MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Industry structure, developments and Outlook Overview

 

Tech Mahindra Limited is a leading provider of IT, networking technology solutions and BPO services to the global telecommunications industry. In fiscal 2009, it was ranked by NASSCOM as the fifth largest Indian IT services company in terms of export revenue and as number one company in telecom software services in India by Voice and Data (V and D100, June 2009). It was formed in 1986 as a joint venture between Mahindra and Mahindra Limited, one of India's largest industrial conglomerates, and British Telecommunications pic, one of the world's leading Telecommunications Company.

 

Current environment and global telecom market

 

The competitive landscape in the global telecommunications services market has been undergoing continuous changes. Governments have continued to implement measures aimed at liberalizing the telecommunications services market and increasing competition. For instance, most European telecommunications regulators have enacted measures to allow carrier services, which permit new entrants to use the networks of incumbent TSPs to offer their own fixed-line services to customers.

 

In the area of mobile services, mobile number portability, which allows mobile customers to switch service providers without changing their mobile numbers, has also been enacted in most developed telecommunications markets.

 

These measures have largely been successful in promoting competition and have resulted in an increase in customers. The market share of incumbent TSPs has decreased and the number of TSPs in the market has increased. Mobile TSPs in advanced telecommunications markets are currently in the process of upgrading their networks to data-intensive 3G wireless networks, which will facilitate the provision of complex data services, such as online video, wireless instant messaging and wireless conferencing services. Fixed line TSPs are in various stages of upgrading their networks from traditional switched networks to IP based networks. This migration to next generation networks over the past few years have helped in an evolution from pure voice towards converged networks and the quadruple services of voice, video, data and content.

 

In the emerging markets, the ongoing expansion of subscriber base is attracting new service providers who are setting up operations in markets across Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa.

 

Software and IT Services spend in the Communications Industry

 

Over the past few years, software and IT services providers have expanded and upgraded their service offerings in order to cater to the changing needs of TSPs. The migration to next generation networks has created increased demand for software and IT services. IT services and software providers handle business functions of converged networks and provide solutions across multiple network elements, in both legacy and next generation networks.

 

In addition to the migration to next generation networks and the rationalization of legacy networks, competition in the telecommunications services industry could be a key driver of demand for IT services and software. As competition has increased fixed-line revenues have declined, mainly as a result of decreasing long distance prices and competition from mobile TSPs. In the mobile TSP sector, competition driven by the increase in the number of mobile TSPs and emergence of MVNOs, among other factors, has also placed pressure on revenues, although to a much lesser extent than fixed-line revenues. Software and IT services providers are attempting to take advantage of increased competition in the TSP industry. Pressure on margins has caused TSPs to focus on reducing costs. IT is becoming an important element in determining cost efficiency of TSPs.

 

In order to reduce costs, TSPs are increasingly using packaged software, systems integrators and outsourcing companies to help them achieve their goals.
