“The success of our recently concluded Sponsored Secondary ADS issue is yet another confirmation of the confidence the world has in our business model,” said Nandan M. Nilekani, CEO, President and Managing Director.

“Infosys Consulting has been commended by clients and analysts as having the right consulting business model,” said S. Gopalakrishnan, Member of the Board and COO. “Clients have reported that consulting projects with Infosys Consulting have delivered more than the expected business value. It shows that the value proposition we have created is making Infosys Consulting the benchmark of the profession.”

Infosys continued to build a leaner, more scalable and aligned organization to handle greater business complexity and provide higher client value. Its investments in new services such as R&D, System Integration, Infrastructure Management Services and Independent Validation Solutions have yielded returns both in terms of revenue and value differentiation.

Infosys has also designed and implemented an integrated Point of Sales Replenishment (POSR) solution for an independent business unit of the world’s largest greeting card company. The implementation of the system will avoid stock-outs thereby increasing their retail sales by 10%. It will also help in reduction of the Point of Sale (POS) inventory and manual effort spent in entering orders.

Infosys will build a centralized financial and management reporting system for a leading bank in the US. This implementation is part of a larger initiative aimed at building a finance and credit risk data warehouse to support compliance with Basel II requirements.

A market leader in commercial air-conditioners and hardware has sought Infosys’ expertise for Sarbanes Oxley compliance, along with other IT services.

“Our strategy has been to pursue high-quality prospects among Global 500 companies that will give us large, growing revenue streams for many years,” said Basab Pradhan, Head – Worldwide Sales and Senior Vice President. “Our pursuit model, team-selling and emphasis on quality of account openings is paying off. This quarter, we started relationships with nine Global 500 companies in diverse industries like pharma, supermarkets, equipment manufacturing, automotive, utilities, insurance and banking in the US as well as Europe.”

“Our investments in developing competencies has differentiated us from other players and has enhanced our domain expertise,” said S. D. Shibulal, Member of the Board and Head – Worldwide Customer Delivery. “The Infosys Certification Program is being scaled up rapidly. Building on our world class training infrastructure, this program formally certifies Infoscions on domain, technical and process competencies.”

“We have successfully completed the largest international equity offering from India of over a billion dollars. Our offering in Japan through the Public Offer Without Listing (POWL) has enhanced Japanese investor interest in India and opened the market for Indian companies,” said T. V. Mohandas Pai, Member of the Board and Chief Financial Officer. “During the quarter, we maintained our margins despite absorbing annual salary increases and the adverse impact of a depreciating Euro and Pound Sterling.”
