Expansion of services and significant projects
We have been working on building a better tomorrow for us and our
stakeholders. New offerings, novel client engagement models, innovation,
focus on Research & Development (R&D) and the new economies constitute the
new order at Infosys.
Our Intellectual Property (IP)-based solutions continue to benefit
clients. We are designing and implementing a research informatics system at a
leading biotechnology company to accelerate discovery research. We are using
our Scientific Innovation Solution for knowledge collaboration in this
engagement. We partnered with a telecom major to launch a Mobile Application
Store. Powered by Flypp(TM), our 'Ready-to-Launch' application platform, the
store offers a bouquet of applications drawn from an Infosys-managed
ecosystem of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and innovators in India and
across the globe. A manufacturer is implementing the Infosys Supply Chain
Visibility and Collaboration Suite as part of its enterprise-wide initiative
on sourcing business intelligence and spends analysis.
Learning Services, our recent organizational learning offering, is fast
gaining traction among our clients. A groceries and general merchandising
company consulted us for training a core group of employees and disseminating
the knowledge across business users. A consumer electronics major consulted
us for a comprehensive learning management solution.
Industry leaders continue to turn to us for our Engineering Services,
both in core areas such as R&D and Product Development as well as newer
services such as Mobility. A global auto leader engaged us to formulate its
Enterprise Mobility strategy to help optimize internal operations and present
on-demand information to its customers. We are helping a leading cable
operator launch next-generation home gateway devices for voice and data
services. A leading defense electronics and systems company engaged us to
develop a navigation workstation. A global aircraft manufacturer engaged us
to provide engineering design services across multiple aircraft programs. We
are building a Contact Center solution for a leading bank to enhance customer
service agent experience and productivity. For an information management
services leader, we are enabling sales expansion by carrying out
accessibility compliance per US Federal and Computer Security standards for
its software product.
In a major transformation project, we will manage internal IT services
for a US-based ISV and help it implement ISO 20000 and IT Service Management
(ITSM) processes. We will provide Infrastructure and Application Services,
Service Desk, and Desk-Side Services in 450 locations across 104 countries.
For another ISV, we are developing a cloud-based, closed and secure
end-to-end system that consolidates and delivers transaction statements,
promotions, catalogues, and other media digitally from businesses to
households. A manufacturer engaged us to transform its turbine
remanufacturing business. A manufacturer of environmental and industrial
measurement instruments partnered with us to standardize its systems across
the world and accelerate its Oracle E-Business Suite rollout using our
proprietary tools and accelerators. An aero company consulted us to enhance
its customer application portal. A leading retailer partnered with us to
develop and implement a new multi-channel system for Order Management.
As the new economies transform into global economic hubs, we continue to
focus on becoming a major player there and attract significant clients. A
large bank consulted us to eliminate process redundancies, improve the
quality of data reported, and reduce cycle time as well as processing cost.
Another major bank partnered with us to design, build and support a portal
framework for wealth management. A telecommunications and information
services company engaged us to improve its customer self service capability
and customer retention. We partnered with the same company to deliver an
emergency alert system to ensure timely SMSes and voice warnings to community
residents. This system, a life-saving service, won national recognition for
the client.
"We maintained our margins in one of the toughest years for the industry
while our cash and cash equivalents reached $3.5 billion," said V.
Balakrishnan, Chief Financial Officer. "The currency volatility continues to
be a concern for the industry. We, however, have an active hedging program to
minimize its impact on our margins."
Change in Directors
Ms. Rama Bijapurkar resigned as the Independent Member of the Board with
effect from April 13, 2010. The Board accepted the resignation of Ms.
Bijapurkar and placed on record its heartfelt appreciation for the services
