B・プラビン・ラオ最高執行責任者(COO)は「FinacleとEdgeスイートの健全な成長があったが、第4四半期のサービス成長は予想より低かった。従来のアウトソーシング・ビジネスのコモディティー化増大のため、プライシングが引き続き圧力を受けており、われわれは自動化によって生産性を向上、大きな仕事の差別化を強化しなければならない。しかし、新会計年度は健全な総合的成長を追求できる位置にある」と語った。

▽事業ハイライト

当社は中核事業の強化と新分野でのイノベーションという二重戦略を推進し、今四半期にクライアントを大幅に増加させた。さらに当社は新技術と教育への投資を強化し、研究と創造性の文化を育成した。

▽クライアントの獲得

ABN AMROは当社を戦略的パートナーの1社として選択し、事業変革を推進した。当社はアプリケーション開発およびメンテナンス、テスト、生産実現におけるサービスを提供した。

Western Union Financial Servicesは11年間にわたるターンキープロジェクトで当社を選択した。当社は同プロジェクトで世界中の決済システムの改革、メンテナンス、サポートを全面的に提供する。

当社はHouse of Fraser(Sanpower Group Chinaが最近買収)と複数年契約を締結し、マルチチャンネル事業およびITインフラストラクチャーを変革した。House of Fraserのフランク・スレビン会長は「当社はマルチチャンネル事業に新たな最先端技術を導入しており、このプログラムによって製品化までの時間を短縮できる。世界進出を目指す当社は、プログラムの恩恵によって事業目標を達成することが可能となる。インフォシスと長期にわたる戦略的関係を構築していきたい」と語った。

当社は米国のファッション小売企業に戦略的パートナーとして選ばれ、サービス窓口、インフラストラクチャー、アプリケーション・サポートのサービスを管理する。このソリューションは大幅なコスト節約、直接的な事業メリット、イノベーション能力をこのファッション小売企業にもたらし、同企業は戦略的な事業イニシアチブに専念することが可能となる。

世界的な大手速配サービス企業は同社の技術利用を簡略化し変革するために当社を選択した。この提携の一環として、当社はアプリケーション開発およびメンテナンス・サービスを提供するとともに、複雑性とコストを軽減するデジタル技術を提供して顧客対応を強化する。

▽プラットフォーム

Infosys Information Platform(IIP)は市場取引が増加した。IIPは専門分野の技術、研究能力、オープンソース・エコシステム、意欲的な職員を一体化することによって、最先端のプラットフォームを開発する能力を実証した。

アグリビジネスの世界的なリーダー企業Syngentaは大量のデータに対処するために、同社のMangaement Reporting Solutionのアプリケーション性能に課題を抱えていた。インフォシスはInfosys Information Platformを使って実現可能であることを実証し、Management Reportingソリューションの性能を向上させた。IIPは、これまで50万のレコードを投入するために1時間以上かかっていたのを、6分間に1900万のレコードを投入できるようにした。同様にIIPは、現在のプラットフォームでは1分以上かかったことに対し、5秒以内にナビゲーションをリポートし、ダッシュボード上に表示することを可能にした。

SyngentaはInfosys Automationプラットフォームを活用し、SAPユーザーの認証リクエストを自動化し、ITの年間運用コストを100万ドル節約した。さらに、認証リクエストを迅速に完了することによってユーザーの生産性を向上させた。

世界な大手製菓企業Hershey Companyはコンサルティングと技術サービスを受けるために当社と契約した。同社はInfosys Information Platform(IIP)を採用し、多様なデータをナレッジおよび知見に変換して、それを同社が決定を下す際の中核にして消費者、顧客、市場、業界の理解に利用した。Hershey Companyのカルロス・E・アメスキタ最高情報責任者(CIO)は「Hersheyは本質的にはナレッジ企業である。インフォシスと最新のIIPプラットフォームは強化された能力とスピードを提供し、多様なデータセットを取り込み、それを調和し関連付けて、バラバラだったデータを利用可能なナレッジと知見に転換する」と語った。

▽Finacle

Finacle(TM)は今四半期、23の新規顧客を獲得し、11件のサービスインを行うなどビジネスの勢いを維持した。米国の大手ネット銀行・決済サービスのDiscover Financial Servicesは昨年Finacleを導入したが、同社の中核銀行業務変革プログラムでCelent Model Bank賞を獲得した。今四半期において、Finacleを利用する世界の銀行トップ1000を調査した独立系の評価によると、Finacleを使用しなかった銀行よりも、資産収益率が50%増、資本収益率が30%増、コスト/インカム率が8.1%減だった。この調査はFeedback Business Consultingが実施したもので、「The Banker' for top 1000 world banks」(注1)で発表されたデータに基づいている。

