Bangalore, March 12, 2015

Infosys (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation services, today announced that it has been honored with the coveted Daimler Supplier Award 2014 at the Mercedes-Benz Center in Stuttgart, Germany at a ceremony attended by 450 representatives of the major suppliers and about 200 representatives of Daimler management.

Infosys received the prestigious Daimler Supplier Award in the Outstanding Quality category, for professionalism in the provision of IT Data Center Services. The award was presented by Wilfried Porth, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, Human Resources and Director of Labor Relations and Mercedes-Benz Vans and Wendelin Wolbert, Head of International Procurement Services.

Infosys has been working with Daimler for over 12 years with its cars, trucks and financial services business units across the globe. As a trusted partner for Daimler, Infosys has been delivering on key projects such as consulting for key business functions along with application development & support for both SAP-based and custom technology platforms.

Last year, Infosys successfully completed a large & complex transition program to take over support operations of Daimler’s European Data Centre based in Stuttgart. Infosys has efficiently managed the operations since then. The additional responsibility of running the infrastructure operations of one of the key regional sales and manufacturing units has reinforced the trust that Daimler puts on Infosys.

Daimler AG honors outstanding performance of its direct and indirect supplier community annually with the Daimler Supplier Award. While working with suppliers, Daimler follows its cooperation model called the Daimler Supplier Network. This model is based on the principles of performance and partnership. Performance is measured in terms of quality, cost, delivery reliability and innovative strength. The partnership is based on trust and open communication.
