DXC Technology said Friday that it will work with Ferrovial and Microsoft to jointly develop a generative artificial intelligence platform, called Quercus.

Quercus, which uses platform engineering principles as its foundations, would help organizations integrate secure, responsible AI technology throughout their business operations to automate processes for improved profitability and efficiency.

DXC said it will standardize Quercus and offer it as an AI platform for its global customers, tailoring the platform to meet individual customer needs. This will reduce the time required to create their own AI solutions.

DXC will be responsible for evolving, maintaining, and commercializing Quercus, which will run on Microsoft's Azure and OpenAI technology.

Ferrovial--the Spanish infrastructure company--has begun to implement an early version of the Quercus platform for its customers, creating an AI virtual assistant to support business activities including human resources, health and safety, tenders, and cybersecurity intelligent agents.

DXC said Quercus will be able to integrate with mission-critical business systems and coordinate with other generative AI models to increase potential performance impact for customers.
