Infosys joins hands with Gen-i
Infosys and Gen-i have entered into a strategic partnership. The partnership will create a new choice for Australasian enterprises seeking local expertise and commitment, as well as global best practices and capabilities in IT services including IT consulting, business transformation and cloud-based offerings. The partnership also has significant potential to further grow New Zealand-based technology jobs.
Infosys has also acquired Gen-i's Software Solutions practice and offered positions to its more than 110 employees and contractors, who will continue to be based in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
The partnership will be undertaken by Infosys Australia and New Zealand, the Australasian arm of the global technology services and consulting company, Infosys Technologies, and Gen-i, the corporate ICT arm of Telecom, New Zealand. Infosys has announced that the current Software Solutions management team will lead New Zealand delivery for Infosys, with Patrick Kouwenhoven appointed to run New Zealand operations under the leadership of Ashok Mysore, Associate Vice-President, Infosys.
Jackie Korhonen, CEO & Managing Director, Infosys Australia and New Zealand, said, "Our partnership with Gen-i makes sense because we share core values and complement each other's strengths to fill some critical gaps in the marketplace. We will be adding our global R&D, business transformation and industry-specific capabilities to an iconic New Zealand brand."
Chris Quin, CEO, Gen-i Australasia, said that the new partnership creates new value for New Zealand and Australian enterprises by combining Gen-i's local relationships and capability with the global expertise and best practices of Infosys.
