Infosys Collaborates With Microsoft to Accelerate Digital Transformation and Innovation in Smart Buildings & Spaces

Redmond, Washington and Bengaluru, India (ots/PRNewswire) -
Infosys (http://www.infosys.com/) (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in
next-generation digital services and consulting, today announced a
collaboration with Microsoft to deliver smart buildings and spaces
(SB&S) solutions for the architecture, engineering, construction,
facilities management and real estate development markets. Leveraging
the latest digital technologies, the solutions aim to improve the
entire lifecycle of building construction and operations, and the
user experiences of those that manage and work in buildings.

The collaboration will benefit from Microsoft Azure services, and
sensor enabled devices along with Infosys' global network of
innovation hubs, experience design and expertise in building
connected ecosystems to develop SB&S solutions that will improve
energy efficiencies, optimize space utilization, enable higher people
productivity and deliver differentiated user experiences. Built on
Azure, IoT and intelligent cloud and edge technologies, the solutions
will include building system monitoring, analysis and predictive
maintenance, building occupancy and space utilization analytics, as
well as enhanced owner, operator, and tenant experiences.

The first solution from this strategic collaboration, uses a rich
set of Microsoft technologies supporting Infosys' proprietary SCALE
(Sustainable-Connected-Affordable-Livable-Experiential) framework for
smart buildings. This solution for Smart Building Management enables
building automation, monitoring and control of operational assets to
drive efficiencies across building energy, water, lighting and
acoustical systems by using an integrated command center that
optimizes these resources though predictive analytics. The solution
augments human intelligence with AI to dramatically reduce costs and
help accelerate the design of digital workspaces that respond to
human activity and significantly improve comfort and productivity
while transforming living and working spaces to sustainable, purpose
driven, environments.

As part of this announcement Infosys and Microsoft will open an
Innovation Lab in Redmond that will focus on developing and
co-creating new solutions for SB&S that cross industries. This Lab
will be an extension of the Infosys Smart Workplace Hub in
Indianapolis and will focus on each company's cross-industry
experiences in emerging technologies to incubate ideas, co-create
physical assets and prototypes, establish frameworks and guidelines
for the domain, and the development of a partner ecosystem for SB&S
solutions.

Corey Glickman, Vice President & Head - Strategic Design
Consulting, Infosys, said, "Physical spaces and buildings are the
latest in adopting Digital Transformation. We are excited to have
Microsoft as a partner in creating market leading solutions in
real-estate management and services built on Microsoft technologies.

edge to fuse mature and emerging technologies to incubate space
changing offerings that we can then begin to deploy at scale."

energized by this new collaboration with Infosys. It combines the
incredible work we have done on energy smart buildings, space
optimization and planning and workplace analytics with the strength
and reach of Infosys' expertise in solution design and systems
integration to unlock new accelerated business value for our joint