SyngentaはTradeEdge Dealer Management Systemのサービスインを開始し、インドの2州で流通の管理を行った。米国の大手金融サービス2社は世界のポートフォリオの一部をサポートするために当社のCreditFinanceEdgeを選択した。米国の大手通信企業はAssistEdgeの展開領域を拡大して、顧客接触センターの改革に乗り出し、顧客体験を向上させ、顧客サービスコストを軽減した。AssistEdgeはロボット・プロセスオートメーションにも使用され、ハイテク業界のクライアント向けに発注管理プロセスを強化する。

▽買収、投資、提携

当社は今四半期、オートメーション技術の大手プロバイダーPanayaの買収を完了した。当社はPanayaのCloudQuality(TM)スイートによって、アジャイルなSaaSモデルを通じてさまざまなサービスラインのためにオートメーションを活用するとともに、クライアントのためにリスクを軽減し、コストを削減し、製品化の時間を短縮できる。

当社はデジタル体験ソリューションの大手プロバイダーであるKallidus Inc.(d.b.a Skava)とその子会社の買収で最終合意に達した。これには大手小売りクライアントに対するモバイル・コマースと店内ショッピング体験が含まれている。この買収は、残留特別手当と延滞コンポーネントを含め総額1億2000万ドルにのぼる全額現金支払いの取引である。Skavaは、世界中の大手小売りクライアントに対するモバイル、デスクトップ、店内、すべての新興チャンネルにおけるモバイル・ウェブサイト、アプリ、その他のデジタル・ショッピング体験向けのクラウド・ホスティッドプラットフォームを提供する。このプラットフォームは、小売業者がアジャイルかつ柔軟な環境を通じて顧客に対しモバイルに限定した体験を提供すること可能にし、複数チャンネルでパーソナル化を実現し顧客分析を提供する。

当社はまた、Airvizの少数株式を取得するため初期段階に200万ドルを投資することで最終合意に達した。Airvizはカーネギーメロン大学からスピンアウトした個人向けの大気汚染モニタリングの新興企業である。この投資は、破壊的な新技術への投資に割り当てられた5億ドルのInnovation Fundから出資された。これによって当社は、屋内の大気汚染を検出しそれを表示するビッグデータ・ソリューションによって急成長する個人向けの健康管理市場で影響力のある地位を固めることが可能となる。カーネギーメロン大学の特許申請中の技術を利用した手ごろな価格の微粒子モニターAirviz Speckによって、個人やコミュニティーは大気汚染に関連する有害物質を知り、検知することができる。

組織全体にデザイン思考哲学を注入する当社の戦略的な取り組みは継続している。これまでに、全社で2万5000人以上の職員がデザイン思考について訓練を受けた。また当社は、マイソールにあるInfosys Global Education Centerに新入職員のためのデザイン思考訓練センターを開設した。2万2000人以上の職員が2016会計年度中にこの訓練を受ける予定。重要な目標は、この戦略的能力を当社のクライアントに拡大することである。

RWE AGが最近デザイン思考においてインフォシスと提携したことについて、RWE AGのピーター・テリウムCEOは「当社は、現実にはわれわれ業界全体は、大幅な変革のさなかにある。RWEは市場破壊のスケールを考慮に入れ、2年前にイノベーションの取り組みをスタートした際、内部からイノベーションを推進するために外部に依頼することを選んだ。この変革の取り組みの中で、RWEは最近、長期的なパートナーのインフォシスのサポートを受けた。インフォシスはRWEのシリコンバレーの拠点で、素晴らしい能力を発揮してくれた。デザイン思考においてインフォシスと当社の相互関係は、われわれの期待した領域を拡大し、すでに大きな価値を生み出した。d.GlobalおよびStanford d.schoolの関連施設との特別な関係を通じて、インフォシスは当社の研究を加速し、RWEにとって以前から不可分な創造性と卓越の探求を増幅することを支援している。シリコンバレーをはじめ世界中で両社の戦略的かつ協力的なパートナーシップを拡大できることを期待している」と語った。

