He spoke about Infosys’ facilitation to rapidly update and renew its offerings, making them a key e-commerce player in a booming online education industry.
Michael further mentioned on how Infosys assisted Follett re-platform 1500 sites in under a year, branding them by universities, enabling them with technology, and supporting infrastructure.
