During the first half of the decade, Indian IT exports grew at a 5-year CAGR of 35% from $4bn in FY2000 to $18bn in FY2005. During the second half of the decade, Indian IT exports grew at a 5-year CAGR of 23% from $18bn in FY2005 to $50bn in FY2010.

 

The industry can be segmented as per the (a) Verticals (b) Service Lines (c) Geographies.

 

BFSI, Hi-tech/Telecom, and Manufacturing were the dominant verticals contributing to over 3/4th of the exports over past several years. BFSI contributed to 40% of Indian IT Exports during FY10. Hitech/Telecom and Manufacturing contributed 20% and 16% respectively. Emerging verticals (Media and Entertainment, Retail, Healthcare, Utilities, and Transportation) have contributed to nearly 1/4th of the exports.

 

IT Services contributed to 55% of the IT Exports during FY10. BPO and Engineering Services contributed 25% and 20% respectively. This share distribution has remained somewhat constant over past several years.

 

Within IT Services, the share of Custom Application Development Services came down from 49% to 37% during the 3-year period, whereas the share of Remote Infrastructure Management and System Integration services increased from 11% to 20%. Application Management Services grew much faster than Application development services at a 3-year CAGR of 24%. Other IT Services (such as IT Consulting, Support and Training, Software Testing, SOA/Web Services etc.) grew at a 3-year CAGR of 17%.

 

US and UK were the dominant regions receiving over 3/4th of the Indian IT exports over past several years. US received 61% of Indian IT Exports during FY10, whereas UK received 18%. Continental Europe and APAC received 12% and 7% of exports respectively. The Geo distribution has not changed much over past several years.

 

HCL has grown faster than Indian IT Industry during the last decade. While HCL growth was lagging behind Indian IT Industry growth during the first half of the decade, HCL came back strongly during the second half of the decade. During the first half of the decade, HCL revenues grew at a 5-year CAGR of 30% from $207mn in FY2000 to $764mn in FY2005. During the second half of the decade, HCL revenues grew at a 5-year CAGR of 29% from $764mn in FY2005 to $2705mn in FY2010.  Overall, HCL revenues grew at a 10-year CAGR of 29.3%.

 

Drivers for Future Growth

 

While Indian IT exports grew at a 10-yr CAGR of 29% during the last decade, Global IT services spending grew at a 10-yr CAGR in lower single digits during the same period. This is a story of ‘market-share gains’ or ‘replacement revenue’. At the start of the last decade, in the year 2000, Top Indian 5 IT players Market Share in the Global IT Services spending was just about 0.1%. By the end of the decade, in the year 2009, their Market share increased to about 2.4%. There is still big headroom for growth for Indian IT Industry.

 

According to a customer satisfaction (CSAT) survey of HCL customers in 2009, cost reduction was considered to be the most important business priority across all the verticals and geographies. With continued cost pressures across the businesses and India’s still attractive 30-40% cost advantage, the next level of replacement revenue is about to begin. Growth opportunities for HCL can come from existing customers as well as new customers. From existing customers, opportunities are in cross-sell, up-sell, and new propositions such as business-aligned IT, cloud computing, platform-based BPO, and green IT. HCL’s ability to grow customer relationships particular into   large accounts – will be critical for the company’s growth in the coming years.

 

Growth opportunities from new customers can come from Vendor consolidation, New Verticals, New Geographies, and New Propositions. Vendor consolidation means reducing the number of vendor engagements to an efficient “core” capable of providing all needed services, software, systems, and partnering relationships. It offers the following business benefits to customers: reduced total cost of ownership (TCO), streamlined vendor relationship management, reduced number of support contracts to negotiate and manage, increased procurement process leverage, and reduced training, certification, and administration expenses. The trend of vendor consolidation will contribute significantly to greater offshore content in global IT services.

 

For growth opportunities from new customers, the NASSCOMMcKinsey 2020 report provides useful inputs. Published in April 2009, the NASSCOM-McKinsey 2020 report is the third report published by NASSCOM and McKinsey on the future of IT Industry. The report discusses seven Global Megatrends that will drive the increase in global sourcing and domestic outsourcing addressable market opportunity from $500 bn to $1.5 trn by 2020.

