Infosys collaborates with Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools for digital transformation.

Peter Moore, Head of Partner Ecosystem at SAP Asia Pacific, discussed the complexity surrounding MACS' operations and how cloud solutions will streamline processes, positioning the organization to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) more effectively. Raja Shah, EVP at Infosys, commented on MACS' digital transformation vision and the collaborative role of Infosys in this endeavor.
