Quarterly profits at Indian outsourcing giant Infosys have jumped by 33% after the company won new contracts from firms seeking to cut their costs.

Infosys added that it had not seen any fall-out from the accounting fraud at Satyam, which has cast a shadow on India's booming outsourcing industry.

At least some good news to cheer up all the benched UK IT Contractors out there.

I'm very pleased for them

Haven't they been kicked out of more projects than Accidenture? The NHS gravy train springs to mind.

Don't know if they're religious, no outward signs anyway. Yes they're permies but without the brit permie continous whine and envy, so much easier to tolerate.

Actually they probably get the worse deal as they're well mannered and respectful.
