Infosys Technologies Limited (NASDAQ: INFY), a world leader in consulting and information technology (IT) services, today announced its selection as "Best Outsourcing Partner" by the readers of Waters, the leading publication covering the needs of chief information officers in today's global capital market firms. Waters Rankings recognizes the outstanding achievements of solutions providers that help financial institutions generate revenue and service their clients efficiently.

"Like other companies selected in Waters Rankings, Infosys Technologies has demonstrated a strong understanding of the particular business challenges facing financial services firms," said Ben Ray, group publisher of Waters and other financial IT titles at Incisive Media. "Our readers have a clear idea when they must choose the best outsourcing partner in a crowded and highly respected field. Infosys leads the way in the outsourcing space for financial service firms on Wall Street and The City."

Nearly 600 individuals voted for the 2007 Rankings.
