100+ Global Enterprises Take Advantage of Infosys Living Labs to Accelerate their Digital Innovation Agenda
BENGALURU, India, August 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

    Infosys Living Labs is delivering digital innovation as-a-service to help 
them meet next normal consumer expectations

    Infosys (NSE: INFY) (BSE: INFY) (NYSE: INFY) 
[https://www.infosys.com/en.html], a global leader in next-generation digital 
services and consulting, today announced that Infosys Living Labs is driving 
the digital innovation agenda for over 100 global enterprises. With Infosys 
Living Labs, businesses can leverage on-demand multi-tiered digital 
infrastructure, comprising technology, processes, people, and an innovation 
ecosystem. The flexibility to consume these capabilities as modular services on 
tap, over ramping up and down the same capabilities in-house, is compelling for 
enterprises. 

    "Posti has embarked on a transformation journey and Infosys Living Labs, 
with its capabilities in innovation, has been instrumental in helping us 
accelerate this journey," said, Turkka Kuusisto, President and CEO, Posti Group 
Oyj.

    Infosys Living Labs is helping enterprises adapt to new priorities and 
market trends, also enabling them to accelerate their response to these shifts 
with strategic innovations. This is proving to be a critical business 
capability for businesses to drive recovery and growth in the next normal. 
Infosys Living Labs delivers on the promise of:

    Speed: Enterprises are creating the right conditions for rapid 
experimentation and response to market needs by collaborating with Infosys. 
Through Infosys Living Labs, they are kickstarting agile innovation cycles that 
start with instituting listening posts for trendspotting. They are also 
harvesting ready-to-scale innovations from the Infosys innovation ecosystem of 
startup and academia partners. Infosys Living Labs' sandboxes and incubation 
facilities also include shared maker spaces in Infosys global digital centers 
to accelerate the innovation process. A good example is how Infosys Living Labs 
helped an American investment firm spot changing consumer trends in their 
business and build gamified visualizations of retirement savings benefits for 
their customers in our digital center. This human experience delivered 
much-needed upticks in sales for them during the pandemic. 

    Scope: Infosys Living Labs is helping companies expand the breadth of their 
innovation by bringing expertise in emerging technologies, across a global 
footprint, along with cross-industry experience that most corporations seek. 
For example, a mail services company in Europe harnessed Infosys Living Labs to 
build a hyper-efficient parcel sorting mechanism. They co-created, with Infosys 
Living Labs a cloud-powered, IoT-assisted system with central intelligence to 
operate automatically and accurately year-long. It saved them the costs of 
setting up additional sorting facilities during seasonal peaks. 

    Scale: Because solutions that must work at scale must be designed for 
scale, enterprises rely on Infosys Living Labs' proven frameworks and best 
practices to go to market with scaled innovations. They count on Infosys Living 
Labs' talent and technology leverage to help them manage the 
pilot-to-production ramp up smoothly. As an example, a multinational 
distributor of food digitized their complex inbound supply chain with Infosys 
Living Labs. Taking a persona-focused prototype-driven approach to validate the 
various solutions with stakeholders, Infosys meticulously mapped requirements 
to scale the prototype with the capability landscape. In agile sprints, 
executed over the following weeks, the digital solution replaced 20% of the 
legacy landscape, driving 30% productivity improvements.

    Ravi Kumar S, President, Infosys, said, "Digital natives have an incredible 
advantage as the capabilities, skills and culture needed to continuously 
experiment, learn and adapt are intrinsic in their organizational DNA. In 
contrast, incumbent enterprises must digitally transform, and at greater clock 
speed in the next normal. Infosys Living Labs helps them be digital-on-demand 
when their own digitalization is picking up pace and the full benefits of their 
transformation are yet to be realized."

    Infosys Living Labs partners with the venture capital investment arms of 
global enterprises to mutually enrich portfolios of tech innovators on the one 
hand and bring the value of more innovations to more enterprises, on the other.

    "We are excited to partner with Infosys to help our portfolio companies 
scale new heights by providing them access to Infosys' global client base. 
Infosys brings its rich heritage of delivery excellence and Global access to 
our portfolio companies. We are a growth investor in lighthouse technologies 
and Infosys Living Labs provides a great opportunity to bring best in class 
technology innovations to clients while de-risking the adoption of startup 
solutions for Infosys clients," said, Matthew Koertge, Managing Director, 
Telstra Ventures.
