INFRA OUTSOURCING BIZ TO HIT $8.8 BILLION BY 2010: EVEREST
Gaurie Mishra & Deepshikha Monga, New Delhi
The Economic TimesInfrastructure outsourcing is going to be the next big wave in outsourcing. While Indian IT companies at present are handling infrastructure outsourcing work worth $1.2 billion, this figure is expected to touch $8.8 billion by 2010. According to a research by global offshoring advisory firm Everest, most of this work will come to the IT majors Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), HCL Technologies, Wipro and Satyam.
"The potential of this segment is huge and Indian companies should be able to get outsourcing contracts worth $8.8 billion by 2010, which is a conservative estimate. The market’s expected to go up to $30 billion by 2015-2020. This segment has the potential to create employment for millions of graduates in India," said Everest Group founder and CEO Peter Bendor-Samuel.
The other companies, which are expected to get a significant chunk of the infrastructure outsourcing pie, include Cognizant and Infosys Technologies. While Wipro has entered into a strategic alliance with networking major Cisco to build IT infrastructure service solutions, combining the latter’s networking solutions with its own infrastructure and managed services portfolio, HCL Technologies is following a different model, called co-sourcing.
Under the co-sourcing model, the client retains strategic portion of operations like technology refresh, policy definition and architecture issues while HCL, which operates in the remote infrastructure management space through its Infrastructure Services Division (ISD), takes over day-to-day running of operations and other areas as defined by its client. The company counts infrastructure services among its fastest growing service lines.
According to an Everest whitepaper, service providers should focus more on governance tools that include applications governing the IT operations with service-level guidelines and providing business transparency of the IT effort.
Infrastructure management (IM) tools, which are a set of applications helping manage the functioning of IT infrastructure including storage devices and networks, provide significant operational benefits but are unlikely to provide competitive advantages, Everest has said.

Kolkata
Business StandardeBay India Motors (EIM), a subsidiary of eBay Inc, is expecting eastern India sales to contribute 25 percent to its overall business in the next 3 years. At present east contributes close to 20 percent.
EIM, that sells to intermediaries who in turn sell to end-customers, is also in talks with financial institutions like ICICI Bank, HDFILC Bank and Tata Motor Finance, to organise financing to these intermediaries the way they fund SMEs.

The company in October launched a classifieds section on its website where buyers can directly contact sellers by email or phone and complete the transaction offline.

I ADMIRE
Venugopal N Dhoot, November 18, 2007
The Financial ExpressRatan Tata of Tata Group, Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries and chief mentor of Infosys, Narayana Murthy are some of the corporate leaders that have created history with their patience, perseverance, hard work and great statesman- like qualities. They have inspired me a great deal and have helped me set targets for my corporate growth. Not just me, they are leaders who have motivated thousands of others with their discipline, greatly regulated eating habits and vision. Even those who interact with them at regular intervals are motivated to follow their career plans. I am deeply influenced by their work and their personalities, and in my own humble way, try to learn something or other in each interaction of mine with them. I find their company stimulating and look out for opportunities to meet them. Take for example Ratan Tata — his humility, maturity and overall demeanour are so appealing that it perhaps because of these traits of his that a turnaround was possible in the Tata Group. After liberalisation set in, Rata Tata has braved difficult situations with equanimity and has came out of them with astounding success, without bothering whether he might fail.
In Narayana Murthy’s case it was sheer hard work and honesty that brought him success. He comes from a humble background, but because of his commitment to excellence, he is where he is today. One does not notice any difference between Murthy’s public and private conduct as he maintains an extremely high level of equilibrium between the two. That is why he rose and created an empire for the knowledge Economy. His contribution towards information technology is so substantial that he is one among very few who would be remembered for centuries for keeping India’s flag flying high at various overseas locations.
Now let me say something about Mukesh Ambani. He is one leader who inherited a huge empire but maintaining it and retaining its shine has been a challenge for him. He has positioned himself suitably and has been able to withstand the pressures of being at the helm of affairs very well. As a result, the faith of shareholders in the Ambani group is getting firmed up and this should be deemed as a great achievement for him.

INDIA IS OUR FOURTH LARGEST TRADING PARTNER
November 18, 2007
The Financial ExpressThe Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Republic of India share a heritage that dates back several millennia. For centuries traders from the Arab Peninsula crossed the Hindukush and the Arabian Sea to exchange commodities and ideas. They also served as the major link between West Asia and the Mediterranean on one hand and the Indian Coast on the other.
Both countries have always been each other’s main trading partners, with India being the fourth largest trading partner for Saudi Arabia. The value of the two-way trade between the two countries has been on an upswing since Ambassador Saleh Mohd. Al-Ghamdi came to India in 2003. It has gone up from about $500 on both sides to the present level of $2 billion. The figures speak for themselves, as there has been unprecedented growth in all sectors: health, education, labour and IT. In fact all the four major IT Companies, including Wipro, Tata, Infosys and Satyam have their projects in the Kingdom. And Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is scheduled to visit the Kingdom soon says the ambassador in a conversation with Huma Siddiqui. Some excerpts follow:
Economy and trade
Since 2006, with the visit of King Abdullah, the dynamics of bilateral ties have changed — from mainly commercial and economic, to scientific and technical cooperation, further strengthening the economic part of it. The visit triggered a lot of activities on both sides leading to greater cooperation in various fields of mutual interest, including trade and investments, higher education, information and communication technology, health etc. Several high-profile visits have taken place since then between the two sides, both at governmental and non-governmental levels and the business communities of the two sides have further strengthened their contacts and concluded several tie-ups and joint ventures. Bilateral relations between the two countries are poised to reach new heights in view of record-breaking high-level political and commercial exchanges during the last few years. We are looking forward to further strengthening our relations in all fields, especially in the IT sector.

The Times of IndiaA new version of the Firefox browser, now available for testing mainly by developers, offers improvements on finding frequently visited websites and tools for running Web applications without a live Internet connection.
The Beta 1 version of Firefox 3 released this week still has problems, including the inability to run newer Web-mail programmes from Yahoo Inc and Microsoft Corp, and a final version for consumers isn't expected for several months.
But it offers a window on what's to come. Many of its new features concern bookmarks, an area typically slow to change in the browsing world. One can now add keywords, or tags, to sort bookmarks by topic.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN INDIA IS MIND-BLOWING
Washington
The Economic TimesDespite a weak education system and big problems with infrastructure, India is racing ahead to become a major hub for research, design, and innovation, says Vivek Wadhwa, an Indian American entrepreneur-turned-academic.
With outsourcing going far beyond low level IT, innovation is increasingly happening offshore, said Delhi-born Wadhwa, a Wertheim Fellow at Harvard Law School's Labour and Worklife Programme.
But "what's happening in India is particularly mind-blowing," he said.
"You wouldn't expect a country with few washing machines and dryers to be designing the next generations of these for American consumers...or to be designing key components of automobiles and jetliners...or next generation retail systems...or chipsets for high definition TVs." Wadhwa said describing this as "just the tip of the iceberg".
It may not be clear whether this is good or bad for the US, but what is clear is that globalisation is unstoppable, he said, asking the US, which has so far gained from globalisation, to "be smart enough to adjust its policies to benefit and stay ahead".
