Responsible AI (RAI) Office will serve as the custodian of ethical use of AI and ensure solutions align with emerging guardrails for AI across geographies

BENGALURU, India, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Infosys (NSE: INFY) (BSE: INFY) (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, today announced the launch of its Responsible AI Suite, a part of Infosys Topaz, an AI-first set of services, solutions, and platforms using generative AI.­­­

The rise of powerful generative AI systems in the past year has raised several concerns and conversations around the ethical dimensions of AI. According to the Infosys Generative AI Radar, by Infosys Knowledge Institute, enterprises worldwide are identifying data privacy, security, ethics, and bias as the primary challenges in their pursuit of innovation with AI. The Responsible AI Suite is designed to help enterprises balance innovation with ethical considerations, such bias and privacy prevention, and maximize their return on investments.

Infosys Topaz Responsible AI Suite is a set of 10+ offerings built around the Scan, Shield, and Steer framework. The framework aims to monitor and protect AI models and systems from risks and threats, while enabling businesses to apply AI responsibly. The offerings, across the framework, include a combination of accelerators and solutions designed to drive responsible AI adoption across enterprises.

Scan: Includes solutions to help identify the overall AI risk posture, legal obligations, vulnerabilities, and generate a single source of truth for compliance status of all AI projects. For example, the Infosys Topaz RAI Watchtower is used to monitor upcoming threats, vulnerabilities, and legal obligations.

Shield: These solutions focus on building technical guardrails, checks, and accelerators that are responsible by design across the AI lifecycle. It also consists of specialized solutions for AI security. For example, the Infosys Topaz Gen AI Guardrails help enforce the safe use of Gen AI by moderating input prompts and output for multiple risks.

Steer: These advisory and consulting services support strong and efficient AI governance for innovation. Offerings include AI strategy formulation, legal consultation, and contract reviews.

Infosys Topaz Responsible AI Suite will be amplified by an ecosystem of technology partners and think tanks via the Responsible AI Coalition. The Responsible AI Coalition will bring together startups, cloud service providers, and technology partners to further the common goal of advancing responsible AI. It will also lead a special working group of noted academicians, influencers, policymakers, and industry leaders to aid in shaping solutions that help set new industry standards in the responsible AI space.

Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst, HFS Research, said, “With the challenges of Responsible AI currently forcing many enterprises to slow their progress towards achieving scaled value with AI, smart offerings such as Infosys Topaz’s Responsible AI suite can clear the path to help them accelerate their critical AI initiatives.”

The suite of offerings is complemented by Infosys Topaz RAI office. This ensures that the offerings deliver solutions that ably navigate the shifting landscape of complex technical, policy, and governance challenges related to adopting AI responsibly across business functions. The office of RAI is also responsible for looking into different facets of ethical aspects of AI like transparency, fairness, privacy, security and compliance. The Office constitutes a centralized body for streamlining AI governance, formulating AI risk strategy, and maintaining standards, policies, and guidelines. It will also ensure adherence to responsible-by-design principles and standards throughout the AI development lifecycle, facilitating safe use of AI across organizations.

Commenting on the launch, Balakrishna D. R. (Bali), Executive Vice President, Global Services Head, AI and Industry Verticals, Infosys, said, “Responsible and ethical AI deployment is a business imperative as technology evolves. At Infosys, we recognize the critical need for fostering responsible AI and not merely as a set of principles but as actionable steps. Infosys Topaz Responsible AI Suite is a significant stride in helping our clients better manage their AI-first journey.

Published

By

IRVINE, Calif., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ecotrak, the leading provider of facility and asset management software for multi-location businesses, has officially launched Ecotrak Build, a self-service CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) designed specifically for small business operators. Built from the ground up for speed, simplicity, and affordability, Ecotrak Build is now available for just $25 per year, per location—and includes a 30-day free trial.

With the launch of its self-service portal, Ecotrak is removing traditional barriers to entry like implementation delays and expensive onboarding. Small business owners can now sign up in minutes, set up locations, find vendors, and start managing their repairs from one easy-to-use platform.

“We built Ecotrak Build for the operators who do it all—the ones wearing five hats and still trying to keep their equipment running,” said Daniel Castleman, VP of Product at Ecotrak. “There hasn’t been a robust CMMS solution made specifically for small business. Build changes that. It’s affordable, it’s powerful, and it’s ready to go when you are.”

Key features of Ecotrak Build include:

Instant access to pre-vetted service providers

Unlimited work orders and invoices

Support for up to 10 locations during the free trial

Mobile app for fast, on-the-go service requests

A clean, intuitive dashboard

From plumbing issues and HVAC breakdowns to equipment maintenance and emergency repairs, Ecotrak Build gives operators the ability to respond fast, assign vendors, track progress, and manage costs—all in real time.

The self-service experience was designed to be plug-and-play:

Create an accountAdd your locationsInvite and assign vendorsSubmit your first service requestStart tracking work

Build is ideal for quick-service restaurants, franchise owners, coffee shops, gyms, salons, convenience stores, and any other small business that depends on equipment working day in and day out. Unlike enterprise CMMS tools built for corporate facilities teams, Build meets operators where they are—with simple workflows, mobile-first access, and no unnecessary complexity.

The platform is now live at www.ecotrak.com/pricing, where new users can sign up and begin their 30-day free trial.

About Ecotrak

Ecotrak is more than a facility management platform—it’s your partner in the trenches. Built for businesses that can’t afford downtime, Ecotrak delivers real solutions, real insights, and real support to help facility teams run smoother, spend smarter, and plan for the long haul.

With an intuitive, easy-to-use platform, Ecotrak simplifies asset management, work orders, and service provider coordination—so facility teams can stop putting out fires and start making bigger-picture decisions. Whether it’s preventing breakdowns, maximizing budgets, or optimizing operations, Ecotrak is right there with you, every step of the way. Together, we run it.

A simplified codebase ensures more consistency and streamlined communication between T-Kartor products such as Iris and Orion, ultimately maximizing the value of customers’ investments.New tools for evaluating an organization’s spatial and non-spatial data holdings help illustrate which resources are used most and which are underused and identify the source of requests and geographies queried most often.Ability to elastically scale up, down, or out as compute resources are needed.New enhanced external APIs for machine-to-machine communication and integration into legacy workflows and systems that make extending the T-Kartor platform into existing architectures easier than ever before.

Anthony Calamito, chief strategy officer, T-Kartor, said: “Many geospatial software platforms exist on the market, but few, if any, are cloud-native and designed specifically for modern DevOps environments. What T-Kartor is bringing to market will fundamentally change how software is provisioned and scaled to support enterprise geospatial operations by providing insight into what an organization uses most often, how much compute power is needed, and where resources may be better allocated.”
