Mumbai: Information technology major Infosys Technologies has reorganised its business into 11 units in order to tap the growing domestic market.
Infosys has formed six vertical industry business units (IBUs) and five horizontal business units (HBUs) that cut across all the vertical units, the NASDAQ-listed company said.
The reorganisation, effective November 2007, will help Bangalore-based Infosys enhance the "One Infy" experience and will in turn deepen Infosys'' transformational capabilities, the company said in a release.
The European business has been divided into industry verticals, which will be integrated within the IBUs.
The new growth engines (NGE) unit has been formed to expand business in Australia, China, Japan, the Middle-East, Canada, South America and Latin America.
A separate business unit, to be headed by Srinath Batni, member of the board, has been set up to focus on India and to tap the growing domestic market, while there would be increased focus on delivery excellence.
The reorganisation, effective November 2007, will help Infosys enhance the `One Infy'' experience and will in turn deepen Infosys'' transformational capabilities. The restructuring will also help Infosys broaden its customer base and strengthen its current portfolio through scale benefits. The new opportunities will leverage the strengths of the next generation of leaders at Infosys.
