Pioneering Software Development and Modernization
Infosys, a global leader in AI-driven business consulting, announced a strategic partnership with OpenAI on April 23, 2026, to accelerate the transformation of enterprise AI. This collaboration aims to utilise OpenAI’s advanced AI models and products, like Codex, to enhance software development and modernization for enterprises globally. Infosys plans to integrate OpenAI’s technology with its Infosys Topaz Fabric, a comprehensive suite of agentic services. This integration is intended to help businesses transition from AI experimentation to practical deployment with measurable outcomes. High-impact areas such as software engineering, DevOps automation, e-commerce, and other engineering-led domains are the focus.
Infosys is uniquely positioned to help organisations modernise development workflows, improve engineering productivity, and reduce time-to-market. Infosys’s vast industry expertise and global delivery scale across application modernization, software engineering, and enterprise transformation are key to this initiative. The collaboration will enable organisations to deploy Codex in real delivery environments effectively.
Denise Dresser, Chief Revenue Officer at OpenAI, stated, “Codex is becoming a powerful workspace for managing agents across software development and business workflows. As enterprises quickly adopt Codex, we are collaborating with leading partners like Infosys to assist more organisations in transitioning from early usage to repeatable deployment.”
Infosys’s Pivotal Role in the Collaboration
Infosys leverages its extensive expertise in application modernization and enterprise transformation to redesign workflows and strengthen engineering execution. This partnership aims to guide enterprises from initial AI experimentation to scaled, responsible adoption. Salil Parekh, CEO of Infosys, commented, “Generative and Agentic AI will redefine how enterprises operate and grow. Our collaboration with OpenAI establishes an operating model to unlock AI value at scale, uniting technology, talent, and transformation playbooks so clients can move decisively from pilots to performance.”
The partnership emphasises key areas such as legacy code modernization, code review automation, and vulnerability detection. These efforts fortify Infosys’s position in transforming large-scale software environments. As the partnership progresses, Codex is anticipated to extend its impact to broader systems and workflows globally, enabling organisations to modernise development workflows, improve engineering productivity, and reduce time-to-market.
By combining Codex, workflow automation, and prebuilt agents with Infosys’s poly-AI architecture and enterprise governance, the collaboration is designed to help organisations achieve practical and responsible AI deployment. This initiative is expected to create competitive advantages for businesses by accelerating delivery and enhancing overall efficiency.
