Infosys, a global leader in consulting and technology, will expand its presence in the United States with a new delivery center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The facility will provide end-to-end technology, consulting and systems integration services, and also will house a training center. The software major is investing in the Midwest region of the United States to support its clients in the area, including Harley-Davidson. The initiation of a five-year engagement with the world’s leading American motorcycle manufacturer was the catalyst for locating the new delivery center in Milwaukee. The new Wisconsin delivery center will be operational later this year.
Besides, Harley-Davidson’s contract with Infosys provides a range of technology services including applications management, infrastructure support and hosting services. As part of this long-term partnership, Infosys also will establish a training center to facilitate knowledge reuse and to conduct education related to information technology operations and business processes.
Further, the Milwaukee facility joins the existing 17 locations in the United States that Infosys has opened as part of its ongoing commitment to local job creation. Infosys hired 1,200 people in the United States in 2011, and has already added more than 1,000 employees in the country this year. Total US recruitment is expected to be close to 2,000 by the end of 2012. The new Wisconsin delivery center initially will house 125 seats, including the positions expected to migrate from Harley-Davidson.
Infosys provides business consulting, technology, engineering and outsourcing services to help clients in over 30 countries build tomorrow’s enterprise.
