INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

THE MARKET OPPORTUNITY:
 
Year 2011 was volatile on account of weak US growth and recurrent news of the European debt crisis. However, the US economy is slowly moving towards growth trajectory and the US technology market is anticipated to  grow  at rates of 7.1% in 2012 and 7.4% in 2013. IT outsourcing is expected to  grow by  6.0%  in  2012,  and  5.9% in  2013  according  to  Forrester  Research (Forrester). On a global basis, of the total IT spend of USD 2,122  Billion in 2012 anticipated by Forrester, software tops the list at USD 529 Billion followed  by  computer equipment at USD 438 Billion and IT consulting and systems  integration services at USD 427 Billion. Though global technology spending reflects the impact of a mild European recession, it is expected that Europe will gradually recover and global technology market is anticipated to accelerate to 8% in 2013.
 
This acceleration is being further fueled by purchases made in new technologies.  In 2009, they identified and began to invest in four focus areas viz. Cloud Computing, Mobility, Business Intelligence and Analytics and Collaboration. Gartner Research identified these four areas as the top 4 priorities for CIOs in 2012. They are continuously tracking the technology trends and calibrating the technology focus areas with the market developments. They believe that core product development expertise is the key for the next-generation technology products as well as next-generation solution building for enterprise applications.
 
There is also a shift in the way enterprises take decisions regarding IT. They have been guide in terms of decision making as business groups  are playing  an active role in driving the strategy around cloud computing  and mobility. They are also increasingly using a solutions approach in go to market, thus enabling us to appeal to the business side of enterprises. Software  companies  are also greatly cutting down the time to  market  for their  products, and hence are working more with  third  party  Outsourced Software  Product  Development (OPD) companies to help attain  shorter development cycles. Software product companies are also actively engaged in rationalizing their product portfolio, thus yielding opportunities for OPD companies to partner and participate in this process.
 
With key technology trends in the market aligning with Persistent`s focus areas and the investments that Persistent Systems is making in its people and acquisitions, they are ready to take advantage of the growth opportunities presented by the market. In addition, they are enhancing their business model to grow and leverage IP and is diversifying the "go-to-market" approach through partnerships and solutions. These strategies should help the Company grow more profitably.

 

 

ANALYSIS OF THEIR FISCAL 2012 RESULTS:
 
Financial Year 2011-12 has been a year of increased challenges and uncertainty for the IT/ ITeS industry segment. The OPD market has not been immune to the depressed environment. They saw a slowdown in the demand as well as some ramp-downs in existing customers starting Q2 of Fiscal 2012. Nevertheless, they achieved robust year-on-year Rupee denominated growth  of 28.9%  through their strategy to stand by their customers in  the  challenging times, investing into the future during the immediate impact  of  economic downturn and as it wore off, and through their distinguishing models such  as IP-led  business, Sell-with  business with chosen  partner  platforms  and leveraging   the four technology  areas  viz.  Business Intelligence and Analytics, Cloud Computing, Collaboration and Mobility.
 
 
GROWTH THROUGH EXISTING AND NEW BUSINESS:
 
- Their three pronged approach in OPD, Sell-with and IP-led business yielded some good logos with business worth USD 15 Million being added during Fiscal 2012.
 
-  Growth in existing business: Our top 10 customers have consistently demonstrated growth in revenue over Fiscal 2011. Throughout multiple offerings and conscious account mining effort, they have extended their footprint in new divisions in almost all these customers. As the customer connect and flawless deliveries became even more important this year, they re-organized ourselves into customer facing and delivery oriented teams, an initiative which gives them focus in growth through account farming  and defending  the  current  business. They have conscientiously started with customer events and shows to improve their brand awareness into multiple divisions of their large existing customers. They have started rolling out more webinars and white papers to their existing customer community.

 

 

EVOLVING BUSINESS MODELS:
 
In addition to traditional Sell-To model focusing on technology thrust areas, they launched two more business models. Traditional Business model continued to creating more success stories around Collaboration, Mobility, Business Intelligence and Analytics and Cloud Computing. While the other model created additional relationship opportunities.
 
 
SELL-WITH BUSINESS:
 
* Primarily to develop a new transformational business model to drive Persistent sales growth around select Platforms and Solutions, in alignment with their technology initiatives of Cloud, Collaboration, Analytics  and Mobility
 
* To create major new enterprise customer logos where they can sell their broader Services.
 
* To drive existing account growth through the expanded Solutions portfolio.
 
They successfully executed on our platforms/solutions strategy, opening 20+ major new enterprise logos and are now firmly positioning to expand selling technology solutions to enterprises on our customers` product platforms. Next generation solutions will be platform based, delivered as a Cloud service, will integrate Analytics, Collaboration and Mobility solutions.

 

 

IP-LED BUSINESS:
 
Their conscious decision on investing in new IP solutions has started reaping them good rewards. They have been able to leverage these solutions in multi fold ways - adding to existing business models. Enable startups within Persistent - In Fiscal 2011, they launched KLISMA an eCommerce portal. They incubated this in house, helped it reach specific milestones and now have spun it out as a separate entity. eMee is one such solution  on which they have similar aspirations. Persistent encourages such entrepreneurships which has helped us position their brand aggressively not only with customers but also with prospective recruits.
 