 

The NASSCOM-Mckinsey 2020 report examines the total addressable global sourcing market along four dimensions:

 

1. Core Market Opportunities: The total addressable market for core markets (large enterprises in developed countries in verticals such as telecom, banking, insurance, and manufacturing) was $500 bn in 2008. It is expected to reach $700 bn by 2020.

 

2. New Verticals: Over the next 12 years, several emerging verticals will become the next major segments after the core verticals. The four emerging verticals are: Public sector and defense, Healthcare Providers, Utilities, and Media. The addressable market for these emerging verticals is expected to reach $190 bn by 2020.

 

3. New Geographies: BRIC countries will offer a domestic outsourcing market of $380 bn by 2020.

 

4. New Customer segments: The global sourcing addressable market for SMBs in core geographies is likely to be around $230 bn in 2020.

 

While core markets will present an additional $200 bn addressable market by 2020, new verticals and new geographies will present a $580 bn addressable market by 2020—three times the additional opportunity presented by core verticals.

When looking at the growth opportunities, another dimension to explore is that of new propositions such as cloud computing, virtualization, platform-based BPO, green IT, digital technology and marketing, industry-specific smart Solutions, and advanced business analytics. Of all these propositions, Cloud computing is being touted as the most disruptive proposition that has the potential to change the way IT services are delivered. The key reason for that are the trends of the Industralization and Consumerization of IT.

 

Industralization of IT refers to the standardization of IT services and covers predesigned and preconfigured solutions that will be highly automated, effi cient, repeatable, scalable, reliable, and available. Consumerization of IT refers the changing buyer behavior in IT. Buying centers will shift from IT to business. Buyers will buy services instead of skills – Infrastructure as a Service, Application as a Service, Platform as a Service, or even Business as a service. The key driver for the Consumerization of IT is the movement towards decreased IT   hardware/software assets. Virtualization is making underlying hardware (and its ownership) non-strategic. Buyers are looking for scalability, pay-as-you-go, and freedom from infrastructure build-out and less capex sensitivity.

 

Industry Outlook

 

The first decade of the 21st Century was somewhat unique. It saw everything from highly volatile Oil prices, increasingly rising commodity prices, bulls and bears of stock markets, focus/defocus on climate change, and debates/concerns about scarcity of natural resources. It started with a recession and it is ending with a recession. But, there is big difference between the two. While the previous recession was led by the slowdown in business spending, the current recession is led by the slowdown in both business and consumer spending. Consumer confidence has completely shaken due to increasing job losses, salary freeze/cuts, and memory of loan foreclosures. Consumers are taking precautionary approach to spending and reducing their debt levels. They are spending on what they need rather than what they want. Banks have started adopting tighter credit and stricter lending standards towards consumers, as they side-step Risk with ‘Be Prepared’ approach instead of a ‘Just do it’ approach. All this is leading to the phenomenon of ‘New Normal’.

 

The ‘New Normal’ means they will be living in a world of moderated business growth during next few years. The businesses across the world won’t be growing at the same pace as they were growing from 2005-08. The customers will be demanding more for less. They will look for business benefits than IT benefits.  They would want vendors to put skin in the game and co-invest in the transformation initiatives.

 

Indian IT Industry will also witness lesser growth rates in the next decade than in the last decade. As per NASSCOM Mckinsey 2020 report, the total global sourcing industry will grow at a CAGR of 15% from 2008 until 2020. It is likely to expand more than fi ve-fold by 2020 from $80 bn in revenues in 2008 to $450 bn by 2020 (based on a penetration of 40% of the total addressable market of $ 1.1 trn). The Indian global sourcing industry will grow at a slightly lower CAGR of 13% and is likely to expand four-fold by 2020 from $40 bn in revenues in 2008 to $175 bn by 2020. This will imply a decline in India’s share of the global market from 51% to around 40% by 2020. The companies with disruptive business models will be able to buck this trend and grow at much faster growth rates.

 

Company Overview

About HCL Technologies Limited

 

HCL is a global technology enterprise and a name to reckon with in the industry. The passion of its founder and the entrepreneurial zeal of its employees have made its software services arm, HCL Technologies, a leading provider of business transformation, enterprise and custom applications, infrastructure management, business process outsourcing, and engineering services. HCL delivers solutions across a wide range of verticals like financial services, manufacturing, consumer services, public services and healthcare. Its global delivery model is spread across 26 countries around the globe and its empowered ‘transformers’ are busy working with over 500 forward looking customers, seeking to shift paradigms and transform the way business is being done.

