Infosys Makes a Latin American Presence
Infosys inaugurated the company's first Latin American subsidiary by hosting an inaugural ceremony in Monterrey, Mexico. The inauguration was attended by the President of the Mexican United States, H. E. Felipe de Jesús Calderón Hinojosa, Chairman of the Board and Chief Mentor, Infosys Technologies Limited, Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy and the Governor of the State of Nuevo León, Mr. José Natividad González Parás.
This Latin American subsidiary, Infosys Technologies S. De R.L. De CV, provides the company’s full range of business consulting and information technology services for clients in all industries including banking, financial services, distribution, retail, and more. The center provides key offerings in business process outsourcing (BPO), infrastructure management and packaged solutions implementation.
“Mexico has embraced Infosys and worked with us to establish this innovative development centre," said Infosys Technologies Chief Mentor N R Narayana Murthy. Further to this Mr. Murthy also added that their public-private partnership is already serving half-dozen global clients in multiple industries and 87 new employees.
The facility at Mexico would provide Infosys with dedicated resources to service clients in North America, Latin America and Europe. After examining several countries in the region, Infosys chose to establish a presence in Mexico due to the broad language skills available in the region, its cultural similarities to Canada, the U.S. and Europe. Latin America is a strong emerging market and one where many of Infosys` clients have operations already.
