Awards and recognition

The economic downturn highlighted our innate strengths as industry observers and media presented us a rousing encomium. The Wall Street Journal Asia survey recognized us as the ‘Most Admired Indian Company’ in its Asia 200, an annual ranking of Asia’s leading companies. We have been ranked in Fortune magazine’s 100 Fastest-growing Companies 2009. We are the only Indian IT services company among "the world’s supercharged performers" that are growing even during a downturn. We have been ranked at No. 25 in BusinessWeek’s InfoTech100, a listing of the world’s best performing technology companies in 2009. This list rates technology companies that have managed to meet and exceed expectations despite the downturn.

Expansion of services and significant projects

Our strategy through the downturn has been to build on our strengths rather than limit ourselves to navigating the challenges. Following this route, we are confident of emerging stronger when the economic environment improves and better poised to deliver enhanced value to all our stakeholders. We are sharpening focus on Research & Development, Intellectual Property-based solutions, and ‘New Engagement Models’ (NEMs) that offer flexible pricing and greater operational control and efficiency to clients. In addition, true to the spirit of our Global Delivery Model, we are continuing to invest and expand in regions such as India, Brazil, Mexico, and China. We have a sales group dedicated to large outsourcing deals that has helped us secure significant projects this year. We believe our expertise in large-scale transition management will differentiate us in the near future.

Clients have been impressed by our engineering services. An industrial products and services company is testing our ‘Enterprise Collaboration Platform’ to transform its intranet from an information repository into a next-generation content hub that engages employees better. A leading mobile service provider selected us as its strategic partner to run its ‘Bid Management Process’. The deal involves setting up our patent-pending ‘Infosys Sales Effectiveness Center’ that will own the bid process, pricing, and contract services. For an apparel manufacturer, we are implementing our ‘Product Master Syndication Solution’ that will support the entire product lifecycle and provide a single source of data.A power major sought our ‘Plant Design and Management System Solution’ that enables collaboration across distributed teams. A large manufacturer selected us as its prime systems integration partner to implement and support our Product Lifecycle Management solution based on the Siemens TeamCenter product.

We continue to focus on large transformational engagements, especially through our consulting and enterprise solution offerings. A broadcasting company partnered with us to develop new digital media services. A service provider for retailers engaged us to develop an Order Management System. A large bank selected us to conduct end-to-end testing as well as user-acceptance testing for Finacle™ implementation and integration with other applications. A large bank chose us for end-to-end systems integration in the transformation program of its corporate banking e-channel system. A provider of high-performance networking systems partnered with us for a transformational program to scale up its core engineering processes.

 “The pricing environment seems to have stabilized,” said S.D. Shibulal, Chief Operating Officer. “There is increasing traction for our system integration services due to Mergers & Acquisition, especially in the Financial Services segment.”

FinacleTM

Finacle™ continued to grow its business, adding four clients this quarter.  Of these, two were from Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region and two from the Asia Pacific region.

Eleven client projects went live in the quarter. Of these, eight projects went live in the Asia Pacific region and three in the EMEA region.

Gartner, Inc. has positioned Finacle™ core banking solution in the Leaders Quadrant of the 'Magic Quadrant for International Retail Core Banking (IRCB)' report.

Infosys BPO

A leading bank engaged Infosys BPO to review mortgage documents, validate data across various systems, and remediate the basis of the actual document for 2,000 loans from a portfolio of 10 million loans. A large manufacturer chose Infosys BPO to service select finance, accounting, HR, customer services, and IT helpdesk functions.

New Markets

As the pioneer of the Global Delivery Model and a proponent of a Flat World, we are strengthening our presence across the globe. Our focus particularly has been on powerful emerging markets such as Mexico, Brazil, China, and India.

In a span of two years, we have established multiple services in Mexico, including IT, BPO and Consulting services, and Core Banking solutions for our global clients and those across Latin America. Our Mexico center continues to provide near-shore value proposition to our US clients in Application Development and Maintenance, Enterprise Solutions, and Independent Validation Services. In addition, we have partnered with the country’s government and universities to design and roll out a unique finishing school program for engineering graduates. 

We are setting up our first Development Center in Brazil. This is our second Latin America (Latam) operation, aimed at serving clients which are head quartered either in Brazil, or outside. Through operations in Brazil, we can manage the Portuguese needs of Brazilian clients and with our Mexico operations, we can manage the Spanish needs of the Latam region. In this way, operating from Mexico and Brazil prepares us for growth here.

Our China Development Center has grown in the last one year to deliver BPO and IT services to clients in the US, Europe, and Asia. We have been expanding our delivery capability in horizontal services such as Enterprise Solutions, Independent Validation Services, and Product Engineering as well as investing in contextualizing our Finacle™ Banking Solution for the Chinese market. We are also working closely with the government to tap, and subsequently nurture the IT talent pool in China.

In India, we continue the impetus of the previous quarters. This quarter, we were awarded the eBiz Project by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. The project includes designing and developing the eBiz platform, establishing the support IT infrastructure, implementing, maintaining and expanding the eBiz solution and services for the next 10 years.

In emerging markets elsewhere, we continue to maintain our momentum. A mining company engaged us for Sourcing and Procurement as well as Finance and Accounting outsourcing. A telecommunications company selected us to design and implement a Testing Center of Excellence. An agri products and processing business selected us as a strategic global partner for its infrastructure management services.

Process innovation

This quarter, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted our fourth patent: ‘Automated Software Testing Architecture Using a Multi-level Framework’. The patent discloses a three-level framework for software testing architecture, especially testing complex and domain-intensive products.

During the quarter, Infosys applied for four patents in India and the U.S. With this, Infosys has an aggregate of 203 patent applications (pending) in India and the U.S. and has been granted four patents by USPTO.

Liquidity and capital expenditure

Cash and cash equivalents, including investments in liquid mutual funds, as on September 30, 2009 was Rs. 13,796 (Rs. 8,858 crore as on September 30, 2008).

“The global currency markets continue to be extremely volatile, even though we have seen some stability in the rupee against the US dollar this quarter,” said V. Balakrishnan, Chief Financial Officer. “We continue to focus on high quality growth with superior margins. Our balance sheet has been further strengthened with cash and cash equivalents reaching US$ 2.8 billion.”

Human resources

During the quarter, Infosys and its subsidiaries added 6,069 employees (gross). The net addition during the quarter was 1,548.

“In response to the economic crisis, we had stepped up our investment in training. This has made us more competitive in fulfilling client needs today,” said T. V. Mohandas Pai, Member of the Board and Head – HRD and Education & Research. “We have successfully completed the implementation of iRACE, our program for growth-focused career architecture across the company, thus completely transforming our people strategy.”