 

Change has been the winning formula at HCL. The ability to transform businesses across the world comes from the organization’s own readiness to transform itself in its relentless drive to better serve its customers. In 2005, HCL commenced on its transformation journey based on the foundation of ‘Employees First’. Today, this unique management philosophy has been recognized and praised worldwide for empowering employees to become the drivers of growth. And this in turn has led to extraordinary growth in the past 5 years, where HCL experienced:

 

• Tripling of revenue and operating profit

• Twenty percent year-on-year growth in market share

• Seventy percent of deals being won against the Big Four international IT companies

• Fivefold increase in the number of large ($20mn+) customers

• Nearly fifty percent decline in employee attrition rates

• Seventy percent increase in employee satisfaction scores

 

The phenomenal performance has won its share of approval. Today, HCL is proud to be on Business Week’s 5 most influential companies to ‘watch’ list; considered ‘disruptive’ by IDC; ranked in the top 10 outsourcers with the ‘highest accountability, transparency and trust’ by Wall Street Journal; ranked #1 employer of 2009 in a study done by Hewitt; #1 among the top 50 best managed global outsourcing vendors of 2009 by Brown and Wilson’s Black Book of Outsourcing; listed as one of the 44 Most Democratic Workplaces in the world by WorldBlu and featured as a case study in Harvard, London Business School, Darden Business Publishing, and more recently, David G Thomson’s book, “Blueprint to a billion – 7 essentials to exponential growth”.

 

Indeed, HCL is more comfortable in forging its own trail rather than following the expected – thereby bringing about unexpected and path breaking results.

 

Service Offerings

 

HCL believes in the good practice of regularly re-structuring and re-energizing its diversifi ed portfolio of service offerings. By re-evaluating and realigning this portfolio from time to time, HCL is able to develop a robust and resilient business model. No single service line contributes more than 32% to the total revenue even while maintaining a leading edge in key verticals where HCL chooses to focus.

 

Custom Application Services

 

The Custom Application Services division at HCL leverages a domain-driven approach to design, and implements scalable, reliable, robust, secure, and easily maintainable applications that provide their customers with business differentiation through IT. Service offerings include application development, management, support, re-engineering, modernization, migration, and independent verifi cation and validation. With more than 10,000 domain and technology experts supporting more than 100 clients across geographies, this group contributes over

29% of HCL’s revenues, and services at least two of the top five players in various industries like retail, banking, insurance, media and publishing, gaming and life sciences.

 

A customer centric focus keeps HCL continuously investing and inventing robust methodologies, tools, and processes. HCL’s BAIT is a new framework that allows the effi cient alignment of IT with business; it provides a unifi ed view of all business processes with the underlying IT landscape and helps reduce cycle time while providing the lowest IT cost on a business transaction.

With their dedicated CoEs, skills are continuously being upgraded, and customers are enjoying faster time to market as they leverage their extensive research and development on reusable components and frameworks.   Technology partnerships nurtured with leading global solutions providers like Microsoft, TIBCO, WebMethods, Oracle, Digite, and IBM, SUN Microsystems and others, enable HCL provide best-inclass services and solutions to customers. Additionally, all their software development centers are certifi ed with ISO 9001:2000, CMM Level 5 and British Security Standard—BS7799, in keeping with their customers’ information security requirements. Their customized software and application services have been rated as much higher than the industry average on the parameters of productivity, effi ciency, and lower defects, and they provide 100% transparency to their clients through CXO dashboards with online SLA tracking and status reporting.

 

Engineering and RandD Services [ERS]

 

HCL is one of the few Indian companies with signifi cant focus on engineering services. Contributing to over 19% of the company’s revenues, this group brings a balance to the service portfolio unlike some of their peers. The ERS group offers end-toend engineering services and solutions in hardware, embedded, mechanical and software product engineering to industry leaders across Aerospace and Defence, Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Industrial Manufacturing, Medical Devices, Networking and Telecom, Offi ce Automation, Semiconductor, Servers and Storage and Software Products.

