“I am proud of our company’s achievements in my first fiscal year as CEO of Infosys. At the same time, I am humbled by the task that is still in front of us. We started the year just two quarters into a strategy to completely reimagine the notion of services and to transform Infosys. Over the course of this year, we saw this strategy, of bringing automation and innovation to our clients, on a foundation of learning and education, start to show results in the organic growth of our client relationships, in our win rates in large deals, and in the types of projects we are seeing in strategic areas where we never participated before. I am proud of what our teams have achieved this quarter and in the year," said Dr. Vishal Sikka, CEO. "And yet despite these heartening results, they are still based on metrics of the past, of the way the industry has been. The world of our future looks entirely different – it is a world that is being fundamentally reshaped by digital technologies, and it is our endeavor to create great value for every business through solutions built on our AI technology and open, cloud platforms, to have Infoscions amplified by intelligent technology, to bring purposeful innovation to life, and in that sense, we are still very much at the beginning of this journey.”
“Employee attrition reduced further in Q4, and is reflective of increased engagement with our people all through the year, and our steps to make Infosys an exciting place for the world’s best talent. We continue to reimagine our internal processes to increase organizational agility.” said U B Pravin Rao, COO. “The momentum of large deal wins continued this quarter and bookings were strong.”
“Our growth trajectory improved in FY 16 and we navigated the external business environment well. We will continue to focus on leveraging operational efficiency levers for consistent profitable growth.” said M.D. Ranganath, CFO. “During the quarter, cash generation was strong. We managed a volatile currency environment effectively.”

Business Highlights
This quarter we made significant advances in our strategy to deliver automation and innovation through our traditional and new service offerings, our platforms and tools, and through investments in the broader ecosystem – enabling us to create more depth in existing client relationships, win more deals and specifically large deals, and open up entirely new types of strategic projects for Infosys.
Driving depth in client relationships, and winning large deals
| · | ConAgra Foods, Inc., one of North America’s leading packaged food companies, chose us as a strategic partner for a multi-year managed services deal that will support ConAgra’s Application, Infrastructure and Information Security systems. The design-thinking led solution will leverage Panaya and the Infosys Automation Platform (IAP) to help the client reduce total effort in support, upgrade and testing and will drive innovation, improve service levels, and reduce operating costs. |
| · | For Welsh Water, a large utilities company, we will be responsible for the setup, migration and execution of data center facilities and services, managing over 400 critical network links, business applications, server and storage management. We will also transform and manage the client’s internal network communications and IP telephony services and infrastructure. The deal includes managing all projects in the client’s IT ecosystem including virtualization, operating system strategy, database platforms and more. |
Growing momentum in new services, platforms and tools
We continued to see new strategic projects coming to Infosys based on our Aikido service offerings as well as our platforms and tools.
IIP – Completed more than 220 engagements leveraging IIP; announced availability of IIP on AWS.
This quarter we announced the availability of IIP on Amazon Web Services Marketplace (AWS Marketplace). Businesses will now be able to gain robust data insights quickly, while tapping into the flexibility and the lower cost of a cloud-based platform.
Hershey’s LLC, North America’s largest chocolate manufacturer, recently used IIP on AWS to analyze retail store data. The company wanted to gain valuable, revenue-generating insight faster than a traditional analytics implementation could deliver.
Hershey needed to establish its Hadoop landscape and extend its analytics and big data capabilities quickly. Partnering with the client, we had the landscape up and the data lake seeded for their analysts in less than a week. Using the Infosys Information Platform on AWS accelerated the deployment by weeks
IAP – More than 125 engagements in IAP across segments; 21 additional deployments in this quarter across key accounts.
Johnson Controls (JCI) is transforming the role IT plays in accelerating growth and delivering value to the business. One of JCI’s goals for this transformation is to drive and improve efficiency across the enterprise through Automation. Infosys is helping JCI in this journey to delivery leading edge Enterprise Automation capabilities. JCI will automate business processes, with the help of Infosys’s industry leading tools and services including Self-service, Robotic and Assisted Automation, Predictive Diagnostics, and Self-Healing capabilities.
