Infosys shares gain over 3% on partnering with Google Cloud

The share price of Infosys surged by over 3% on stock exchanges, despite the benchmark indices shedding blood in today’s trading session. The IT-giant touched an intraday high of Rs 729.95 per piece which resulted in gains of 3.35% so far on BSE, however, at around 11:38 hours, the company was trading at Rs 727 per piece up by Rs 20.70 or 2.93%. One can attribute the reason for such uptick on the back of Infosys joining hands with search engine Google Clouds to develop data native intelligent enterprise. 

In a notification to BSE on evening of September 21, Infosys said, “ Through this partnership that enhances Infosys’ existing capabilities, the company will offer solutions and services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), creating a scalable, on-demand cloud model that will enable enterprises to easily transition and adopt a cloud-first strategy.”

As part of this partnership, Infosys has built artificial intelligence and machine learning-driven industry specific solutions on GCP that are foundational to digitizing the data supply chain, such as Analytics Workbench, which augments data platforms to deliver end-to-end self-service capabilities, Information Grid, which provides a data pipeline for seamless movement of data to Google Cloud (GCP), and Customer Genome, a holistic offering that helps enterprises build a self-service driven and entity-centric foundation for explorative, predictive and prescriptive analytics.