 

HCL well understands the importance of Research and Development (RandD) in augmenting its customers businesses and is committed to providing these world-class services to them. Over a decade of operating in complex multi-vendor environments and customer value chains, they have the ability to seamlessly integrate into their existing RandD ecosystem, working with other innovation partners, captive centers, universities, industry bodies and manufacturing partners. The group has recently started a business unit with a dedicated team to focus on Defense, Space and Security (DSS). It has also developed the Business Aligned Test Framework to specifically address the industry need for a standard and cost-effective approach to testing and verification activities in hardware, software, mechanical, system safety assessment, test engineering, prototyping, design assurance and new product realization. The group has rich experience in developing safety-critical embedded products involving cutting edge hardware, complex middleware, rich applications and interactive GUI across multiple processor families and real time operating systems. This group is Boeing’s 787 software partner developing subsystems for Boeing’s Tier-1 and Tier-2 partners.

 

In addition, HCL reengineered the flight test system that is being used for certification and regulatory approvals for Boeing 787. For the Swiss division of a global medical devices major, HCL was responsible for the complete development of a Class III implantable drug delivery medical device that has recently been launched in the market. HCL’s ERS was selected by an Italian Aerospace major to reengineer the complete aero structure of a transporter aircraft. With more than 35,000 parts, the complete reengineering program reduced operational cost of upto 15% across various systems. HCL runs the largest third party engineering centre for a global networking OEM company. For a European Tier-1 automotive company, HCL helped develop a complete infotainment solution for a leading French car series. HCL foresees a shift towards clients preferring outsourcing companies to share their long-term vision, risks, and rewards in developing product-based ecosystems that impact client experience.

 

Towards this, HCL is investing heavily in developing its own IPs and solutions to help customers’ impact the   overall product ecosystem faster and better. Solutions include a unified communication platform, a remote diagnostic reusable module, telematics and test platforms in multiple verticals. Some of their key IPs today are: Agora (HCL SaaS platform), Nimbo (private cloud enablement solution), Cirrus (Microsoft Azure enablement solution), Athena (sentiment analytics solution), Retail Track and Trace solution, UECPX (unifi ed communications platform), ASPIRE (product portfolio management system), Telematics platform, and H-PAC (Aerospace verifi cation platform), amongst others.

 

This is what it takes to make an RandD ecosystem truly business aligned. And this, coupled with HCL’s 360 degree partnership approach, unique propositions like Concept to Manufacture, Engineering Portfolio Optimization (EPO) and First 2.0, full lifecycle expertise, IPs and frameworks and a strong vertical solutioning capability have positioned them as the Business Aligned RandD partner to several global technology giants.

PRESS RELEASE

 

HCL Technologies Named 40th on Software Magazine’s

28th Annual Software 500

 

Software Magazine Ranks HCL Technologies as one of the World’s Largest

Software Companies

 

SUNNYVALE, CA and NOIDA, India, October 1, 2010 – HCL Technologies today announced its inclusion on Software Magazine’s Software 500 ranking of the world’s largest software and service providers, now in its 28th year.

 

HCL Technologies was ranked 40th, up four spots from last year’s ranking, with software revenues up 6.2% YoY.

 

“The 2010 Software 500 results show that revenue growth in the software and services industry was healthy, with total Software 500 revenue of $491.7B billion worldwide for 2009, representing virtually flat growth from the previous year,” says John P. Desmond, editor of Software Magazine and Softwaremag.com.

 

“The Software 500 helps CIOs, senior IT managers and IT staff research and create the short list of business partners,” Desmond says. “It is a quick reference of vendor viability. And the online version, to be posted soon, is searchable by category, making it what we call the online catalog to enterprise software.”

 

The Software 500 is a revenue-based ranking of the world’s largest software and services suppliers targeting medium to large enterprises, their IT professionals, software developers and business managers involved in software and services purchasing.

 

Some 47% percent of the 2010 Software 500 companies are privately held.

 

The ranking is based on total worldwide software and services revenue for 2009. This includes revenues from software licenses, maintenance and support, training and software-related services and consulting. Suppliers are not ranked on their total corporate revenue, since many have other lines of business, such as hardware. The financial information was gathered by a survey prepared by King Content Co.
