Infosys iEngage(TM) Launches Social Commerce and Employee Engagement Platforms

Smartphone-Enabled Platforms to Drive the Next Generation of Digital Engagement

LONDON and NEW YORK, June 16, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Infosys Technologies Ltd (NASDAQ: INFY) today announced a new Social
Commerce and an enhanced Employee Engagement platform as part of Infosys
iEngage(TM). All platforms of Infosys iEngage are now available on
Smartphone-enabled devices.

    Consumers rely on social networks to guide purchase decisions. Infosys
iEngage Social Commerce Platform uses everyday social interactions on the
World Wide Web to personalize and enhance users' online shopping experience.
Organizations can monetize these social interactions and increase customer
wallet-share. The platform brings the power of social shopping through
features such as: co-shopping (enabling buyers to shop online with other
buyers replicating a real-world shopping experience), group-gifting (enable
shoppers to invite friends, discuss gifts and make a purchase), product
combination (empower shoppers to create product bundles and share with
friends increasing average order value) and social rewards (enables sellers
to recognize buyers who help drive sales and reward them appropriately).

    The enhanced Infosys iEngage Employee Engagement Platform is built on
top of industry-leading Jive Social Business Software
[http://www.jivesoftware.com/products/engage-employees ]. The platform
includes modules such as Policy Manager, Ideation Manager and Knowledge
Manager to help foster innovation and increase workforce productivity. The
Employee Engagement platform is powered by the iEngage Context Engine which
creates the social map of an employee across six different dimensions. It
provides content, community, and expert recommendations to employees using a
robust rules engine.

    The new mobility module renders all the five Infosys iEngage platforms
on smart handheld devices driving increased consumer and employee connect.
It also enables users to interact both in a browser-based interface and
through smartphone applications.

    According to Samson David, Vice President and Global Head - Business
Platforms, Infosys Technologies, "Building Tomorrow's Enterprise requires
organizations to engage with consumers and monetize digital demand. Multiple
global companies across industries are successfully leveraging Infosys
iEngage for their digital engagement journey. With our Social Commerce and
Employee Engagement platforms, companies can successfully drive their sales,
marketing, and employee engagement strategies and deliver measurable
business value".

    Infosys iEngage can be deployed through Infosys cloud or client cloud in
the SaaS model. Organizations that are in early stages of social media
adoption can experience the full capability of Infosys iEngage in a cloud
setup for 90 days with no lock-in.*
