Now, that the programme will be effected for all of the company's 9,500 projects as Infosys is looking at monetising the programme.
"They are creating an incentive mechanism so that every project manager can mine accounts, create a Zero Distance template and turn that into a project. It's a way to boost mining accounts because now, it is not just a sales team selling but every project manager can up-sell and cross-sell," an executive told ET.

Infosys said its top 10 customers spend almost $1billion on IT, it gets only $250 million of revenue from them.
Through ‘zero distance’, Infosys will earn revenue even from the employees who are sitting on the bench, through its Zero Bench initiative.
“When they were building the proof of concept, it was not being billed. But if the ideas turn into projects, then you have turned your bench into a productive resource that will actually boost margins," the person told ET.
An executive at Infosys, requesting anonymity, told ET there were monetisation plans in the works for Zero Distance, but incentives for project managers had not yet been firmed up.
