Infosys and Harness Announce Strategic Collaboration for AI-Led Enterprise Transformation
Infosys, a global leader in AI-first business consulting and technology services, and Harness, the AI Software Delivery Platform company, have announced a strategic collaboration. The partnership aims to accelerate agentic AI-led software delivery transformation for enterprises globally.This collaboration integrates the combined capabilities of Infosys Topaz Fabric and Infosys Cobalt with the Harness Software Delivery Platform. The goal is to drive improvements across productivity, software engineering, AI governance, and time-to-market at scale for modernization and transformation programs.
Infosys Topaz Fabric is described as a purpose-built agentic services suite, functioning as a multi-layer AI fabric that unifies infrastructure, models, data, applications, and workflows into a composable, agent-ready ecosystem. Industry teams often allocate significant time to downstream activities, including testing, deployment, security, governance, reliability, and cost optimization, which can rely on manual and fragmented processes, slowing releases and increasing operational risk.
Together, Infosys and Harness plan to address these challenges by standardizing and automating the entire path from code to production by applying AI to every stage following code across the software delivery lifecycle. The partnership brings context-aware intelligence and automation into software delivery, offering integrated solutions for complex, high-scale, and regulated environments.
Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer of Infosys, stated, "As AI accelerates change, enterprises need delivery systems that are faster, more reliable, and governed by design. Our collaboration with Harness combines Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt offerings to help clients unlock AI value and translate their AI ambition into scalable, reliable execution - with trust and governance built in. Together, we are enabling a more disciplined path from innovation to production, embedding security, compliance, and resilience into how software is delivered across complex environments. This is an important step in helping enterprises adopt AI responsibly, accelerate outcomes, and sustain long-term advantage."
Jyoti Bansal, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Harness, noted the challenge known as the AI Velocity Paradox. "As AI accelerates code generation, the real challenge for enterprises is ensuring that innovation reaches production safely and efficiently. This creates what we call the AI Velocity Paradox : development speeds up, but downstream processes like testing, security, compliance, and deployment struggle to keep pace - introducing new risk and complexity. By bringing Harness's intelligent delivery platform together with Infosys' deep enterprise expertise, we're helping organizations deliver AI-driven software innovation with greater speed, predictability, and control."
