Infosys to hire 100 in Australia

Infosys confirmed today that it intended to hire 100 staff in Australia over the term of its financial year. The positions would be senior and middle level roles, according to a spokesperson for the company, but there was no information on where exactly those roles would be based. Infosys has offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Infosys just won a deal with Telstra for application development and maintenance. The work, which Infosys would share with EDS, was worth US$450 million, of which EDS said it had netted US$190 million. The contract was mentioned in the company's global financial results for the quarter ending 30 June, released last Friday. The company's revenues for the quarter had declined 2.9 per cent year on year. The Infosys financial year started in April and ends in March.
