Management discussion and analysis: 


Industry structure and developments: 


Global IT services overview: 


Global IT services spending is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.8% to reach US$589.0 billion by 2010, from an estimated IT services spending of US$444.0 billion in 2005 according to International Data Corporation. Satyam believes that the growth of global IT services spending is driven by the following factors and trends:

  
Increased importance of IT to businesses. In today's increasingly competitive business environment, companies have become dependent on information technology not only to conduct day-to-day operations, but also as a strategic tool to enable them to re-engineer business processes, restructure organizations and react quickly to competitive, regulatory and technological changes. As information systems continually become more complex with the use of multiple applications and rapidly changing technologies, companies are increasingly turning to external IT service providers to develop and implement new technologies and integrate them with existing applications in which they may have already made considerable investments. 


Impact of the Internet and other new technologies on business. Businesses are increasingly using the Internet to interact with new and existing customers and create new revenue opportunities. Businesses conducted electronically over the Internet extend beyond Internet-based applications to include packaged software tools, such as customer and supply chain management software, that need to be integrated with a company's enterprise systems. These initiatives are often large and difficult to manage in-house and need to keep pace with constantly evolving business processes and technological innovations leading to demand for IT services companies.

 
Managing and upgrading existing systems. Managing and upgrading existing systems has become critical given the importance of IT and related systems to new business initiatives. Internal IT departments often do not have the appropriate resources or breadth of skills necessary to manage or upgrade existing systems. As a result, companies are increasingly looking to external service providers to design, integrate, implement and maintain their applications based on new technologies.

 
Increasing trend towards offshore outsourcing. The increasing complexities and costs of IT services, together with an increasing need for highly skilled technology professionals and tightening IT budgets for companies, are driving demand for professional IT services companies who are able to provide a cost effective, high quality, comprehensive range of services. The offshore delivery model is enabling companies to increasingly outsource complex assignments and generate not only cost savings in IT services but also greater efficiencies in their business processes. In addition, companies are increasingly using the 'utility computing' or 'pay for what you use', model for infrastructure, data-warehousing and IT system usage, which is further fueling growth in infrastructure, network outsourcing and network management services.

 

Indian IT services industry overview: 


As organizations realize the cost effectiveness of offshoring their outsourced services, they are increasingly making offshoring a part of their business strategy. India is considered to be the most favored destination for offshore IT service delivery. The NASSCOM-McKinsey Report of 2002 estimates that export revenue generated from the software and service industry in India was approximately US$17.7 billion in 2005 and is expected to reach US$60.0 billion by 2010 representing a compound annual growth rate of 27.7%. The key factors that are expected to contribute to this growth are:

  
High quality delivery record. Indian companies have developed high quality delivery processes. As of December 2006, over 440 Indian companies had acquired quality certifications with 90 companies certified at SEI-CMM Level 5 which is the highest in the world. Indian companies follow the Information Technology Act 2000 legislation that outlines the broad policy framework for ensuring the safety of information in India.

 

Large supply of English-speaking IT professionals. We believe that India ranks second only to the United States as the country with the largest population of English-speaking IT professionals. According to the NASSCOM strategic review 2007, educational institutes in India will produce approximately 500,000 technically trained graduates (Engineering degree/Diploma/MCA) will pass out by the end of 2007. Approximately 2.3 million graduates in arts, commerce and general science streams and 300,000 post graduates and doctoral candidates are expected in 2007. Given the shortage of technical labor in the United States and other developed economies, the availability of technically skilled personnel is proving to be a competitive advantage for Indian IT service companies.

 

Significant cost advantage. Satyam believes that the cost of employing IT professionals in India is significantly lower than in developed countries such as the United States. The use of high quality, low cost resources provides a significant opportunity for companies to realize cost savings by off shoring IT services to India.

 

Trends: 


The Indian IT services industry has been witnessing changes in customer demands and Satyam believes that service providers who are best able to adapt to these changes will succeed in the long run. Some key emerging industry trends are described below: 


Enhanced expectations. Increasingly, companies are expecting more value from their IT service providers than just the traditional cost advantages derived by offshoring the delivery of IT services. Companies increasingly prefer service providers that can provide strategic advice related to designing and increasing efficiencies of business processes and also assist in implementing their recommendations. Also, service providers with strong industry expertise are favored over those who can only provide strong technical skills.

 

Large, multi-year, end-to-end contracts. Companies are increasingly looking for IT service providers that can provide end-to-end solutions over a long period of time. In addition, companies, which have a presence across various geographies, need IT support on a global scale and often seek a single service provider that can offer a comprehensive range of services on a long-term basis across the world, and understand and integrate a wide spectrum of emerging technologies with existing systems.

 
Relationships with customers' key senior management. As outsourcing contracts increasingly gain strategic importance to businesses, customers' senior management teams have become more involved in outsourcing contract negotiation and monitoring. As a result, IT service providers need to ensure that their senior account managers develop strong and lasting working relationships with customers' senior management.

 

Performance measurement. Companies are increasingly demanding transparency in performance measurement. IT service providers with their own well developed benchmarks, frameworks and models to measure performance or demonstrate potential benefits are likely to have significant advantage over their competitors who offer more generic IT services.

 
Business Process Outsourcing: 


Outsourcing to India has provided companies with significant benefits over the arbitrage in labor costs - through business process enhancements and improvements. Indian vendors are expanding their service offerings, enabling customers to deepen their offshore engagements; the shift from low-end business processes to higher-value, a knowledge-based process is having a positive impact on the overall industry growth. In spite of the rising elements of cost, Indian offshore operations provide cost savings of 40-50 per cent; in spite of wage inflation averaging 10-15 per cent annually, companies are able to leverage declines in telecom and other overhead costs, productivity gains and economies of scale to sustain the cost arbitrage. India has already registered its mark on the globe in ITES-BPO sector. There was steady growth across the key service categories of finance and accounting, customer interaction and human resource administration. These three segments accounted for an estimated 89 per cent of the industry revenues. According to a recent study by Forrester, IT spending and staff hiring by businesses and government agencies in India is growing rapidly, at higher rates compared to their North American, European, and Asia Pacific counterparts.

 

Outlook: 
 
The outlook for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 is as follows:

 
For fiscal 2008, income from services is expected to be between Rs.77930.000 millions and Rs. 79160.000 millions, implying a growth rate of 20.0% to 22.0% over fiscal 2007 income of Rs.64850.000 millions.
