Vendor Analysis
published on Mar 01, 2019
Report Overview:
Infosys primarily provides software testing services through its Infosys Validation Solutions (IVS) unit, which was founded in 2001. It initially serviced websites and e-commerce applications as an independent service (from ADM activities), focusing on TCoEs. IVS is a horizontal service line with ownership on P&L and delivery, as well as on pre-sales, centers of expertise, and portfolio management.
IVS is a large practice within Infosys and has 24.5k career testers (at the end of FY18). This headcount does not include an additional 2k career testers working in other Infosys units. IVS, therefore, represents ~11% of Infosys' total headcount.
IVS has ~435 clients. Major IVS clients include tier one organizations: Kraft Heinz, Honda, Prime Therapeutics, and Arizona Public Service. IVS has a track record in gaining very large standalone testing contracts, with TCVs of up to ~$100m and a regular flow of contracts in the $10m-$50m range.
