disrupting the status-quo in a rapidly changing business world,
technology has always been on the
forefront. And this has never been truer, than it is today. Things that were
considered good to have for enterprises
less than a year back, have today turned into must-haves, as enterprises come to
terms with a post-pandemic world.
Digital experiences and ecosystems are no longer an optional element.
In this entire journey of navigating towards a digital ecosystem, cloud has
always been vital, says Ravi Kumar,
President, Infosys.
“The cloud in many ways, is very foundational to digital journeys because it
allows organizations to become agile and
variabilize their costs, and variabilize their operating models so that they
could cope up with dynamic changes in the
market,” says Kumar.
This is especially true in the current environment as organizations across the
world are navigating a health crisis, and
cloud helps in making organizations more resilient, right from achieving
agility, to innovating at scale.
And that’s where Infosys Cobalt comes in.
To cater to organizations at this critical juncture, innovation is key, and at
Infosys, we’re keen to draw on the
community within Infosys. Kumar talks about people who work with organizations
every day to help them through
transformation, and accelerate the pace at which they can embrace the cloud.
The curated sets of 35,000+ assets of learning, knowledge-based accelerators and
tools, and more than 300 industry
templates, are put together by a central engineering team that would help
organizations navigate through the cloud
journey while ensuring security.
“(This) will allow enterprises to accelerate these journeys to move into the
cloud from on-prem(ise), to move with the
cloud to transform the workloads, as well as to change the operating models of
large enterprises,” notes Kumar, adding
that large enterprises today are powering their products and services by
embracing cloud.
We realize the when it comes to cloud, perhaps nothing matters more than a
community of innovators that enterprises can
tap into – startup innovators, new-age cloud innovators etc. And with Infosys
Cobalt, we bring the power of the cloud
community to our clients.
“Our belief is grassroots innovation is not just with a partner like Infosys, but
also the enterprise, which is going
through this journey. So progressively, we will build this community to our
clients,” says Kumar.
Furthermore, the next step would be to expose this community to the world of
cloud developers, “So that a gig worker who
is working on cloud development contributes to this community as well as draws
from this community,” says Kumar.
As more and more organizations seek to transform themselves with cloud, Infosys
Cobalt can draw heavily from the
synergies of experience, innovation, and learning.
