Bengaluru: In a deal that will help it gain more share in the European market, Infosys announced that it has won a five-year deal from BMW Group for application basis infrastructure management services.
Infosys will open a new delivery centre in Munich as part of its global service delivery team and cover services, such as maintenance and operations of the web infrastructure, content management, SAP Basis operations, IT for IT (the company's internal IT system) and the business intelligence systems of BMW Group.
The second-largest IT services firm in the country garners around 24% of the revenues from Europe, where it is looking for more growth.
Last September, it acquired Swiss consulting firm, Lodestone, for over $350 million (Rs 1,930 crore). In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the revenues from Euro went up 16.6% sequentially and 14.4% on constant currency terms. This was a reflection of the business gain through the acquisition.
"Our new delivery centre in Munich will help us achieve this objective for BMW and allow us to expand our local presence in a key growth market," said Ashok Vemuri, global head of manufacturing and engineering services at Infosys,
Overall Europe contributes a little under 30% of the $76 billion in exports that the Indian IT-BPO industry is expected to clock in the year to March 2013, with most of it coming from the UK and Nordic region
