Infosys, Harness partner to automate AI-driven software delivery for enterprises

Infosys, an IT services provider, and Harness, a San Francisco-based software delivery platform company, have entered a strategic collaboration to automate software delivery for large enterprises using AI, the two companies announced Tuesday.

The tie-up combines Infosys' Topaz Fabric and Cobalt platforms with the Harness Software Delivery Platform. The goal is to reduce the time and manual effort it takes for software to move from code to production, a process that currently involves testing, security checks, deployment, and compliance steps, most of which remain fragmented and manual at many organizations.

Engineering teams at large companies typically spend a disproportionate share of their time on these downstream activities rather than building. That lag creates delays in releases and raises operational risk, particularly in regulated industries. The partnership targets that gap directly by applying AI across the software delivery lifecycle.

Harness brings what it calls delivery intelligence, AI that draws on real-world signals to help enterprises deploy software in a more governed and auditable way. When layered onto Infosys Cobalt's cloud infrastructure, the combined system is designed to work across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer, Infosys, said, “As AI accelerates change, enterprises need delivery systems that are faster, more reliable, and governed by design. Our collaboration with Harness combines Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt offerings to help clients unlock AI value and translate their AI ambition into scalable, reliable execution, with trust and governance built in.”

Jyoti Bansal, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Harness, said, “By bringing Harness’s intelligent delivery platform together with Infosys’ deep enterprise expertise, we’re helping organizations deliver AI-driven software innovation with greater speed, predictability, and control.”