Panaya, Skava & EdgeVerve
Panaya and Skava continued to gain traction both as part of large client engagements where these products were central to the value proposition, and as standalone deals.
| · | Cummins, a global power leader that designs, manufactures, sells and services diesel engines and related technology globally, chose us as a partner to execute its Brazilian Oracle upgrade program. Rosane Rodrigues, CIO, Cummins Brazil commented, “Our Brazilian oracle instance has all the complexities needed to support our local business, with more than 5000+ objects, catering to different product lines and supporting 2500+ users in South America. Risk of disruption to our business was a major concern. We wanted to make sure we partnered with a service provider who has in depth Oracle knowledge, understanding of localization requirements and more importantly someone who could demonstrate their ability to de-risk the upgrade project by using advanced tools. The Panaya based detailed impact analysis that Infosys presented to us prior to start of the project gave us the confidence that they exactly knew what was going to break and how to fix it. With their upgrade methodology and cloud based impact assessment tools like Panaya, Infosys is leading the way in minimizing risk involved in software changes.” |
| · | Aimia Inc., a global leader in data-driven marketing and loyalty analytics, has chosen us as strategic partner for a multi-year managed services deal to deliver product engineering, maintenance and support services of various Aimia platforms and solutions. Liz Graham, EVP Operations and Strategic Initiatives at Aimia said, “We have chosen Infosys’ Skava platform to implement Omni-channel Digital marketing solution for its nimbleness and ability to work in a test-and-learn manner. We look forward for a great partnership with Infosys and leveraging Skava platform in other digital initiatives.” |
This quarter the EdgeVerve business sustained momentum with 18 wins and 24 go-lives for both the Finacle and Edge suite of solutions across various market regions.
| · | Lesley Secretan Director and COO of Bank Leumi (UK) plc said, “Finacle Corporate e-banking will provide us with a complete and modern e-banking solution for our changing corporate banking requirements. We chose Finacle for its out-of-the box capabilities, enhanced functionality, agile implementation approach, and the ability to work on multiple platforms. Over the years, Infosys Finacle has demonstrated extensive experience in the market, having worked on complex projects with leading banks globally. Perhaps more importantly, we chose Finacle because we liked its look and feel and felt it will be appreciated by our customers once the solution is deployed.” |
Design-led services – Now in every engagement and rapidly reaching all our clients.
In the last quarter, we saw a significant increase in the adoption of Design Thinking by our clients globally. More than 225 Design Thinking workshops have been conducted to date, with more than 10 design led transformation programs this quarter from across industry segments. A very significant development is that our clients are increasingly engaging with our consultants to develop and execute strategic business transformation ideas and initiatives.
Building a Culture of Innovators
Zero Distance – Covers more than 95% of the projects base lined and managed by Infosys.
Zero Distance, our program to drive innovation in every project, empowering all employees to be innovators, now covers almost all projects and is establishing a new way to achieve project management excellence.
Jeroen Korstanje, IT Change Manager Enterprise Content Management, ABN AMRO, said, “We have been partnering with Infosys over 10 years. In the last 3 years our partnership has reached a higher maturity and we are truly acting as partners. The Zero Distance and Design Thinking movement within the Infosys organization is adding additional value to the partnership. Looking pro-actively at opportunities to make the work easier and automate as much as possible we already implemented a number of improvements. To strengthen the partnership even more we jointly trained all staff in the Enterprise Content Management area in Zero Distance and Design Thinking. I am confident that this will bring even more value to the bank as a whole.”
Extending the Reach through our Ecosystem
This quarter we announced an investment of USD 4 million in Waterline Data Science, a leading provider of data discovery and data governance software. This investment is testimony to our efforts to bring innovative data science solutions across our platforms and offerings, and commitment to deliver greater business value for our clients from their Big Data assets.
