Infosys opens its first office in NZ

IT services and outsourcing company, Infosys Technologies, has established official premises in New Zealand, opening its first office in Wellington.The company’s new NZ headquarters was chosen for its proximity to Infosys’ major clients such as Telecom, which has part of its IT operations based out of Wellington. Up to 100 Infosys employees will operate from NZ at any one time, spread across client sites and the new office.Jackie Korhonen, CEO and Managing Director of Infosys in Australia and New Zealand says the opening comes at the end of steady growth over the past 12 months.“We wanted to be closer to the action,” he says. “New Zealand is an important market for us and we’ll be pursuing both new business and partnership opportunities in the New Year as well as continuing to service our existing clients.” Infosys is currently implementing a major project with Telecom to establish a best-of-breed testing services capability, which will help it become more agile in New Zealand’s increasingly competitive telco market.
