BANGALORE, India, August 11, 2011 -

Infosys BPO Ltd. has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the ‘Leaders Quadrant’ of the Magic Quadrant for Comprehensive Finance and Accounting BPO, Global report[1]. According to the research firm’s report, “Leaders are performing well today, both with a clear vision of market direction and by actively building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market. The comprehensive F&A BPO players in this quadrant generally share superior market understanding, have a global client base, an extensive network of well-distributed and highly populated global delivery centers catering for multiple languages, a good balance of transactional and high-end F&A delivery and innovative well communicated and marketed sales offerings.”

Gautam Thakkar, VP and Global Head for F&A, Infosys BPO Ltd., said, “We believe, being featured in the Leaders Quadrant in the Gartner F&A BPO Magic Quadrant report re-emphasizes our ability to successfully run de-risked  F&A operations for our clients. We are indeed proud of our ability to partner with our clients to transform their F&A processes through a suite of technology tools and excellence in transition and operations.  We have also made significant investments to develop deep vertical industry expertise and business value articulation framework which is a strong foundation for our customers to fundamentally transform their F&A business.”

The Magic Quadrants depict markets using a two-dimensional matrix that evaluates vendors based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute. The report evaluates a qualified group of 16 vendors in the Comprehensive F&A BPO market.

Infosys BPO’s F&A unit has been active since 2004 and operates from more than 11 centers in over 7 countries such as India, China, the Philippines, Czech Republic, Poland, Mexico and Brazil. Testimony to this fact lies in the deals won by Infosys BPO in the past 18 months. The deals involve a UK mobile firm, a global mining company, and extensions or renewals of contracts at a global electronics major.
