Infosys advised a global marketing information services corporation on defining its data architecture as well as on the selection of a package solution to support the company’s survey operations. During the quarter, Infosys also provided consulting services to an international provider of credit enhancement products and lender services based in the U.S., to define a high-level scope and sizing for the Primary Claims and Risk Share components of the company. A world leader in agribusiness selected Infosys to help enhance its productivity and efficiency by implementing e-business solutions.

Mohandas Pai, Member of the Board and Chief Financial Officer. “We are increasing capital spending on our global infrastructure. We continue to hedge our forex exposure, but the appreciating rupee may impact margins.”
