Infosys Chosen for its Global Presence and Business Transformation ExpertiseBangalore, India - Feb 27, 2008: Infosys Technologies Limited (NASDAQ: INFY) today announced that Cummins Inc., which designs, manufactures and sells diesel engines and related technologies, has named Infosys as one of three Global Preferred Vendors (GPVs) for IT application outsourcing and business consulting services. This new partnership will bolster Cummins operations so it may handle the growing global demand for power technologies and components.
"We're a Fortune 500 company that embraces technology as a strategic platform to business growth," said Gail Farnsley, CIO, Cummins. "Our ambitious plans to grow and gain market share through effective use of technology is enabled by our IT partners. We selected Infosys because it ranked as the top partner candidate capable of meeting and exceeding our transformational performance expectations."
Cummins, which serves customers in more than 160 countries, launched an effort in January 2007 to identify its GPVs who would help the company transform its IT application outsourcing to support growth in core technical capabilities and global reach. Infosys was the only new company selected during this rigorous process. Together, the Cummins and Infosys team will deploy IT solutions that will help Cummins grow to more than $20 billion in revenue over the next several years.
"We conducted a thorough Six Sigma initiative designed to align our IT partners with our business requirements. We evaluated 13 companies and Infosys was selected as one of our GPVs due to its credentials, experience, global presence, and ability to take us to the next level," said Chris Edwards, director of Cummins Supplier Relationship Management.

Srinivas, senior vice president and head of manufacturing, Infosys Technologies.