当社は華東師範大学、カリフォルニア大学アーバイン校、ウィスコンシン大学マディソン校などの大学と協力している。これらの大学は超並列データベース、ビッグデータ、ストレージ管理などの分野で有力な研究を推進している。当社はこれらの大学と緊密な協力を進め、専門的知識を活用し、共同プロジェクトを遂行し、業界使用例やワークロードに対して現代システムが有効であることを示す。この協力関係は、ビッグデータ、人工知能、インメモリーコンピューティング、分散ストレージなどの急速に進歩する分野における当社の専門的知識や製品(例えばIIPなど)を大幅に強化するとともに、当社の企業顧客によるこれらのイノベーション採用を加速する。

▽Innovation Fund(イノベーション基金)

今四半期、インフォシスは、5億万ドルのInnovation Fundを使って「Innovate in India Fund」の創設を発表した。Innovate in India Fund の2億5000万ドル(155億インドルピー)は、将来が期待できる新興インド企業への投資に使われる。これらの企業は当社が構築を進める戦略的パートナーのグローバルエコシステムに入る。Infosys Innovation Fundの一環として、当社はInfosys Incubatorの立ち上げを発表する。このIncubatorは、当社の事業を支援し、将来の成長分野をつくり出す革新的で新しい破壊的技術に取り組む企業を見つけ出し、育成し、成長させることに役立つ。これら企業を早期に指導、助言することによって、当社は大量生産でき市販できる新しいイノベーションを最初に選び出すことができ、関係する新興企業にとって生き延びるチャンスと長期的な成功が向上する。

▽事業を超えて

今年度、インフォシスは25億4000万インドルピーを企業の社会的責任(CRS)のために拠出し、同社の慈善事業部門Infosys Foundationを通じて出資する。インフォシスと子会社は2015年3月31日に終了した今四半期および今年度に、Infosys Foundationに1100万ドル、Spark-ITプログラムに4200万ドルをそれぞれ寄付した。

今四半期、Association for Computing Machinery(ACM)とInfosys FoundationはComputeing Science部門で2014 ACM-Infosys Foundation Awardの受賞者がダン・ボネ氏であると発表した。この賞は、ボネ氏がIDベース暗号においてペアリング暗号の開発とその応用に画期的な貢献をしたとして表彰した。ACM-Infosys Foundation Awardはコンピューティング分野において若い科学者やシステム開発者による最も優れた最近のイノベーションを表彰する。Infosys Foundationの基金は、17万5000ドルの年間賞に対する財政的支援を提供する。

Other Highlights

・Gross employee additions over 50,000 for the year

・Utilization (excluding trainees) expands 450 bps for the year

・Quarterly annualized attrition declines to 13.4% for Infosys Limited in Q4

"We see the industry going through a fundamental and structural transition.

Despite being a challenging quarter, I am encouraged by the early successes in

executing our Renew-New strategy, on a foundation of learning," said CEO & MD

Dr. Vishal Sikka . "Our focused employee engagement initiatives over the last

few months have resulted in containing employee attrition to one of the lowest

in recent times. And our investments in innovation and in renewing our

capabilities are helping to elevate our client relationships."

"Services growth in the fourth quarter was lower than we expected, though we

saw healthy growth in Finacle and our Edge suite. Pricing continues to be under

pressure due to increasing commoditization in the traditional outsourcing

business, requiring us to ramp up productivity through automation, and enhance

our differentiation in large engagements," said U.B. Pravin Rao, COO. "But we

are well placed to pursue healthy overall growth in the new fiscal year."

"We were able to improve profitability during the year even as we made

investments into our employees and other strategic areas. We have been able to

achieve this because of increased operating efficiencies despite a difficult

pricing environment", said Rajiv Bansal, CFO. "Consistent with our objective of

increasing shareholder returns, the Board has approved an increase in the

dividend pay-out ratio to 50% of post-tax profits. The Board has also

recommended a 1:1 bonus issue of equity shares and 1:1 stock dividend of

American Depositary Shares."

Business Highlights

As we continue to pursue our dual strategy of renewing the core and innovating

into new frontiers, we have witnessed strong client additions this quarter. We

have also enhanced our investments in new technologies and education to foster

a culture of learning and creativity.

Client wins

・ABN AMRO selected us as one of its strategic partners to drive business

transformation. We will deliver services across application development and

maintenance, testing and product implementation.

