Why Companies Switch from Infosys to Cloudrix
Small Team, Big Impact
Infosys throws large teams at problems. Cloudrix solves them with focused senior engineers. Three experienced developers who know your codebase deeply outperform ten who are spread thin across projects.
No Offshore Overhead
Working with Infosys means daily standups at odd hours, async communication delays, and cultural translation. Cloudrix engineers work your hours, speak your language, and understand your business context.
Zero Lock-in
Infosys contracts often span multiple years with complex exit terms. Cloudrix offers month-to-month flexibility. If we're not delivering value, you can walk away. This keeps us accountable.
Modern Tech Stack Focus
Infosys has deep expertise in enterprise Java and legacy systems. Cloudrix focuses on modern stacks — cloud-native, AI/ML, React/Next.js, Kubernetes. If you're building modern products, you need modern expertise.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can Cloudrix compete with Infosys's prices?
We don't compete on per-person price — we compete on total project cost. Infosys's lower rates require more people, more management, and more ramp-up time. The total cost of 3 Cloudrix seniors is typically lower than 10 Infosys resources delivering the same output.
Can Cloudrix handle SAP or Oracle projects?
We focus on custom software engineering, cloud, and AI — not ERP implementations. For SAP or Oracle projects, Infosys is better suited. For building custom products, APIs, or cloud-native applications, Cloudrix delivers superior results.
What about Infosys's training programs and certifications?
Infosys has impressive training infrastructure. But training programs produce trained juniors, not experienced seniors. Every Cloudrix engineer has 5+ years of production experience — you can't train that, it comes from building real systems.
