Infosys, a global frontrunner in next-generation digital services and consulting, has entered into a strategic multi-year partnership with STARK Group, Europe’s leading retailer and distributor of building materials. The collaboration will focus on advancing STARK Group’s digital transformation journey by leveraging Infosys Topaz, an AI-first suite of services and platforms. The deal also involves the establishment of a cutting-edge data center in Denmark that aims to provide technological support and services to STARK Group’s European offices.

Infosys to Empower STARK Group with AI-Driven Efficiencies

An ‘AI-first’ approach, powered by Infosys Topaz, will be central to this partnership. The collaboration aims to elevate STARK Group’s operational efficiencies and service quality through AI-driven technologies. Infosys will also employ its cloud-enabled Live Enterprise Application Management Platform (LEAP) as part of its Cobalt suite to automate STARK Group’s IT operations, aiming for continual improvements and innovations.

Pernille Geneser, Group CIO, STARK Group, said, “We at STARK Group are excited to announce our collaboration with Infosys as we embark on a transformation journey to deliver state-of-the-art and future-fit IT services to our colleagues in the Nordics, Austria, Germany and UK. With Infosys’ expertise, we look forward to enhancing the quality of our offerings and kickstarting many new innovations.”

A Boost to Infosys’ Presence in the Nordics Region

Karmesh Vaswani, EVP & Global Head Retail, Consumer Goods & Logistics, Infosys, added, “We are thrilled to embark on this transformative multi-year collaboration with the STARK Group, aimed at driving digital transformation. Leveraging our cutting-edge technologies, including Infosys Topaz and our cloud-enabled platform LEAP, we are confident that this collaboration will bring unparalleled value and innovation to Stark Group. Together, we look forward to shaping a future of success, growth, and shared achievements in the digital landscape.”

The new relationship with STARK Group boosts Infosys’ growing prominence in the Nordics region. It comes on the heels of Infosys’ strategic collaboration with Danske Bank and past acquisitions like BASE Life Science in Denmark and Fluido in Finland.

Objectives and Future Prospects

The partnership seeks to improve cost and operation efficiency for STARK Group and help them scale across multiple geographies. This collaborative endeavor also exemplifies Infosys’ commitment to accelerating digital transformation for clients in the Nordics region and beyond.

This strategic collaboration is set to provide a comprehensive solution to STARK Group, allowing the company to capitalize on AI technologies and cloud-enabled platforms for enhanced efficiency, quality, and geographical expansion. It marks another step in Infosys’ ongoing commitment to driving digital transformation across industries.
