BENGALURU, India, July 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Follows ranking as a Leader by Independent Research Firm in Multi-Cloud Managed 
Service Providers Evaluation

Infosys[https://www.infosys.com/] (NSE: BSE, NYSE: INFY), a global leader in 
next-generation digital services and consulting, today announced that it has 
been positioned as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Application Modernization 
and Migration Services, Q3 2021 report. This announcement follows Infosys' 
recent recognition as a Leader in The Forrester WaveTM: Multi-Cloud Managed 
Service Providers, Q4 2020 report. For Infosys, the positioning in these 
assessments highlight its vision, and the broad spectrum of cloud capabilities 
delivered through Infosys 
Cobalt[https://www.infosys.com/services/cloud-cobalt.html] across application 
modernization and migration, and multi-cloud managed services.
 
For the Application Modernization and Migration Services, Q3 2021 report, 
Forrester[https://go.forrester.com/] evaluated 14 providers across 26 criteria 
and grouped into three high-level categories: current offering, strategy, and 
market presence. Infosys received the highest score possible in the service 
capabilities, execution roadmap, performance, and investments in training and 
skilling criteria. The report acknowledges Infosys' Live 
Enterprise[https://www.infosys.com/navigate-your-next/being-resilient.html] 
model, in which enterprises armed with knowledge and data-enabled insights can 
adapt rapidly to changing business conditions. The report also recognizes 
Infosys as a good fit for most modernization and migration opportunities, 
especially application reimplementation within its existing installed base and 
in the banking sector. The report further notes that Infosys' boasts a broad 
range of assets for service delivery and vertical industry solutioning relative 
to other providers.

"In the 2021 market for the application modernization and migration services, 
we're witnessing a continuing shift toward modernization enabled by advanced 
cloud-native technologies, with a correspondingly lower emphasis on 
infrastructure-led lift-and-shift migration." wrote Bill Martorelli, Principal 
Analyst, Forrester Research, in the report. In the Infosys profile, he wrote: 
Infosys' app migration and modernization services sit within its Cobalt 
program, an overarching cloud framework featuring a panoply of solution 
accelerators and methodologies. The program itself doubles down on 
modernization-specific tasks." 

In the Multi-Cloud Managed Service Providers Forrester Wave(TM) report, 
Infosys' focus on applications services, including build, migrate, operate, and 
modernize on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud have been noted. Modernization was 
called out a strong focal point and the report also recognized Infosys Cobalt, 
a collection of services, solutions, and platforms to accelerate enterprise 
cloud journey. According to the report, Infosys has been a long-standing player 
in cloud management technology and is a good fit for companies seeking 
particularly strong migration and modernization services to assist a smooth and 
speedy migration.

Commenting on the recognition, Ravi Kumar S, President, Infosys, said, 
"Enterprises globally are looking at transforming their technology landscape by 
modernizing their business-critical applications through cloud technologies. 
Our clients have time and again expressed concerns around the risk of business 
disruption and the need for a noiseless transition in their modernization 
programs. With the Infosys Modernization 
Suite[https://www.infosys.com/services/application-modernization/offerings/moder
nization-suite.html], part of Infosys Cobalt, we simplify the modernization 
journey for enterprises and accelerate innovation at scale. We are proud to be
