10. Sustainability
Infosys began its journey in India's business environment
in the 1980s, in an era when endless red tape was
imposed on the private sector. In this environment,
building a company whose long-term objectives included
operational longevity, high ethical standards and global
respect demanded commitment to a core set of values.
For Infosys, these values focus on instilling trust in our
relationships with all stakeholders, including employees,
investors, clients, society and the communities in which
Infosys operates.
At Infosys, we believe that we must develop trust with the
communities in which we operate to achieve longevity as
a corporation. Through the Infosys Foundation, which
receives a grant every year from Infosys (the last year's
grant was US$ 3 million) we contribute to betterment of
healthcare (hospitals, infrastructure), education (books,
scholarships, refurbishment of infrastructure) and skills

stringent corporate governance. Infosys was also among
the first Indian companies to voluntarily comply with the
US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
and now provides financial results in the GAAP of six
countries
With employees from over 70 nationalities, Infosys has
built an enduring value system based on openness,
honesty, fairness and transparency, which has earned us
the confidence and trust of our clients. We enjoy +95%

34. Human resource management
Employees are our vital and most valuable assets. We have created
a favorable work environment that encourages innovation and
meritocracy. We have also set up a scalable recruitment and human
resources management process, which enables us to attract and
retain
high caliber employees. We added 6,837 (net) and 18,905 (gross)
employees, taking our total strength to 92,688 up from 85,851 at the
end of the previous year. Our attrition rate stands at 13.4%
compared
to 11.1% for the previous year. Over the last year, we received
4,00,812
applications from prospective employees and we continue to remain
an employer of choice in the industry.
During the year, we implemented the Infosys Role and Career
Enhancement (iRACE) program. iRACE aligns talent management
activities with client priorities, business needs and employee
aspirations. We are excited about the influence iRACE will have on
35. Education & Research
`
We understand the significance of learning and continual education
in providing our employees with latest skills and technologies.
We believe this will help in creating a challenging, entrepreneurial and
empowering work environment that rewards dedication and a strong
work ethic for our employees. We have instituted two specialized
units, Education & Research and the Infosys Leadership Institute
(ILI) to address the learning needs of our Company.
The Infosys Global Education Center, a world-class training facility
established at our campus in Mysore, India, is aimed at consolidating
the learning requirements across the Company. With a total built-up
area of 1.44 million square feet, the Infosys Global Education Center
can accommodate the training needs of approximately 14,000
employees at a time.
Our training, continuing education and career development programs
are designed to ensure that our technology professionals and leaders
enhance their skill-sets in alignment with their respective roles.
Most of the engineering graduates we hire complete an integrated
on-the-job training module of about 20 to 29 weeks before they are
assigned to a business unit.
36. Our employees also undergo certification programs periodically to
develop the skills relevant for their roles. During the year, the total
days of training doubled to over two million person-days. In addition,
we have been working with several colleges across India through
our CampusConnect program, enabling their faculty to provide
industry-related training to their students.
As of March 31, 2010, the Education & Research unit employed
around 610 full-time faculty members, including 208 with doctorate
or master’s degree.
During the year, the Education & Research unit published a
compendium of white papers. These are also shared with our
partner
CampusConnect institutions. The compendium covers domains
such as computing model and systems, software architecture and
information and theory application in supply chain management.
Researchers from the group have also published papers in
renowned
international publications and conference proceedings
37. Our Education & Research unit has received the following awards
and recognitions during the year :
Golden Peacock National Training Award for the year 2009
The American Society for Training & Development (ASTD)
BEST
award in 2009 for the fifth consecutive year
The first Indian company inducted into the Global Most
Admired
Knowledge Enterprise (MAKE) Hall of Fame, retaining our
position
for the fifth consecutive year
The Asian MAKE Award 2009
Ranked at the top in the Indian MAKE Award 2009, for the
second
year after 2005.
ILI focuses exclusively on developing leadership skills for our
senior-most and high potential tier leaders. Each tier leader is
assigned an ILI counselor for personalized coaching and for
38. IT Infrastructure
Taking Green IT initiatives forward, during the year we have replaced
over 7,000 desktops with newer models that have a maximum power
rating of 91W, compared to the older models which were at 120W. We
have extended the optimized power management configuration for over
69,000 desktops. This has brought about an estimated 25% reduction
in power demand by desktops. An in-house application named
‘Terminator’ has been developed and rolled out on all desktops. This
application is designed to ensure that the desktop is shut down either
by the user or automatically at a pre-defined time after working hours.
Continuing our efforts toward restructuring the existing data centers
and server rooms, we have remodeled eight large and medium-sized
server rooms and four dedicated Offshore Development Centers
(ODCs) in order to increase the cooling efficiency and effectiveness,
using less power. The steps involved have been consolidation of servers,
re-modeling of the racks as per cold and hot aisle designs, replacement
of older systems with newer ones, room re-sizing and usage of overhead
cable trays which ensure better airflow under the floor. As a result,
a number of air conditioning units have been de-commissioned to save
power in each room, while the usage of newer systems for consolidation
led to considerable power savings.
39. Moving away from dedicated computing infrastructure used
for software development and testing, to a shared, secure and
virtualized environment, we have built an internal enterprise
cloud.
This infrastructure is capable of hosting around 3,000 virtual
machines
and has an easy-to-use ‘Self-Service’ portal with template-
based
agile provisioning and simplified management of virtual
machines.
We are targeting the substitution of additional desktops and
servers
physically installed in our server rooms and labs with these
virtual machines.
In addition to enabling faster provisioning, reduction in build / re-
build
time and optimal resource utilization, this implementation would
save
power and cooling since it requires just around 20% of the total
40. Competition
We operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing market and
compete with consulting firms such as Accenture Limited, Atos Origin
S.A., Cap Gemini S.A., and Deloitte Consulting LLP; divisions of large
multinational technology firms such as Hewlett-Packard Company
and International Business Machines Corporation; IT outsourcing
firms such as Computer Sciences Corporation, Keane Inc., Logica
Plc and Dell Perot Systems; offshore technology services firms such
as Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation, Tata Consultancy
Services Limited and Wipro Technologies Limited; software firms such
as Oracle Corporation and SAP A.G.; business process outsourcing
firms such as Genpact Limited and WNS Global Services and in-house
IT departments of large corporations.
In the future, we expect competition from firms establishing and
building their offshore presence and firms in countries with lower
personnel costs than those prevailing in India. However, we recognize
that price alone cannot constitute a sustainable competitive advantage.
We believe that the principal competitivea factors in our business
include the ability to effectively integrate onsite and offshore execution
capabilities to deliver seamless, scalable, cost-effective services; increase
scale and breadth of service offerings to provide one-stop solutions;
provide industry expertise to clients’ business solutions; attract and
retain high-quality technology professionals and maintain financial
strength to make strategic investments in human resources and physical
infrastructure through business cycles.
We believe we compete favorably with respect to these factors.
