Infosys has announced the successful completion of a major data modernization program for CSX Corporation, a leading rail-based freight transportation company. The transformation represents one of the largest deployments of its kind in the transportation and logistics sector.

Comprehensive Platform Transformation

The modernization effort consolidated CSX's fragmented data landscape into a unified cloud-native platform using Infosys Topaz, Microsoft Fabric, and Microsoft Purview. Infosys led the end-to-end transformation, replacing legacy systems with a single, governed data environment designed to improve decision-making, accelerate reporting, and reduce operational costs.

Significant Business Impact

The transformation delivered substantial operational improvements for CSX Corporation. The initiative achieved significant annual infrastructure savings while establishing a foundation for predictive analytics, logistics optimization, and enterprise-wide operational intelligence. The modernization saved thousands of hours through automation and enabled real-time intelligence across the organization.

John Maio, AVP, Enterprise Data & Analytics, CSX Corporation, emphasized the transformational impact: "By modernizing our reporting and analytics platform with Microsoft Fabric, we've consolidated over 50,000 legacy reports into just 1,200 actionable insights, empowering our teams with real-time intelligence and AI-driven decision-making."

Strategic Technology Partnership

The initiative leveraged the strategic collaboration between Infosys and Microsoft, including joint participation in design and architecture planning with early access to Microsoft Fabric features. The implementation utilized Infosys Topaz, an AI-first set of services, solutions and platforms using generative AI technologies.

Arun Ulag, President, Azure Data, Microsoft, highlighted the platform's capabilities: "CSX's journey with Infosys Topaz exemplifies the power of Microsoft Fabric to unify and modernize enterprise data estates at scale. By leveraging Microsoft Fabric's intelligent, agentic data platform and robust governance capabilities, CSX has accelerated time-to-insight and enabled real-time analytics across critical business domains."

Future-Ready Data Foundation

The modernized platform positions CSX for advanced analytics capabilities and AI-driven operations. The transformation established a data-driven culture across the organization while creating opportunities for predictive maintenance, logistics optimization, and operational efficiency improvements.

Karmesh Vaswani, EVP & Global Head, Consumer, Retail & Logistics, Infosys, noted the strategic significance: "By leveraging Microsoft Fabric and our Infosys Topaz offerings, we delivered a unified, governed data platform that empowers CSX to anticipate disruptions, optimize operations, elevate customer experience and improve employee productivity."

This successful implementation demonstrates Infosys' capability in delivering large-scale digital transformation projects and reinforces its position as a leader in next-generation digital services and consulting across the transportation and logistics sector.

Infosys Limited has announced a strategic collaboration with Anthropic, an AI safety and research company, to develop advanced enterprise AI solutions across multiple regulated industries. The partnership, announced on February 17, 2026, aims to deliver transformational AI value beyond efficiency gains by combining deep industry expertise with frontier AI technology.

Strategic Collaboration Framework

The collaboration integrates Anthropic's Claude models, including Claude Code, with Infosys Topaz AI offerings to help enterprises automate complex workflows, accelerate software delivery, and adopt AI with the governance and transparency that regulated industries require. The partnership will launch in telecommunications with a dedicated Anthropic Center of Excellence before expanding across financial services, manufacturing, and software development sectors.

Agentic AI Solutions Across Industries

A core focus of the collaboration will be agentic AI systems that go beyond answering questions to independently handling multi-step tasks like processing claims, generating and testing code, or managing compliance reviews. Using tools like the Claude Agent SDK, Infosys and Anthropic will help clients build AI agents that can work persistently across long, complex processes rather than one-off interactions.

The partnership will develop custom AI agents tailored to specific industries:

• Telecommunications: AI agents will modernize network operations, streamline customer lifecycle management, and improve service delivery in operationally complex and heavily regulated environments
• Financial Services: AI agents will detect and assess risk faster, automate compliance reporting, and deliver personalized customer interactions based on full account history and market conditions
• Manufacturing and Engineering: Claude will accelerate product design and simulation, reducing R&D timelines and enabling more iterations before production
• Software Development: Teams will use Claude Code to write, test, and debug code, helping developers move faster from design through production

Leadership Perspectives

Dario Amodei, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Anthropic, emphasized the importance of domain expertise in bridging the gap between AI demos and regulated industry applications. He highlighted Infosys's expertise across telecommunications, financial services, and manufacturing as crucial for creating AI agents that demand precision, compliance, and deep domain knowledge.

Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer of Infosys, described the collaboration as a strategic leap toward advancing enterprise AI, enabling organizations to unlock value and become more intelligent, resilient, and responsible. He emphasized the goal of leveraging joint expertise to accelerate AI value realization for global enterprises across various sectors.

Implementation and Modernization Focus

The collaboration will also help organizations modernize legacy systems by combining Infosys Topaz and Claude to accelerate migration and reduce the cost of updating aging infrastructure. Infosys is already deploying Claude Code within its own Exponential Engineering organization, building internal expertise and best practices that will directly inform client engagements.

The partnership represents a commitment to ensuring AI drives real transformational value by reimagining the enterprise operating model through the combination of deep industry expertise, frontier AI, and engineering scale into one unified approach.
