Operations

Their Company has been leveraging its focus on '3C' strategy of Converged Communications, Contact Centers and Customer Services. The Company has long experience in Voice Solutions for Enterprises and has built relationships with its Enterprise customers with this focus. The end-to-end Solutions and large installed customer base help the Company differentiate its offerings in the highly competitive market.

The year under review was the first full year of operation as 'Avaya Global Connect Limited'. The Company has continued to be the leader in each of the market segments. The Company embarked upon establishing the new Brand as 'Avaya Global Connect Limited' and has successfully created its positioning as "India's No. 1 Enterprise Communications Company". The Company continues to focus on developing more relationship with customers through new initiatives targeted at ensuring mindshare with the Top CXOs (CEOs/ GIOs / COOs / CTOs / CFOs) through programs like 'Futurescapes'.

 

Their Company under the aegis of Customer Responsiveness initiated "Avaya Global Connect Most Customer Responsive Company Awards" — the first ever such awards for Customer Responsiveness in the Industry. These awards were launched in partnership with The Economic Times, Ernst and Young and A. C. Nielson. The special CEO Round Table discussions were held over 90 days in 7 cities involving 54 CEOs in 7 invigorating sessions. The Round Table provides CEO focus to share insights of Customer Responsiveness. Awards were given away in December 2005 in Mumbai in the presence of Captains of Indian Corporate World.

The entire technical customer facing 13 RIMBUfil [IIIKBI] employees went through Avaya Certification to ensure that the Company provides quality support to its customers throughout the life cycle of the Solutions provided to them. The number of certifications received in Asia Pacific Region amongst all Avaya Companies is the highest with over 750 certificates.

 

In its pursuit for a deeper penetration of the large customer base, their Company also initiated focus on Industry Solutions for the Key Verticals. Another development to drive ownership at functional level within the organization was creation of 'Operations Team' to help create effective and efficient operations.

 

During the year under review, Global Connect Australia Pty Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary of their Company, with its team of highly qualified professionals, established itself as a dependable Business Partner for Avaya in Australia.

 

As reported in the last Annual Report of the Company (2004-05), the Company had applied to the Central Government under Section 212 (8) of the Companies Act, 1956, for seeking exemption for attaching to its balance sheet as at March 31,2005, the documents pertaining to the Subsidiary Company as required under the provisions of Section 212 of the Act. The Company had got the approval of the Central Government (Ministry of Company Affairs) for the same subject to the condition that the annual report for the period 30.09.2005 of the wholly owned subsidiary namely Global Connect Australia Pty Limited shall be annexed by the holding company with its own accounts for the period ended 31.03.2006 and shall be circulated to the shareholders. Accordingly, the Company has annexed the annual report of Global Connect Australia Pty Limited for the period ended 30.09.2005 with its current annual report.

 

Business Outlook

India continues to be amongst the leading countries in Telecommunication growth with CAGR for fixed and mobile telephony services climbing up towards 30%-35% level. The tele-density continues to grow rapidly with subscriber base reaching 140 million in March 2006. The growth in Telecom services enables more expansion of current enterprises as well as setting up of new ones, thereby offering growth potential for Converged Communications.

 

The Contact Center Industry continues to grow steadily with enhanced gamut of services supported by the Contact Centers. The Industry is also looking at new verticals to expand their business to grow and this continues to offer opportunities for their Company.

 

The Enterprises are eager to adopt new technologies and applications with Converged Communications. Some examples are Videoconferencing, Voice Mail; IP based Closed User Group (IPCUG) and so on.

 

The Government of India increased the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) limit in Telecommunication Services companies from 49% to 74%. This increase in FDI limit would attract more Global MNCs to invest in India and offer enhanced services to Indian subscribers. The private operators will build their focus on high net-worth enterprises with the new services.

 

The Contact Center Industry in India faces competition from other destination countries like Hungary, Malaysia and Philippines, which may dampen the growth of this Industry. The limitation in open connectivity for IP Telephony will reduce the impact of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) deployment in India.

 

New Products

Their Company continues to enhance the product portfolio to address the enterprise customers' need for converged communication services covering Voice, Data and Video Networks and also Contact Center Solutions.

 

During the year under review, their Company launched the following new products and solutions:

 

·         IP Office from Avaya Inc., USA.

·         Witness Solution for Performance Optimization.

·         Intelligent Communications for Mobility Solutions.

 

The company has been accredited with ISO 9001 Certification.
