Infosys Technologies Ltd [Get Quote] announced on Friday it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., in the leaders quadrant in the 'Magic Quadrant for North American offshore applications services 2007' report.

"According to the research firm's report, leaders are vendors who are performing well, have a clear vision of market direction, and are actively building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market," an Infosys release said.

In the last two years, Infosys' key strategic priorities have included strengthening its global delivery model across Asia, Western and Central Europe and North America, and advancing its methodologies and processes for application services delivery, it said.

"Global delivery model-based application services form the core of our client relationships and our value proposition to help companies win in the flat world," said S Gopalakrishnan, CEO and MD, Infosys Technologies, in the statement.

"We think being placed in the leaders quadrant by Gartner is recognition of our capability to compete for and win in large-scale applications outsourcing, as well as our investment in new offerings and geographic growth," he added.
