With this deal, Infosys expects to offer AI-powered cloud and digital transformation for healthcare providers.

Salil Parekh, Chief Executive Officer, Infosys, added, “By bringing together Optimum’s provider experience with Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt, we are positioned to create a differentiated value proposition for healthcare providers – accelerating end–to–end cloud, data, and digital transformation at scale.”

Stratus Buyout

Also, the company bought Stratus, which is a technology solutions provider for the property and casualty insurance industry. The acquisition price is up to $95 million, including upfront payment and earnouts.

The company expects the acquisition to close in the first quarter of FY 2027, subject to closing conditions.

The acquisition is anticipated to strengthen Infosys’ leadership in the insurance sector, leveraging Stratus’ expertise in Guidewire Software and its capabilities in data transformation for global P&C insurers.

The integration of Stratus’ technology consulting with Infosys’ existing offerings is expected to enhance their ability to support insurers in core modernization and cloud adoption.

This acquisition aligns with the growing demand for AI solutions in the insurance industry, particularly in areas like claims automation and risk modeling.

Kannan Amaresh, SVP & Head of Insurance, Infosys, said, “AI is fundamentally transforming the global insurance industry, strengthening decision-making across underwriting, claims, and fraud detection, while making systems intelligent and significantly improving operational efficiency. The P&C segment is leading AI adoption in the insurance sector, driven by the need for claims automation, advanced underwriting, and sophisticated risk modeling amid claim volumes and elevated risks exposure. Infosys is unlocking AI value for P&C insurers through digital and data-led transformation.”
