Outsourcing suppliers give cause to believe the economy is getting back on track

Could it be that the world economy has turned a corner?

India's biggest IT service provider followed its rival Infosys in reporting strong growth for its latest financial quarter.

Infosys recently announced a 29.6% increase in revenues for its latest financial quarter compared to the same period last year. TCS has now announced a 30% increase. See details here.