・Western Union Financial Services selected us for an 11 year turnkey project

where we take complete ownership to modernize, maintain and support its

worldwide settlement systems.

・We have been awarded a multi-year contract by House of Fraser (recently

acquired by Sanpower Group China), to transform its multichannel business and

IT infrastructure.

Frank Slevin, Chairman, House of Fraser, said, "This program will help us

realize faster time to market as we adopt new and advanced technologies to

enhance our multichannel business. The benefits from this program will also

allow us to achieve our business goals as we go global. We look forward to

building a long term strategic relationship with Infosys."

・We have been chosen as a strategic partner by an American fashion retailer to

manage its service desk, infrastructure and application support services. This

solution will provide the client considerable cost savings, direct business

benefits and innovation capabilities, thus enabling them to focus on strategic

business initiatives.

・A leading global express delivery company, selected us to simplify and

transform its technology applications. As part of this engagement, we will

provide application development and maintenance services, as well as provide

digital technologies to reduce complexity and cost, while increasing customer

engagement.

Platforms

Infosys Information Platform (IIP) has seen increased traction in the market.

IIP demonstrates our ability to create state-of-the-art platforms by bringing

together domain expertise, learnability, the open source ecosystem, and a

highly motivated team.

・Syngenta, a world leader in agribusiness, had application performance

challenges in their Management Reporting Solution due to large volume of data.

Infosys did a Proof of Concept with using the Infosys Information Platform to

improve the performance of Management Reporting solution. The IIP could inject

19 Million records in 6 minutes compared to more than 1 hour for injecting half

a million records. Similarly IIP could do report/dashboard navigation in less

than 5 seconds as against more than a minute in the current platform.

・Syngenta, has leveraged the Infosys Automation platform to automate SAP user

authorization requests, thereby saving $ 1 million per year on IT operations

costs. Additionally, this has improved user productivity through speedy closure

of authorization requests.

・The Hershey Company, a global confectionery leader, engaged us as a strategic

partner for consulting and technology services. The company selected Infosys

Information Platform (IIP) to turn diverse data into knowledge and insights as

it places consumer, customer, market, and industry understanding at the center

of its decisions.

Carlos E. Amesquita, Chief Information Officer, The Hershey Company, said, "At

its heart, Hershey is a knowledge company. Infosys and its new IIP platform

bring enhanced capabilities and speed to ingest diverse data sets, harmonize

and link them together to transform disparate data into actionable knowledge

and insights."

Finacle

Finacle(TM)sustained its business momentum with 23 wins and 11 go-lives this

quarter. Discover Financial Services, a leading U.S. direct bank and payment

services company, which engaged Finacle last year, won the Celent Model Bank

award for its core banking transformation program. During the quarter, an

independent assessment of the top 1,000 world banks, revealed that banks

powered by Finacle enjoy 50 percent higher return on assets, 30 percent higher

return on capital, and 8.1 percent lesser cost to income than others. The

research was conducted by Feedback Business Consulting based on the data

published by 'The Banker' for top 1000 world banks[1].

・Qantas Credit Union was a significant win for Finacle this quarter in the

Australian market. Commenting on the engagement, Scott King, Chief Executive

Officer, Qantas Credit Union said, "Digitization is changing the banking

environment rapidly. To effectively compete and keep pace with the evolving

demand of our members, we need to transform our technology and operations.

After many months on rigorous evaluation, we have partnered with Infosys. I am

confident that Infosys with its globally successful Finacle platform will

create the foundation for our future success and will help us deliver

best-in-class banking services to our members."

EdgeVerve

EdgeVerve has seen growth both in terms of revenue and client base. We had 12

wins and three client go-lives in the quarter.

・Syngenta went live with TradeEdge Dealer Management System to manage

distributors in two states in India. This will be rolled out to distributors

across other states next year.

・Two marquee U.S. financial services giants selected our CreditFinanceEdge to

support parts of their global portfolios. A large U.S. telecommunication

company increased its AssistEdge footprint and took another step towards

transforming its customer contact centers, improving customer experience and

reducing customer service costs. AssistEdge is also being used for robotic

process automation to enhance the order management process for a high-tech

industry client.

Acquisitions, Investments and Partnerships

・This quarter, we completed the acquisition of Panaya, a leading provider of

automation technology. Panaya's CloudQuality? suite will enable us to leverage

automation for several of our service lines through an agile SaaS model, and

help mitigate risk, reduce costs and decrease time-to-market for clients.