 
INVESTING IN PERFORMANCE AND GROWTH:
 
As their customers` needs have evolved, so have their service offerings. They see companies looking for committed reputable partners that can accompany them in their strategic realignments. They have partnered with a number of their customers to take over some of their activities while ensuring that the customer continues to be served with innovative solutions.
 
In June 2011, they announced a partnership to co-invest with Life Technologies to develop instruments in the personalized medicine space. In August 2011, they grew their life sciences software business with the purchase of lab instrument giant Agilent Technologies` software group in Grenoble, France.

 

In February 2012, they acquired the location based services from Openwave Systems, Inc., building momentum in their product maintenance and support services in US.
 
They will continue to explore opportunities to enhance their portfolio or geographic presence in a way that will profitably drive their competitive advantage.
 
 
ORGANIZATION POSITIONED FOR GROWTH:
 
a. 4x4x4 Matrix:
 
While they continue  to focus on our 4 technology  growth  areas  of  Cloud Computing,  Collaboration, Mobility and Business Intelligence and Analytics, at the same time, they are geared up to serve certain industry verticals like Life Sciences, Infrastructure and Services, Telecom and BFSI. Business model and solutioning would be concentrated on OPD business, Sell-With Business, Technology Consulting (TCG) and IP based business model.
 
b. Customer Partners:
 
More they approached Enterprises, more they realized a need of internal business leaders who could act as customer partners. Customer partners would closely work with the Enterprises helping them cater to their business needs and, creating high quality solutions as per requirements. Technology Consulting Group will work closely with Customer partners to maximize the value to their customers.
 
c. CTO Organization:
 
A restructured CTO organization is planned. They have recruited some highly rated technical talent from the industry. They are seeing technology spectrum rapidly changing and they align the CTO organization accordingly. These technology trends are crucial from organizational growth perspective. Here is a short list.
 
Over last 3 years, the 4 focus areas – Cloud Computing, Business Intelligence and Analytics, Mobility and Collaboration - have evolved and will continue to grow in the coming years. Traditional Cloud Computing has become mainstream, but they see the evolution of Cloud services to span across both Private and Public cloud to evolve into a Hybrid cloud. Domain-focused enterprises are looking at Industry-specific clouds (e.g. Healthcare Cloud) to address the specific requirements of their respective domains/industries. A new line of business - Cloud Service Broker - helps Enterprises to seamlessly move to these heterogeneous Cloud environments.
 
Enterprise Mobility is catching up in a big way. With the availability of affordable smartphones, tablets and `phablets` (a term coined to denote a device that is bigger than a phone, but smaller than a tablet). Enterprise users are buying these devices for their personal use and then expect the Enterprises to support these devices. The concept  of  "Bring  The Own Device"  (BYOD)  is  catching on and Enterprise CIOs are  working  hard  to support  this  phenomenon without impacting the security  aspects  of  the Enterprise.  IOS and Android (different versions) are Enterprise mobile platform of choice. Given the wide variety of mobile devices coming into the Enterprises, cross-platform applications focused on `write-once run anywhere` model become very critical. HTML5 is rapidly catching on as the platform of choice for many such applications. Enterprise Mobile Device Management (MDM) is fast catching up as a critical requirement for most Enterprise CIOs.  The purview of MDM covers not only provisioning and configuration, but also security, policy control, application downloads etc. Another evolving trend is the concept of an Enterprise App store - an Enterprise-Centric application store that controls and manages the applications that can run on the employees` devices.
 
With Cloud, Collaboration and mobility working in coherence, there is an outburst of data. Industry now sees a lot of lightweight tools to analyze voluminous, granular data describing user behavior and   preferences. Advances in big data and analytics will certainly reduce the entry barriers for some flavors of insights. The variety of cognitive  visualization techniques,  mobile  platform  and  big data  are  crucial  for  any  cloud strategy. Data outburst has created a need for systems to aggregate data from numerous sources and types with no constraint yet  yielding  valuable insights.

Now they are seamlessly able to create and execute campaigns without having to manage the respective data and systems."


"One of the highlights for E2 attendees is to get the latest, most innovative answers on how they can continue to use social collaboration to work smarter," said Paige Finkelman, E2 General Manager. "Persistent Systems continues to push the envelope in bringing to market next-generation enterprise applications that can help accelerate information, productivity and revenue."

The session outlines the journey ahead -- focusing on what organizations can expect when re-architecting their approach to building cloud-based, scalable, analytics driven, social and mobile enabled enterprise applications. Sanjeev will discuss the new "Enterprise App" life cycle and share early best practices from Persistent Systems' experience helping enterprises leverage these platforms.

In addition, Persistent Systems will highlight the following demos at E2:

  • A Social Intranet solution that addresses traditional content publishing, team collaboration and enterprise social capabilities all wrapped in a modern, mobile friendly, user experience.
  • Social Media Analytics. A case study on how to analyze voluminous and unstructured social media data in real time to drive customer engagement.
