Infosys Partners with Spark NZ to Boost Digital and AI Capabilities

Infosys and Spark New Zealand have announced a strategic agreement aimed at transforming Spark’s technology delivery model through advanced digital innovation.  

Leveraging AI and Cloud for Enhanced Efficiency 

The collaboration will leverage Infosys Topaz, an AI-first suite of services and platforms driven by generative AI technologies, and Infosys Cobalt, which supports enterprises in accelerating their cloud journeys. This partnership is expected to help Spark reduce IT operating costs while enabling faster rollout of digital and AI-powered customer experiences. 

Local Talent Retention and Global Expertise 

As part of the deal, Infosys will provide its global software engineering and DevOps expertise to support the development, testing, integration, and delivery of Spark’s systems and applications. Infosys will also offer ongoing monitoring and technical support. Despite the outsourcing of some operational functions, Spark will continue to own its IT assets and retain control over its technology architecture, product innovation, and business application strategies. 

A key aspect of the agreement is Infosys’ commitment to bolstering its local workforce in New Zealand. This move is intended to ensure that critical knowledge, regional expertise, and support capabilities remain within the country, enhancing collaboration and responsiveness.
