BANGALORE: Intel Corp president Craig Barrett on Friday inaugurated a

research and development laboratory set up jointly with Infosys Technologies

Ltd. in Bangalore. The Infosys-Intel Lab is the first

e-business solutions lab of its kind and will focus on building practices on

Intel architecture platform for the enterprise customers.

Intel will provide the necessary hardware, software and technical information

to enable Infosys to develop the software applications built on Intel's

platforms, the statement said.

Dr Barrett also launched the Infosys LegaCom Service, which enables companies

to leverage their legacy assets as they migrate to open standards-based

distributed architecture like Intel platforms. LegaCom improves on Infosys'

re-engineering service by using Infosys' InFlux methodology and componentization

framework.

Nasdaq-listed Infosys already counts Intel as its client besides serving a

raft of Fortune 500 companies with its army of about 10,000 employees. The

launch of the center for Intel comes at a time when India's software sector is

struggling with a slowdown in orders from the United States, its main export

market.

Indian software companies are now trying to improve profit margins by

boosting the share of work done in India for overseas clients rather than at

customer sites abroad. This enables them to perform the work more cheaply and

attract more business.
