Infosys set to earn over $100 million in Coca Cola-Microsoft cloud deal
Bengaluru: Infosys is set to earn over $100 million as a key partner in a $1.1 billion cloud migration deal between Coca-Cola and Microsoft, according to an Economic Times report.
This agreement, finalized in April, underscores the increasing involvement of Indian IT service providers in major global technology initiatives.
In a regulatory filing, Coca-Cola Euro Pacific Partners PLC, a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company, disclosed a commitment of €167 million to Microsoft for Azure cloud migration services over a six-year period, with an additional €25 million earmarked for Infosys as a supporting partner. This collaboration highlights the growing strategic significance of cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for Indian IT firms, particularly when working alongside global tech leaders like Microsoft.
The Coca-Cola-Microsoft partnership, announced in April, represents a five-year collaboration designed to align Coca-Cola’s core technology strategy with cutting-edge innovations, enhancing global productivity.
As part of this alliance, Coca-Cola has committed $1.1 billion to Microsoft Cloud and its generative AI capabilities, with plans to explore new technologies like Azure OpenAI Service to create innovative AI solutions across various business functions.
Meanwhile, regulatory filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have disclosed that Infosys is expected to earn over $27 million from its involvement in the Euro Pacific region alone.
The report indicates that if Infosys expands its services to other areas covered by the global deal, its total earnings could surpass $100 million. Additionally, IT service providers like Infosys typically capture around 15-20 percent of cloud migration deals. Infosys’s role in this deal follows its announcement of a partnership with Microsoft in September last year to support enterprises in adopting an AI-first approach.
