Infosys has reorganised its business units to anticipate changes in the global IT Industry and differentiate vis-à-vis its competitors. The reorganisation, effective November 2007, will help Infosys enhance the "One Infy" experience and will in turn deepen Infosys' transformational capabilities.
Under the new structure, -- Infosys has formed 6 vertical Industry Business Units (IBUs) and 5 Horizontal Business Units (HBUs) that cut across all the vertical units. The New Growth Engines (NGE) unit has been formed to expand business in Australia, China, Japan, Middle East, Canada, South America and Latin America. A separate business unit to tap the growing domestic market in India will also be formed.
Infosys Consulting (IC), the existing Domain Competency Group (DCG) and various solutions groups within units will become part of Consulting Solutions (CS) to create, deliver and coordinate global best practices for enhanced solutions to all our customers.
To synergise its focus on sales and marketing, Infosys will consolidate the sales effectiveness, marketing, alliances and Strategic Global Sourcing (SGS) functions under Corporate Sales and Marketing. There will also be an increased focus on R&D and commercialisation of IP.
An Executive Council (EC), chaired by the CEO, has been constituted and it consists of the CEO, COO, CFO, executive board members and select unit heads.
Kris Gopalakrishnan, CEO and MD, Infosys Technologies said, "Today, we are at the cusp of becoming a $4 billion organisation. There is a need to realign to create a structure that can meet the new challenges of our strategic direction, increased customer expectations and higher levels of competition. I am confident that this reorganisation will enable us to compete better in the global markets."
