Infosys today announced a collaboration with GE Digital–the US-based conglomerate’s software division to accelerate grid transformation for the utilities sector.

The tenure and size of the contract was not disclosed.

GE Digital and Infosys will jointly bring innovative and scalable solutions to the utilities industry to accelerate grid transformation for their new and existing clients, according to an exchange filing.

The solutions will help grid operators realise a more reliable and sustainable grid.

This will be driven by a grid orchestration software platform and a suite of intelligent applications that bring together energy data, network modeling, and artificial intelligence, the filing said.

“This engagement builds on Infosys’ eighteen-year relationship with GE, that includes collaboration on innovative technology crucial for energy transition,” the filing added.

Infosys will build a GE Digital Center of Excellence to expand the talent pool for the GE GridOS portfolio and bring in best practices in service delivery. The company will also invest in accelerators to integrate the GE platform and application suite into enterprise ecosystems and address client specific requirements. In addition, it will bring in digital capabilities in areas like AI, Cloud, Cybersecurity and Industrial IoT to support utility transformation.

“Through our GE Digital Center of Excellence, we plan to bring product depth, scale, and service delivery best practices to this rapidly growing market. With a comprehensive understanding of utility business requirements and challenges, we look forward to leveraging our technological prowess and domain expertise to enable this transformation as part of this 360-degree collaboration,” said Ashiss Dash, EVP & global head of Services, Utilities, Resources and Energy at Infosys.
