    The collaboration between Microsoft and Infosys will offer JG Summit 
seamless implementation and migration to Microsoft Azure cloud platform, to 
develop an agile and robust digital infrastructure for its business processes.  
    
    To enable the digital journey for JG Summit, Infosys will leverage its 
Infrastructure Management Solution Suite, a comprehensive hybrid IT management 
platform to build, adopt and govern hybrid cloud environments, thereby 
enhancing the overall end-user experience. Infosys will implement SAP S/4 HANA 
on Azure, and also deploy Wingspan, its next-gen learning solution, to create a 
culture of learning and collaboration for the employees of JG Summit to help 
them upskill in this journey. 
    
    Lance Y. Gokongwei, President and CEO, JG Summit Holdings, said, "Our 
objective is to embed digitization into our core business strategy across 
units, subsidiaries, and affiliates. Through the partnership with Infosys and 
Microsoft, we aim to accelerate our digital transformation journey which will 
enable us to address evolving business requirements, facilitate easy and secure 
collaboration among employees and offer better service to our end customers."
    
    Karmesh Vaswani, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Consumer, 
Retail & Logistics, Infosys, said, "We are delighted to be selected as the 
strategic partner of JG Summit in their digital transformation journey. 
Leveraging our expertise in digital technologies and a comprehensive 
understanding of the business landscape, we will provide JG Summit a secure, 
scalable and cost-effective hybrid cloud platform for large-scale digital 
transformation and enable a seamless transition to a modern digital workplace. 
The partnership with JG Summit is also aligned to Infosys' strategy of helping 
our clients navigate their next by augmenting their core digital capabilities, 
advancing their operating models and transforming their talent for the future."
    
    Ricky Kapur, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Operations, Microsoft 
Asia Pacific, said "JG Summit is pioneering the way organizations in the 
Philippines should look at their transformation journeys. Many companies don't 
realize that the opportunity cost of not embracing digital technologies like 
Cloud, is a steep decline in productivity and revenue. JG Summit, with Infosys 
and Microsoft, will have a clear strategy and a strong roadmap which will 
enable them to continually develop their unique capabilities, value for 
customers and maintain a competitive advantage in a digital-first world. We're 
excited to be helping them on this path of transformation, as we together, 
enable every organization in the Philippines to achieve more."
