Key Findings & Highlights:
Cloud services bring application and infrastructure services closer together, and Infosys is looking to expand its relatively small footprint in the infrastructure space. To enable this, it launched a cloud offering in 2012 that focuses on assisting clients in migration applications to cloud environments, as well maintaining, orchestrating and provisioning environments hosted across a number of partners. To support this migration focused approach, in 2015 Infosys invested $4m in Israeli software start-up CloudEndure, to expand its automation capabilities supporting application migrations.
Infosys has focused its cloud offerings on migrating applications to cloud environments and then managing those environments, while leveraging partnerships for the actual hosting.
Infosys has ~15k employees in its cloud, infrastructure and security practice, with ~2k of these focused on cloud service activities. Of these, 70% (1,400) are located in India, with the remaining 30% spread geographically close to Infosys clients.
