Sydney, January 15 2015: Infosys (NYSE: INFY), a leader in consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation services had announced an extension of its support for tennis beyond the global technology services partnership with the ATP World Tour - the governing body of men's professional tennis circuits - announced in September 2015. Infosys today announced a partnership with Apia International Sydney 2016, an ATP 250 tournament and also one of the world's oldest tennis tournaments, to be held from January 10-16, 2016.

Infosys will provide statistics and insights for fans and players by leveraging the Infosys Information Platform (IIP), its open-source data analytics and visualization platform.

The initiatives within the larger partnership that Infosys has with the ATP World Tour include:

• Creation of an exclusive Infosys ATP Scores & Stats Center to revolutionize engagement with tennis fans by providing unprecedented insights and predictions about every tournament, every match and every point.
• Reimagining the ATP Player Zone, a next-generation player engagement platform and mobile app, to elevate the experience for players and enable them to register for tournaments, review travel information, connect with other players, and stay up-to-date on all ATP World Tour news
• Managing the infrastructure, applications, and data of ATP World Tour by leveraging the elasticity and computational power of the cloud-based model
