Infosys (INFY) & Financial Times Pact on Digital Innovation
Read MoreHide Full Article
Infosys (INFY - Free Report) recently announced a collaboration with one of the world’s leading business news organizations, Financial Times (FT). As part of the agreement, Infosys will be the Digital Innovation Partner for FT and leverage its digital innovation to support the latest creative and engaging data-led storytelling experiences to the latter’s readers.
The latest digital innovation alliance will deliver creative and immersive journalism through digital channels. Through digital techniques, FT intends to engage with the readers and bring stories that matter most to them, and deliver editorial features in more enterprising and eye-catching ways.
As part of the digital alliance, the firms will work together to digitize FT’s crossword puzzles by developing a crossword app. Crossword is one of the most loved and traditional features of the business news organization as FT’s crosswords have a loyal global following over decades. Thus, the digital format of crosswords will help the business news publication house target a wider global audience.
Infosys has been strengthening its core competencies by pursuing collaborations and acquisitions. Its alliance strategy is targeted at teaming up with leading technology providers, enabling it to capitalize on the emerging technologies in a mutually-advantageous and cost-competitive manner.
Of late, the company has been gaining from large deal wins and fast-growing digital services. It reported revenues of $4 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, up 20.7%, primarily due to large deal wins.
During the fiscal second quarter, the next-generation digital and consulting service major signed multiple large deals worth $2.15 billion. Digital revenues accounted for more than 56% of its total revenues.
With the pandemic accelerating the digital transformation process, the latest Mordor Intelligence report states that the global digital transformation market is expected to reach $2.74 trillion by 2026 from $999 billion in 2020, indicating a CAGR of 17.4%.
Infosys has been reinforcing its digital-transformation capabilities for expanding and solidifying the firm’s position in the highly competitive environment. Infosys is enabling its clients across more than 45 countries to create and execute strategies for their digital transformation.
However, Infosys is suffering from the increasing anti-outsourcing sentiments in certain countries. Higher subcontractor costs, and the company’s compensation revision with a higher variable pay and incentives are weighing on margins. Further, the currency volatility between the Indian rupee and the U.S. dollar is a major concern.
