The company, which announced a new delivery center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, said that it plans to take its hiring in the country to 2,000 by the end of 2012.
Infosys' new Wisconsin facility will provide end-to-end technology, consulting and systems integration services, and also will house a training center. The company is investing in the Midwest region of the United States to support its clients in the area, including Harley-Davidson.
Harley-Davidson's contract with Infosys provides a range of technology services including applications management, infrastructure support and hosting services. As part of this long-term partnership, Infosys also will establish a training center to facilitate knowledge reuse and to conduct education related to information technology operations and business processes.
The Milwaukee facility joins the existing 17 locations in the United States that Infosys has opened as part of its ongoing commitment to local job creation. Infosys hired 1,200 people in the United States in 2011, and has already added more than 1,000 employees in the country this year. The new Wisconsin delivery center initially will house 125 seats, including the positions expected to migrate from Harley-Davidson.
"It is critical for Infosys to create global hubs of talent, and the Midwest is a key region with a number of our important clients," said Ashok Vemuri, head of the Americas and member of the board at Infosys. "We welcome Harley-Davidson as our lead client at the new Wisconsin center, and look forward to servicing additional customers from this location, providing innovative technology and consulting solutions as we help build tomorrow's enterprises."
The new Wisconsin delivery center will be operational later this year. Infosys also plans to expand this site in the near future, establishing centers of excellence for specific domain and technology areas.
