Infosys Nia converges the big data/analytics, machine learning,
knowledge management, and cognitive automation capabilities of Mana;
end-to-end RPA capabilities of AssistEdge; advanced, high-performance

capabilities and infrastructure management services. As a unified,
flexible, and modular platform, Infosys Nia enables a wide set of

build custom experiences to suit their business needs.

Infosys' first-generation AI platform was about IT,
simplification, efficiency and cost. Capabilities included
socialization of organizational knowledge, deep analytics, service
automation, automated incident root cause analysis and others. The
next generation platform, Infosys Nia, tackles break-through business
problems such as forecasting revenues, forecasting what products need
to be built, understanding customer behavior, deeply understanding
the content of contracts and legal documents, understanding
compliance, and fraud.

Infosys Nia can help clients solve a wide variety of business
problems, a few of which are listed below:

- Infosys Nia can improve order-to-cash process by creating a
real-time risk profile to customize the collection strategy,
expedite resolution of disputes, predict anomalies, prevent
disputes, and enable better visibility and forecasting of cash flow
to reduce days sales outstanding (DSO).

cost, while also reducing product development cycle times.

Quotes

Dr. Tom Reuner, Senior Vice-President, HfS Research:

"By leveraging and integrating a broad set of artificial
intelligence technologies, Infosys is supporting customers on their
journey toward business transformation. The modular set up of Infosys
Nia allows for more flexibility when addressing diverse sets of use
cases. On this journey, Infosys' expansive AI and cognitive computing
capabilities provide customers with solutions that put data at the
center of their service delivery strategies. While it might sound
trite, data really is becoming the new currency."

Dr. Vishal Sikka, Chief Executive Officer, Infosys:

"When we launched our knowledge-based AI platform Mana one year
ago, we set out on our path of bringing knowledge, data and
automation, together with our services to our clients as never
before. We have seen tremendous adoption, and indeed, a massive
embrace of Mana by our clients, particularly in leveraging Mana to
improve service delivery and drive efficiencies and cost performance
through automation. But we could clearly see that there was much more
potential, an unlimited potential, in bringing AI to our clients'
most sophisticated and complex business problems, as they work toward
a vision of bringing technology to every aspect of their businesses.
Nia, the next generation of our AI platform now takes our purposeful
approach to AI, one in which technology serves to amplify people and
empowers them to work in new ways, to new heights. When we bring this
together with our unmatched ability to educate and train in AI
techniques and emerging technologies, we now have the platform, the
services and the skills, to deliver new unprecedented value to our
clients."

Infosys Nia is available to order immediately.
