    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,

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."
