As a result, aligning business priorities with alliance partners will allow IT services companies and consultancies to develop a more empathetic approach to technology-fatigued buyers. Additionally, understanding pricing and commercial structures backed by common knowledge management programs will elevate the value of joint services and appeal to enterprise buyers’ appreciation of a separation of labor, supported by greater transparency and accountability.

01.21.25

Developing a client-ready AI-first portfolio is not a strategy unique to Infosys, but keeping pace with the rapidly evolving generative AI (GenAI) market highlights the company’s appetite for innovation and helps it strengthen stakeholder trust.
