Infosys Ltd will acquire Simplus, one of the fastest-growing Salesforce platinum partners in the US and Australia for up to $250
Million. The acquisition is expected to close during the fourth quarter of fiscal
2020.
Simplus is a leading provider and advisor in
cloud consulting, implementation, data integration, change management and
training services for Salesforce quote-to-cash applications with more than
4,500 projects.
This acquisition, along with that of Fluido announced
in September 2018, is expected to strengthen Infosys’ position as an end-to-end
Salesforce enterprise cloud solutions and services provider, providing clients
with the necessary capabilities for cloud-first digital transformation.
The acquisition would also help Infosys expand
its geographic presence as Simplus has offices across North America, Sydney,
Melbourne, London, and a large delivery centre in Manila. The Infosys the acquisition comes at a time when last week Cognizant too made two strategic acquisitions
by acquiring the French operations of Paris-based EI-Technologies and
Atlanta-based Code Zero Consulting.
