Infosys is set to rake in over $100 million as a key supporting partner in Coca-Cola's $1.1 billion cloud migration deal with Microsoft. This partnership, announced in April, involves Coca-Cola migrating its operations to Microsoft's Azure cloud platform, with Infosys playing a significant role in the process.
Coca-Cola’s $1.1 billion cloud migration deal with Microsoft is a five-year strategic partnership aims to accelerate Coca-Cola’s adoption of cloud and generative AI technologies. The collaboration will leverage Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform and its generative AI capabilities.
This deal highlights the growing importance of cloud and AI technologies for global enterprises and underscores the strategic role Indian IT service providers like Infosys play in these major technology transformations.
Coca-Cola plans to migrate its applications and workloads to Microsoft Azure. This includes exploring innovative AI use cases across various business functions, such as marketing, manufacturing, and supply chain management. The partnership will focus on developing and testing new AI-powered solutions, including the Azure OpenAI Service and Copilot for Microsoft 365. These technologies are expected to enhance workplace productivity, streamline operations, and foster innovation.
Coca-Cola's European subsidiary, Coca-Cola Euro Pacific Partners PLC, disclosed in a recent filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it has committed €25 million (approximately $27 million) to Infosys for cloud migration services in the Euro Pacific region.
Given Infosys' involvement in this and potentially other geographies, industry experts partner e the company could surpass the $100 million mark from the broader Coca-Cola–Microsoft deal.
Coca-Cola’s migration to the Azure cloud will involve its core operations and major independent bottling partners worldwide. This move is part of a broader effort to align Coca-Cola’s technology strategy with cutting-edge innovations.
Infosys is a key supporting partner in this deal, earning over $100 million for its role in the migration process. Infosys will assist with cloud strategy, migration execution, application modernization, security, and ongoing support.
Post-migration, Infosys will provide ongoing support and optimization services to ensure that Coca-Cola’s cloud environment remains efficient, secure, and cost-effective.
