Infosys to partner with GE Digital for grid transformation solutions

Work will help operators realise a more reliable and sustainable grid, say companies

IT services firm Infosys on Tuesday announced a strategic collaboration with GE Digital, the US conglomerate’s software division, to accelerate grid transformation in utilities.

GE Digital and Infosys will together follow an approach to deliver solutions for grid-related products and services for their new and existing clients.

The two companies will jointly bring these solutions for the utilities industry to help operators realise a more reliable, resilient, and sustainable grid. The work will be driven by a software platform and a suite of intelligent applications that bring together energy data, network modeling, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Infosys has an eighteen-year relationship with GE that includes collaboration in innovative technology for energy transition.

Infosys will build a GE Digital Center of Excellence (CoE) TO bring in best practices in service delivery. Infosys will also invest in accelerators to integrate the GE platform and application suite into enterprise ecosystems and address client specific requirements.

Infosys will bring in digital capabilities in areas like AI, Cloud, cybersecurity and industrial internet of things (IoT) to support utility transformation.

“Our collaboration with Infosys will help accelerate adoption of grid software that bridges these disciplines, equipping the next generation of grid operators with the tools they need to keep the grid stable, resilient, and sustainable,” said Mahesh Sudhakaran, General Manager, GE Digital Grid Software.

“Through our GE Digital Center of Excellence, we plan to bring product depth, scale, and service delivery best practices to this rapidly growing market.
