Analog Devices benefits from Infosys applications

Bangalore, Mar 6 (UNI) Analog Devices, a global leader in high-performance signal processing solutions, has realised a more than 40 per cent cost reduction in operating its IT systems and processes in conjunction with Indian software major Infosys Technologies Ltd.

Infosys had during the last two years worked on multiple application development and maintenance projects for Analog Devices, enabling the company to successfully align its IT initiatives to business requirements, Infosys said in a release here today.

The company had provided a wide range of services to help Analog Devices, including enhancement of internet/intranet applications, infrastructure management/support for their web-based applications and SAP support in their sales and marketing operations.

Additionally, improved content management, a refined website and an advanced internal process management portal led to significant increase in internal and external customer satisfaction. While Analog Devices grew steadily during this period, the Infosys partnership helped its IT organisation retain its lean profile, while increasing support and alignment with the business.

''Our business requires us to be agile as a company in a fast-moving, innovation-driven industry. Therefore, as an IT organisation, we must be continuously improving. Our relationship with Infosys helped us rise to this challenge,'' Analog Devices COO Larry Loh said.

''Infosys' primary task of assisting Analog Devices to be flexible and efficient in the midst of tremendous growth was possible mainly through our sharp focus on their customers and business goals, as well as our utilisation of the global delivery model, which allows us to tap into IT talent pools from around the world to deliver the best services at a highly competitive price,'' Mr Prasad Thrikutam, Head of the High-Tech and Discrete Manufacturing business unit at Infosys, said.
