The Azure Intelligent App Factory is strategically centred on promoting the implementation of generative AI, enabled by Azure OpenAI Service. This initiative spans across various industries, including consumer products, life sciences, financial services, manufacturing, and telecommunications.
The suite boasts an extensive array of enterprise-ready use cases designed to demonstrate the business value of generative AI. By fine tuning language models with proprietary company data and industry-specific information, it can deliver dependable and scalable outputs, empowering firms to develop solutions specific to their distinct business requirements.
Notably, Capgemini is not the first enterprise level organisation to partner with Microsoft since generative AI has become the buzzword for the tech town. Leading firms Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), HCLTech, Accenture and Moody’s have recently strengthened their ties with the company behind Bing, Microsoft.Fascinatingly, another leading Indian IT giant Infosys, along with a few other parties including Elon Musk, AWS and others donated $1 billion to OpenAI. Two months ago the company announced Topaz — an AI-first set of services, solutions and platforms using generative AI with 12,000 use cases.
