Expert Statements

Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst, HFS Research

“AI is forcing a fundamental reset of the business services industry. Competitive advantage will increasingly come from providers that can combine deep process expertise with the AI infrastructure, compute and operational capabilities needed to deliver at scale. The HGS and Rackspace relationship is a strong example of how services firms can bring together domain expertise and technology execution to build the foundation for the next generation of AI-enabled services.”

Venkatesh Korla, Global Chief Executive Officer of HGS

“As HGS expands its AI capabilities, we recognize that production AI requires us to think differently about the infrastructure beneath our applications. Working with Rackspace gives us control over the cost, security and performance of our AI infrastructure, and adds private and sovereign-ready cloud capabilities that broaden what we can deliver to customers.”

Gajen Kandiah, Chief Executive Officer of Rackspace Technology

“AI is pushing enterprises to reconsider where critical workloads run and how much control they retain over their infrastructure, data and economics. HGS shows what production AI requires: dedicated compute, private cloud and managed operations working alongside public cloud. We built our governed enterprise AI stack for exactly this, and the AMD agreement gives customers a clear path from capacity to production.”
