IT bellwether Infosys Technologies, along with Internet major Google and software giant Apple, has been named among the world's 100 fastest growing companies by American publication Fortune.
The league of 100 is topped by Canada-based Research In Motion, the maker of Blackberry phones.
The list also features Cognizant Technology Solutions, headed by India-origin Chief Executive Francisco D'Souza. Infosys is placed at the 100th place while Cognizant is ranked 90.Infosys, a world leader in consulting and information technology services, partners with Global 2000 companies to provide business consulting, systems integration, application development, and product engineering services.

For the last few years, various groups within Infosys have relied extensively on the pivot tables in Microsoftо Office Excelо spreadsheet software to analyze data and produce reports. “Power users” with in-depth knowledge of Excel generated these reports. However, company growth resulted in a steep increase in the number of power users and the quantity and types of static, standalone reports. With the organization’s need for more insightful information, users found it cumbersome to create rich ad-hoc reports using existing techniques. The potential risks included longer lead times for decision making. The Information Systems (IS) group needed to provide adequate governance mechanisms and enhanced security while still meeting the analytical needs of all Infosys business units. Infosys needed an enterprise Business Intelligence solution.