・We have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Kallidus Inc. (d.b.a

Skava) and its affiliate, a leading provider of digital experience solutions,

including mobile commerce and in-store shopping experiences to large retail

clients. This acquisition is an all-cash deal for a total consideration of $120

million including retention bonus and a deferred component. Skava delivers a

cloud hosted platform for mobile websites, apps, and other digital shopping

experiences across mobile, tablet, desktop, in-store, and all emerging channels

to large retail clients worldwide. The platform enables retailers to provide a

mobile specific experience to their customers through an agile and flexible

environment, enabling personalization and delivering customer analytics across

multiple channels.

・We also entered into a definitive agreement for an early-stage investment of

$ 2 million in Airviz, to acquire a minority share.  Airviz is a personal air

quality monitoring startup and spinout from Carnegie Mellon University. This

investment was made out of the $ 500 million Innovation Fund earmarked for

investments in disruptive new technologies, and positions us as a driving force

in the fast-growing personal health monitoring market with a big data solution

that provides indoor air pollution sensing and visualization. Airviz Speck, an

affordable, fine particulate monitor, which uses patent-pending technology from

Carnegie Mellon University, can empower individuals and communities to

understand and identify health hazards related to air quality.

?Our strategic endeavor to inject the design thinking philosophy across the

organization continues. Till date, more than 25,000 employees across the

company have been trained in design thinking. We have also established a design

thinking training course for new joiners at the Infosys Global Education Center

in Mysore. More than 22,000 trainees are expected to undergo this training in

FY16. An important aspiration is to extend this strategic capability with our

clients. This quarter we have successfully conducted more than 20 design

thinking engagements with our clients and the feedback from them has been very

encouraging.

Speaking about RWE AG's recent engagement with Infosys on design thinking,

Peter Terium, Chief Executive Officer, RWE AG, said, "Our company, and in fact,

our entire industry is in the midst of a massive transformation. Given the

scale of the market disruption, RWE has chosen to go outside in order to better

innovate from within when we started our innovation journey more than two years

ago. In this change journey, RWE has also recently received the support of our

long-term partner Infosys. Infosys helped to bring this exciting capability to

life at RWE's Silicon Valley outpost. Our interactions with Infosys on Design

Thinking have already yielded great value by increasing the scope of what we

even thought of as possible. Through their unique relationship with d.Global

and the faculty affiliated with the Stanford d.school, Infosys is helping us to

accelerate our learning and to amplify the creativity and quest for excellence

that has always been an integral part of RWE. I look forward to an increasingly

strategic and collaborative partnership between our companies in the Silicon

Valley and around the Globe."

・We are collaborating with universities like East China Normal University,

University of California, Irvine and University of Wisconsin-Madison, which are

the leading research universities in areas like massively parallel databases,

big data and storage management. We will work closely with these universities,

leveraging their expertise, executing joint projects, and validating these

modern systems against industry use cases and workloads. This collaboration

will significantly enhance our expertise and products (like IIP) in the rapidly

evolving areas of big data, artificial intelligence, in-memory computing, and

distributed storage, while accelerating the adoption of these innovations among

our enterprise customers.

Innovation Fund

This quarter, Infosys announced the creation of an 'Innovate in India Fund'

from its $ 500 million Innovation Fund. The $ 250 million (INR 1,550 crore)

Innovate in India Fund will be dedicated to investments in promising new Indian

companies. These companies will be inducted into the global ecosystem of

strategic partners that we are building.

As part of the Infosys Innovation fund, we are announcing the launch of the

Infosys Incubator. This incubator will help identify, nurture and grow

companies engaged in innovative, new, and disruptive technologies that can help

our business, and create future growth areas. By guiding and mentoring these

businesses early, we hope to have the first pick of new innovations that we can

bring to market and scale, thus improving the chances of viability and

long-term success for the startups involved.

Beyond Business

This fiscal Infosys pledged INR 254 crore towards Corporate Social

Responsibility (CSR) which is primarily being carried out through the Infosys

Foundation, its philanthropic arm.

For the quarter and year ended March 31, 2015, Infosys and its subsidiaries

donated $ 11 million and $ 42 million to Infosys Foundation and to the Spark-IT

program.

During the quarter, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the

ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences category. The award

recognizes Boneh's ground-breaking contributions to the development of

pairing-based cryptography and its application in identity-based encryption.
