    Expansion of services and significant projects
    Infosys continues to win transformational deals, solution-based
engagements, and systems integration projects as clients seek a trusted
partner in their journeys.
    Clients are leveraging Infosys' industry expertise on projects directed
at gaining a competitive advantage. A leading manufacturer and marketer of
beauty care products, Alberto Culver Company, selected us to enhance its
trade promotion effectiveness. We will deliver advanced category analytics
services to help the company improve pricing, promotions and category
management decisions. A developer and marketer of video games software and
content is using our enterprise collaboration platform to ensure sustained
community interaction and innovation management. We defined a collaboration
platform strategy and roadmap for a high tech manufacturer, and the
implementation is expected to result in significant cost savings and enhanced
customer satisfaction. We are helping a high tech major, through our Supply
Chain Visibility platform, to enable better KPI tracking, incident
management, SLA compliance, and overall decision making. We are also helping
the company to develop a repeatable and standardized approach for delivering
services. A manufacturing major awarded us a deal to standardize its global
processes as per contextual business needs. A premium food retailer,
Waitrose, selected us as its partner for a multi-channel commerce
transformation program. A transportation major engaged us to meet its
strategic needs of global product development by integrating engineering and
manufacturing data.
    Infosys' consulting services is contributing to growth. A provider of
workflow solutions sought our consulting services for a transformational
project deploying a human capital management system that supports global and
local processes in more than 25 countries. The client also engaged us to
transform its end-to-end business processes to accelerate integration of
acquisitions and speed up time-to-market for new products.
    Market leaders across the world are benefiting from Infosys' engineering
services, particularly its Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) expertise. A
global manufacturer engaged us for PLM services, including roadmap definition
and assessment. In addition, we are working with another global manufacturer
to support its PLM program, and a global consumer packaged goods company to
transform its PLM platform.
    Infosys continues to strengthen its position in the banking and capital
markets sector. A leading bank chose us to help it architect a future-state
platform for client payment authorizations as well as conduct performance
testing on one of its key online banking channels. Another leading bank
selected us to provide functional consulting support for a Human Resources
Management System (HRMS) rollout across 36 countries. Telstra, Australia's
leading telecommunications and information services company, selected us as
one of its key strategy partners to support its five-year AUD 450 million
contracts for application development and maintenance.
    We developed and delivered a global template to an agribusiness to
establish a scalable enterprise computing platform. We implemented a
forecasting and planning application at a large airline company which
involved planning ground manpower resources to service airplanes. As a
result, the company improved processing by more than 40 percent.
    Learning Services' innovative solutions have been acclaimed by our
clients. During fiscal 2008, we had introduced 'Learning Services' that
modernizes and integrates traditionally separate functions such as training,
learning, e-learning, talent development, and knowledge management. During Q1
of this fiscal, a high tech manufacturer sought our expertise to create and
execute a strategy to design change communication, and build content to help
users adapt to new technologies in the social arena. In addition, Learning
Services was awarded a project by a consumer electronics company to develop a
technology architecture to support the induction of new customer service
agents.
    "The global currency markets continue to be volatile. During the quarter,
the rupee appreciated against the US dollar," said V. Balakrishnan, Chief
Financial Officer. "We continue to focus on margins while making the right
investments to accelerate growth."
