Key Innovation Trends Unveiled During a Seminar by Finacle From Infosys and EFMA

BANGALORE and LONDON, March 31, 2010 - Infosys Technologies Ltd unveiled the findings on trends and efforts on
innovation among banks in Turkey. Recently Infosys joined hands with European
Financial Management & Marketing Association (EFMA) and hosted a seminar to
deliberate with Turkish bankers on the findings of a survey on innovation in
banking across Europe.

Senior management from 89 banks in 26 countries across Europe
contributed to the research which brought out some interesting facts on
Turkey's leadership on Innovation in Retail Banking. 100% of the Turkish
banks in the survey believed that the importance of innovation was high for
both operational efficiency and future growth. In comparison, 75% and 82% of
banks across Europe pegged the importance of innovation for growth and
efficiency as high, respectively. Further, all the banks in Turkey believed
that the importance of IT for innovation is high though 83% of these banks
believe they are leaders in the use of IT for innovation. Across Europe, 90%
banks rated importance of IT for innovation high and only 32% believed they
are leaders in the use of IT for innovation. Innovation leadership featured
high on the list of business strategies for banks in the country although the
survey revealed that only 50% of banks in Turkey (as against only 37% of
banks across Europe) have a formal innovation strategy.

Patrick Desmares, Secretary General, EFMA, said, "In this time
of crisis, there is a danger that banks will allow other priorities to slow
down the pace of innovation, but this is precisely the time when innovation
can lay the platform for future growth and efficiency. Banks in Turkey are
well on the path to creating future growth and efficiency from innovation. "

According to Amit Dua, Associate Vice President and EMEA
Regional Manager - Finacle, Infosys Technologies Ltd, "Turkish banks have
clearly indicated a preference for innovation as a key enabler for their
business strategy and the importance of IT in fueling innovation. Finacle
