LONDON, Dec. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Infosys (NSE: INFY) (BSE: INFY) (NYSE: INFY), a global
leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, has
announced a strategic collaboration with the Financial Times (FT),
one of the world's leading business news organizations. As the
Digital Innovation Partner for the FT, Infosys will leverage
digital innovation to support the latest creative and engaging
data-led storytelling experiences for FT's readers, which include
some of the world's most influential decision makers.
This new digital innovation collaboration brings together the
FT's unparalleled expertise and insight with Infosys' domain and
technology capabilities to help deliver creative and immersive
journalism through digital channels. The FT, already a leader in
using technology to enhance user experience, is prioritizing
engaging digital techniques to bring readers closer to the stories
that matter most to them. Among the banner projects the two
companies will work on together in 2022 is a climate change-related
simulation. This will take inspiration from an earlier newsroom
innovation that was a strong hit with readers: the Uber Game. Here
readers were put in the driving seat, immersed directly into the
business model of Uber.
The FT and Infosys teams will also develop a 'crossword app',
digitizing one of the most loved and traditional puzzle features of
the FT for its global following. The publication's crosswords have
a loyal following that stretches back decades, and through
this partnership it will now be available to a much wider global
audience in an engaging digital format for the first time.
James Lamont, Director of
Strategic Partnerships said: "Our readers expect the best from
the FT and we are experimenting with exciting digital ways to bring
stories and features to a wider audience. With Infosys' help, we
can use technology better and faster to deliver Editorial features
in more enterprising and eye-catching ways. The expertise Infosys
provides to these newsroom projects will help foster a spirit of
innovation and reader service that supports our mission to delight
and inform the FT's audience."
Ashiss Kumar Dash, EVP and Segment Head - Services,
Utilities, Resources, Energy at Infosys, emphasized: "Enhancing
in-depth journalism from the FT with the power of digital
technology from Infosys offers an exciting opportunity for the
global news audience and has the potential to set a new standard
for news delivery. We are delighted to become the digital
innovation partner of an organization consistently recognized as
the world's most iconic, credible and influential news brand and
look forward to providing exciting new technology solutions."
