India’s second largest IT services firm Infosys, on Tuesday, announced a strategic collaboration with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), the largest bank in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This multi-year collaboration aims to optimise and modernise FAB's IT infrastructure services.
As part of this collaboration, Infosys will leverage Infosys Cobalt, a comprehensive suite of services, solutions, and platforms, to expedite FAB's cloud journey. By leveraging Infosys Cobalt, Infosys will deliver cutting-edge infrastructure-managed services, including service desk capabilities, to transform FAB's IT infrastructure.
Infosys will integrate a range of enterprise tools to enhance FAB's service quality, mitigate risks, and drive positive business outcomes. These tools include AI and ML-based automation for self-healing and self-help capabilities, proactive monitoring and observability for improved infrastructure resilience, and blueprint-based environment provisioning to expedite time to market.

Headquartered in Abu Dhabi with a strategic global footprint across 20 markets, FAB is the finance and trade gateway to the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA).
