customer relevance. Infosys is partnering with us to deliver the cloud data and
analytics blueprint by seamlessly bringing together their partner ecosystem,
providing technical expertise and solution assets to execute on our strategy.

acceleration using technologies like cloud," said Lance Y. Gokongwei, President
and CEO, JG Summit Holdings, Inc. "As one of the largest and most diversified
Filipino conglomerates, our vision is to be the leading digital business in
Philippines. We are leveraging Infosys Cobalt to set up a secure and scalable
hybrid cloud environment and transform our business using SAP S/4HANA.

"Cloud provides a platform for businesses to move at speed," said Peter

and associated complexities. In many cases this new operating model is proving
difficult to master and is slow to yield the competitive advantages it promises.
Infosys Cobalt is an effective antidote to these complexities and challenges and
allows clients to focus on capturing the business results at speed that the move
to cloud promised."

multi-cloud approach across public and private clouds, to design, launch, and

organizations rapidly develop the business solutions they need today while also
leveraging a vibrant cloud community to continue to innovate for the future.
Such capabilities are a critical part of growing business resilience through
digital transformation."
