Infosys expands AI, Cloud insurance capabilities through Stratus deal

Infosys has announced a definitive agreement to acquire U.S.-based Stratus Technologies , marking a strategic move to strengthen its capabilities in AI-led digital and data transformation for the global insurance industry. The acquisition, expected to close in the first quarter of FY2027 subject to regulatory approvals, will deepen Infosys’ presence in the fast-evolving property and casualty (P&C) insurance segment, where artificial intelligence is increasingly driving automation, risk modeling, and operational efficiency.

Stratus, headquartered in the United States, brings more than 450 professionals with strong domain expertise and is a key partner of Guidewire Software . The company delivers end-to-end services across core insurance platforms such as PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter, and BillingCenter, along with cloud migration, data transformation, and managed services. With operations spanning the U.S., Canada, and India, Stratus has built a reputation for enabling faster, scalable transformations for insurers through industry-specific accelerators and frameworks.

Infosys said the acquisition will combine Stratus’ deep consulting and platform expertise with its own AI and cloud offerings, including Infosys Topaz and Infosys Cobalt, to help insurers modernize legacy systems, adopt cloud technologies, and enhance customer experience. The deal also expands Infosys’ access to new clients and global markets within the insurance ecosystem.

The move is notable given Infosys’ traditionally conservative acquisition strategy, which has focused on targeted, capability-driven deals such as Lodestone , Panaya , and Simplus . While consistent with its bolt-on approach, the Stratus acquisition signals a sharper focus on AI-led, industry-specific transformation opportunities in high-growth sectors like P&C insurance.
