Expansion of services and significant projects

The first quarter of this financial year got off to a promising start for the company, with the addition of 29 clients. Infosys and its subsidiaries now have a total of 419 clients across the world. The company continued to partner with global corporations, assisting them in effectively using technology to derive focused and robust business solutions.

Infosys’ strategic shift to being a business solutions provider to clients is yielding good results. The Retail Practice, which has introduced innovative solutions in the marketplace, has seen significant gains this quarter. A major US retailer of toys, children’s apparels and baby products chose Infosys to play a critical role in selecting and implementing new packages to transform its international merchandising. One of the largest family footwear retailers in the US selected Infosys to upgrade its PeopleSoft applications – a task that Infosys completed about two weeks ahead of the mutually agreed upon deadline.

European retail companies are also experiencing the benefit of Infosys’ solutions in increasing their competitiveness. In a deal won along with the company’s strategic partner, Microsoft, a major European retailer chose Infosys’ RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) solution this quarter. An international vehicle rental organization based in Europe selected Infosys to enhance its existing systems and thereby improve productivity.

Infosys saw significant gains in the financial services sector this quarter. One of the top ten banks in the US selected Infosys and Progeon as strategic partners for IT and BPO. In another win, Infosys started working with a leading services company providing consultative services for the secondary loan market. Infosys is assisting the company in improving its IT infrastructure. In the Asia Pacific region, a subsidiary of one of the largest banking groups in Japan established a relationship with Infosys to build competitive applications and systems.

Two global corporations in the high-tech and manufacturing industry began their partnership with Infosys during the quarter. A global leader in providing industrial hardware, software and services selected Infosys to support its business critical order processing systems worldwide. One of the world’s premier providers of IT equipment for power protection chose Infosys to help in the development and enhancement of its IT needs in its power infrastructure and management products. Other wins in this space include a large technology company in the US, focusing on software products and services. This partnership leveraged Infosys’ Global Delivery Model for new product development and upgrading of the company’s package applications. A leading provider of intelligent network software for enhanced IP services in the US extended its relationship with Infosys for the development of critical software applications.

The healthcare and insurance industry is increasingly adopting technology applications to enhance efficiency. A European multi-billion dollar insurance organization selected Infosys for the replacement of its existing global database. This project aims to achieve organization-wide uniformity and reduced licensing costs. A major actuarial consulting and information technology services company in the Asia Pacific region sought Infosys’ expertise in straight-through-processing from the internet for a series of their products in the insurance sector. Yet another win in this space is a leading health insurance company in the US.

In the Energy and Utilities industry, Infosys is partnering with one of the largest electric utilities systems in the US in a business consulting project. Infosys will work with the company to improve customer satisfaction, while reducing customer service operational cost. A Europe-based international power and automation technology company is using Infosys consultants to conduct

an IT strategy project designed to improve processes and technical functions of the current application portfolio. Infosys was also chosen by a leading utilities company in the US to develop a new application designed to enhance the level of its service and productivity.

Transportation and Services companies are also realizing the benefits of technology in gaining higher returns. One of the world’s largest air express network companies continued its association with Infosys, utilizing the company’s consulting and technology expertise for increased competitiveness. In a significant project, Infosys introduced the technology of the Web Content Management System, providing online customers with a range of information. Additionally, this system provided global and country business owners the ability to author content on the web site. In another project for the same client, Infosys developed a shipment control library solution that tracks and maintains shipment details from origin to destination.

The company strengthened its presence in the telecom industry in Europe, with the addition of a major Scandinavia-based mobile phone applications supplier. Infosys is working with this client to enhance its client interfaces on the web.

“Companies are seeking flexibility and alignment to business from their outsourcing initiatives,” said Basab Pradhan, Head – World-wide Sales and Senior Vice President. “We recently introduced a new approach to outsourcing called ‘Modular Global Sourcing’, which, while addressing these needs, will also optimize on cost, quality and time-to-market for the clients.”

“We continue to benefit from the positive demand environment for offshore services,” said S. D. Shibulal, Member of the Board and Head – World-wide Customer Delivery. “We have built systems and processes to scale up to the needs of the market place.”

Banking Products

The sale of the Finacle® suite of products made significant headway in many countries across the globe. In a breakthrough in the Middle East, one of the top multinational banks in the UAE licensed Finacle® core banking, consumer e-banking, multi-channel alerts and CRM solutions. National Bank, Saudi Arabia chose to deploy Finacle® to power its web-based initiatives. A leading bank headquartered in Nigeria has become the 10th bank in Nigeria to be powered by Finacle®. Finacle® core banking and consumer e-banking solutions have also been deployed by an offshore bank in Cayman Islands. Additionally, one of the largest banks in Asia, headquartered in India, has licensed Finacle® core banking, internet banking and treasury solutions to power its international operations across 21 countries.

Liquidity and capital expenditure

Cash and cash equivalents, including investments in liquid mutual funds, decreased by Rs. 720.75 crore during the quarter, from Rs. 2,872.77 crore to Rs. 2,152.02 crore, after incurring capital expenditure of Rs. 154.46 crore and a dividend distribution of Rs. 867.18 crore.

“The rupee declined against the dollar during the quarter. We continue to have a prudent hedging policy, and have marked-to-market our hedging positions under Indian GAAP to align it with our US GAAP reporting,” said T. V. Mohandas Pai, Member of the Board and Chief Financial Officer. “Our cash position remains strong at Rs. 2,152.02 crore, after incurring a capex of Rs. 154.46 crore during the quarter and a distribution of Rs. 867.18 crore as dividend.”
