Infosys to acquire US firm

Infosys Technologies will acquire the US-based insurance business process solutions provider McCamish Systems for $38 million (Rs 1.77 billion/Rs 177 crore) in an all-cash deal, the IT bellwether said on Thursday.

In a regulatory filing, the global software major said it would pay an additional $20 million (Rs.930 million/Rs.93 crore) to the back office firm if it achieved certain financial targets in the future.

"The acquisition is expected to enhance our capability to deliver end-to-end business solutions for the insurance and financial service industries," the company said.

The $38-million McCamish provides solutions to insurance and financial services.

"The deal will enable us to bring together a convergence of operations and technology and reinforce our leadership in providing business platform services," said Amitab Chaudhry, chief executive of Infosys business process outsourcing (BPO) subsidiary, in a statement later.

As part of Infosys' BPO subsidiary, McCamish will service large portfolios of transactions for clients and expand into global markets.
