Cummins selects Infosys as global preferred vendor

Mumbai, Feb 27 (UNI) Infosys Technologies today announced that it has been selected as a global preferred vendor (GPV) by Cummins Inc that designs, manufactures and sells diesel engines and related technologies.

Infosys would join two other GPVs in driving the IT requirements of Cummins having business in more than 160 countries, Infosys informed the BSE.

It would help Cummins for IT application outsourcing and business consulting services. This new partnership will bolster Cummins operations so it may handle the growing global demand for power technologies and components.

Cummins launched an effort in January 2007 to identify its GPVs, who would help the Company transform its IT application outsourcing to support growth in core technical capabilities and global reach.

Infosys was the only new company selected during this rigorous process. Together, the Cummins and Infosys team will deploy IT solutions that will help Cummins grow to more than USD 20 billion in revenue over the next several years.
