Positioning

Tech Data enables infrastructure and cloud partners like Infosys to accelerate AI platform delivery at global scale. We aggregate best-of-breed vendors (Dell, NVIDIA, Adobe) that align with your Topaz/Cobalt ecosystem and provide cloud marketplace automation so your teams can provision multi-vendor stacks faster for banking, manufacturing, and enterprise clients.

Position around speed-to-production for AI infrastructure and reducing multi-cloud complexity.

04 · What to pitch

Pitches

Advanced Solutions

You're scaling AI infrastructure for Topaz delivery (ExxonMobil data center partnership, NVIDIA acceleration) - we give you single-source access to Dell enterprise servers, NVIDIA GPU compute, hybrid cloud platforms, and cybersecurity gear so your infrastructure teams can provision client environments in days, not procurement cycles.

Cloud Services & StreamOne

Your Cobalt platform manages multi-cloud deployments for hundreds of clients, but provisioning AWS, Azure, GCP, and SaaS subscriptions manually creates deployment inconsistency - StreamOne automates multi-vendor cloud provisioning and billing so your teams deliver the 'consistent hybrid deployment' promised in your Harness collaboration.

Partner Enablement Programs

You're training 300k+ employees on AI platforms for Topaz delivery - our Destination AI and Practice Builder programs co-deliver vendor-led enablement (NVIDIA, Dell, Adobe) to accelerate technical readiness for your Centers of Excellence and client-facing engineers like Sathvik's team.

Conversation arc

open
Anchor on Infosys's public AI-first pivot and establish Tech Data's role in infrastructure enablement

“Sathvik, I saw your Harness and Anthropic announcements this spring - you're clearly moving fast on enterprise AI delivery. I work with infrastructure and cloud teams at service providers who are scaling AI platforms like Topaz, and I wanted to share how we're helping them provision hybrid infrastructure and cloud services faster. Does that resonate with what you're working on?”

discover
Uncover specific infrastructure, cloud tooling, or vendor access bottlenecks in Topaz/Cobalt delivery

“Walk me through how your teams today get access to GPU compute, storage, or multi-cloud subscriptions when a new Topaz client engagement kicks off. Where do you hit friction - is it procurement lead time, vendor coordination, or provisioning consistency across AWS and Azure?”

present
Show how Tech Data's vendor aggregation and StreamOne cloud marketplace solve multi-cloud and infrastructure scaling pain

“Here's where we help teams like yours: our Advanced Solutions portfolio gives you one-stop access to Dell enterprise infrastructure, NVIDIA AI compute, and hybrid cloud gear your Cobalt practice needs, and our StreamOne cloud marketplace automates multi-vendor cloud provisioning and billing so you can spin up AWS, Azure, and SaaS subscriptions for clients without manual vendor coordination. That maps directly to your Harness integration goal of consistent hybrid deployment.”

objection
Address likely pushback on existing vendor relationships or internal procurement processes

“I hear you - you've got vendor relationships in place. The value isn't replacing them; it's speed and flexibility for net-new AI workloads where you don't want to renegotiate terms or wait on procurement cycles. We work with service providers who use us as the fast-path option for project-based infrastructure and cloud subscriptions, especially when clients have tight go-live timelines.”

close
Secure next step with Infosys infrastructure procurement or cloud practice leads

“Let's set up a 30-minute technical session with your infrastructure or cloud procurement team to walk through a specific Topaz client scenario - say a banking AI deployment - and show exactly how we'd streamline the vendor and subscription stack. Who on your side owns infrastructure vendor strategy or cloud marketplace tooling?”

06 · Discovery

Ask these

  1. Q1When you onboard a new Topaz AI client - like the recent banking engagements you've announced - how long does it typically take to provision the underlying infrastructure (GPU servers, storage, hybrid cloud) and multi-cloud subscriptions (AWS, Azure, SAP)? Where do delays usually come from: vendor negotiations, internal procurement, or technical integration?
  2. Q2Your Harness collaboration targets consistent deployment across hybrid and multi-cloud environments - are your delivery teams today using a single cloud marketplace or provisioning tool to manage subscriptions across AWS, Azure, and GCP, or is it fragmented by vendor? What would change if you could automate that through one platform?

Feasibility

Advanced Solutions
high
Infosys is scaling AI infrastructure globally (ExxonMobil data center cooling partnership, NVIDIA GPU acceleration) and needs enterprise servers, storage, networking, and hybrid cloud infrastructure to support Topaz AI platform delivery at 330k+ employee scale
Cloud Services & StreamOne
high
Infosys Cobalt manages multi-cloud deployments (AWS, Azure, GCP) for hundreds of enterprise clients and needs consistent cloud billing, provisioning automation, and multi-vendor subscription management to scale AI service delivery
Edge Solutions
medium
With 330,000+ employees across 150 buildings globally, Infosys has ongoing end-user device refresh needs, though likely commoditized procurement with existing supplier relationships
Security Services
medium
As service provider handling sensitive client data across banking/financial sectors, Infosys requires robust cybersecurity assessments and implementation support, though likely has mature internal security practice
Partner Enablement Programs
medium
Infosys is training 300k+ employees on AI/cloud platforms and building Centers of Excellence for client delivery; could benefit from vendor-led AI enablement programs to accelerate Topaz/Cobalt deployment expertise
Specialized Solutions
low
No public signals of CAD/CAM, AR/VR, or component-level needs; Infosys focuses on enterprise software services rather than design/manufacturing workflows
Financial Solutions
low
Infosys is cash-rich (18,000 crore buyback announced) with strong balance sheet; no evidence of financing constraints or need for distributor trade credit

Strongest fit is infrastructure and cloud enablement to support Infosys's AI-first transformation and multi-cloud client delivery model.

FAQs

They say

We already have direct relationships with Dell, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and AWS - why would we add a distributor layer?

You say

You're right to leverage those relationships for strategic deals. Where we add value is speed and flexibility for project-based, client-specific infrastructure needs - especially net-new AI workloads where you don't want to extend existing MSAs or wait on procurement. Service providers use us as the fast-path option: you get vendor diversity (we carry 100+ vendors beyond your core partners), financing flexibility, and StreamOne's multi-cloud automation without renegotiating enterprise agreements. Think of us as the variable-speed layer for Topaz client engagements that don't fit your standard vendor templates.
