" Our revenues grew by around US$ 1 billion this year," said Nandan M. Nilekani , CEO and Managing Director. "The global IT services industry continues to show strong growth with exciting opportunities and Infosys is well positioned to take advantage of this."

As businesses the world over sought to become more competitive, Infosys offered strategic technology solutions and business insights to help companies in leading industry verticals shift their operational priorities and win in an increasingly 'flat' business world.

In the Retail sector, Infosys won a large project for integrating the PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM) systems of the third largest broadline retailer in the US . The integrated system will enable the client to manage HR, payroll and benefits data effectively.

An upscale retailer providing quality discounted merchandise in over 1,300 stores across 47 US states turned to Infosys for a scalable solution to extend its custom Performance Management application to a larger employee base. The automated solution has halved the time spent on generating performance scores and computing employee compensation.

Infosys implemented a new order management system for the world's largest employee-owned photography company that will significantly reduce possible financial leakage.

In the High-tech Manufacturing sector, one of the world's largest IT management software providers is working with Infosys to integrate technical support functions across its recent acquisitions. Infosys' integrated performance management and compensation solution for a top independent software vendor will enable the company to streamline employee rewards, ratings and assessment while helping its employees and managers enjoy a better user experience.

Infosys made deeper inroads in the Energy sector. A leading oilfield services company supplying technologies, project management and performance optimization solutions to the international oil and gas industry has approached Infosys to establish a strategic program to improve the efficiency of its sales force.

Industry leaders in various sectors are using Infosys' Independent Validation Services to boost the predictability of their applications. A leading specialty beverage brand chose Infosys to build a Testing Center of Excellence (TCOE), which brought all its testing activities - including automation and performance testing - under a single umbrella. The global leader in digital signal processing and analog technologies partnered with Infosys to achieve test automation for in-house applications, saving up to 10% of investment on IT projects and achieving faster time to market.

"The rupee appreciated against all major currencies during the quarter," said V. Balakrishnan,
Chief Financial Officer. "Our robust financial model allows us to balance the investments required in the business and profitability while focusing on growth. Our liquidity position continues to be strong with cash and cash equivalents reaching US$ 1.4 billion."
