Infosys Ltd and German automotive major Daimler AG has entered a long-term strategic partnership for a technology-driven IT infrastructure transformation.
This is the second largest deal for the Bangalore-based software major this year after it bagged a multi-year digital transformation deal from the US investment firm Vanguard in July.
Infosys will help Daimler upgrade its IT operating model and infrastructure across workplace services, service desk, data centre, networks and SAP (systems applications and products).
As a part of this partnership, automotive IT infrastructure experts based out of Germany, wider Europe, the U.S. and the APAC region will transition from Daimler AG to Infosys.
"As we embark on this journey, we will bring together capabilities, ecosystems and a hybrid cloud infrastructure that will shape new experiences for Daimler AG and the industry at large. Infosys has deep expertise in helping our clients across the globe navigate their digital journeys, and as part of this strategic partnership, we look forward to setting a new standard for the automotive industry," Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer, Infosys said.
The company’s digital business has grown 25.4% since last year and contributed 47.3% to the revenue for the second quarter ended September. Parekh said the contribution could increase to 50% in the next few quarters.
