Tata Consultancy Services Honoured as Technology Partner at the Manufacturing Leadership 100 Awards

Tata Consultancy Services (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) has been honored as a "Technology Partner" for its work with customers in key verticals, at this year's Manufacturing Leadership 100 Awards, presented by the Manufacturing Leadership Community, a part of Frost & Sullivan. This award further enhances TCS' longstanding history of developing cutting-edge solutions and successfully implementing transformational projects in the manufacturing and life sciences industry.

For the last nine years, the Manufacturing Leadership 100 Awards have honored innovative companies and individuals from around the world who are shaping the future of global manufacturing. The top 100 projects selected also represent those technology partners, who are set apart from their competitors and deliver clear and compelling return on investment across a wide variety of domains. Winners are evaluated specifically on their process impact, business impact, strategic impact and use of technology.

"TCS' breadth and depth of experience across industry verticals globally provides us with a unique perspective on market trends and best practices," said Debashis Ghosh, Global Head, Manufacturing, Life Sciences and Energy, TCS. "Being recognized as the Technology Partner at the Manufacturing Leadership 100 Awards reaffirms the value that we are delivering to our customers. Our global teams are committed to constantly innovating and delivering superior services to address critical business issues; for instance, we partner with our life sciences customers across the value chain to enable them to advance clinical trial efficiencies, accelerate drug discovery, maximize manufacturing productivity and improve sales and marketing effectiveness."

TCS' Global Business Reporting project with Eli Lilly won the award in the Information Leadership category. "The TCS team, both on-shore and off-shore, has demonstrated an outstanding level of professionalism and partnership. The Global Reporting Project was extremely complex and required a significant level of understanding of local needs around the globe. In addition to providing strong IT competency, the TCS team was able to forge a true partnership with the Lilly team to ultimately deliver a top grade solution to our customers around the world," said Zuheir Shahwan, Director, Global Commercial Operations - Commercial Intelligence at Eli Lilly and Company.

"TCS has been a key partner in helping us implement a new business transformation project within our automotive business that will not only bring our performance to the next level but has also won us recognition in the ML 100 'Information Leadership' category," said Randall Urban, IT Vice President, Johnson Controls, Inc. "As a multi-national company it is imperative that our processes are aligned globally. This new initiative will enable us to further strengthen our cohesiveness by integrating logistic and operational processes across continents."

"The Factory Mobility project was a ground-breaking effort to bring mobile technology to the shop floor on the C-17 Globemaster III Program in Long Beach," said Bill Black, IT Leader for the C-17 Program, The Boeing Company. "Both the TCS and Boeing teams really focused on what the shop-floor customer needed and were able to deliver a quality product that exceeded their expectations. This teaming arrangement has been typical of our relationship with TCS over the last several years."

"We are pleased to be named a technology partner in this year's Manufacturing Leadership 100 Awards," said Milind Lakkad, Vice President and Global Head, Manufacturing, TCS. "Technology continues to play a dominant role across the manufacturing value chain, be it in the cycle time reduction of new product development, product quality improvement, optimization of manufacturing operations or enhancement of customer experience."

The Manufacturing Leadership 100 awards were presented at the 2013 Manufacturing Leadership Summit in Palm Beach, FL.

Shares of Tata Consultancy Services Ltd was last trading in BSE at Rs.1772.45, down by Rs.20.90 or 1.17%. The stock hit an intraday high of Rs.1799.70 and low of Rs.1750.60.

The total traded quantity was 0.87 lakhs compared to 2 week average of 1.98 lakhs.

Hiring by TCS, Infosys and Wipro falls by more than half in June quarter

NEW DELHI: Hiring by TCS, InfosysBSE -0.01 % and Wipro, which account for a major chunk of job opportunities in the sector, slowed down by a hefty 60 per cent in the April-June quarter as the big three hired only around 3,400 persons.


In the April-June 2012, these three companies had hired over 8,700 persons on a net basis.

The country's largest IT company TCSBSE -1.17 % added 1,390 persons in the June quarter this year, against net addition of 4,962 persons in the year ago period.

Infosys hired 575 persons during the quarter against 1,157 net additions in the same period last year.

WiproBSE 1.74 % added 1,469 people to its IT services division in June quarter compared to over 2,600 people in the year ago period.

In the January-March quarter, the three companies had hired over 16,500 persons.

While TCS and Infosys saw gross additions of 10,000 each during June 2013 quarter, net addition subtracts the number of people leaving the company from the gross additions.

Experts consider the net number as a better indicator of actual increase in staff count.

"IT companies are cautious in their hiring plans currently. They are hiring on requirement and project basis," Uday Sodhi of job portal Head Honchos said.

Hiring in the sunrise sector has been sluggish as the outsourcing industry is under duress amid clients cutting back on IT spends fearing a further weakening of the economic conditions.

TCS while announcing its results this month had said that its hiring had come down due to low attrition rate. The company witnessed a low attrition rate of 9.55 per cent for IT devision and 15.77 per cent for BPO segment.

A recent survey by IT industry body Nasscom had said that attrition rate in the IT sector has come down to around 14 per cent in 2012-13 from 19 per cent in 2010-11 for IT and KPO segments.

The survey, which rated TCS, Infosys and Wipro among top five IT employers, also said that hiring by companies would grow at a slower rate this year.

Moreover, there has been a change in hiring pattern by software and services companies, which may lower net additions this year, it said.

Project based 'just-in-time' hiring is the dominant way at present, it added.

TCS expands Europe presence, acquires Alti SA for Rs 530 cr


New Delhi: IT services major Tata Consultancy Services ( TCS) today said it has completed the acquisition of French enterprise solutions provider Alti SA, a move that will help the Tata Group company to expand its reach in Europe.
In April this year, the Mumbai-headquartered company had announced it will acquire Alti SA for 75 million euros (about Rs 533 crore) in an all-cash deal to help transform TCS into a major player in France — the third-largest IT services market in Europe.
The acquisition gives the firm access to blue-chip French and European clients in banking, luxury, manufacturing and utilities sectors.

“TCS CEO and Managing Director N Chandrasekaran and ALTI’s founders signed the final agreement to commence the integration of ALTI into TCS’ operations in France. The acquisition had been initially announced in April 2013,” TCS said in a statement.
Alti SA is regarded as one of the top five system integrators of SAP solutions in France. It includes several top French corporations in the banking, financial services, luxury, manufacturing and utilities sectors as its key customers, it added.
“Today is a historic day for our company in France, which will see us emerge as a much stronger player in the local market and which sets the platform for our future growth in the region,” Chandrasekaran said.
As a long term strategic market for TCS, with leading edge infrastructure and a highly skilled engineering talent pool, France was a natural destination for the company to invest in towards our future growth, he added.
“The important investments made by TCS in its two sites in France (Ile-de-France and Lille) since February 2013 are true testimonials to the capability of France to welcome and integrate companies from abroad that have installed themselves on our soil,” French Republic Minister for Economic Regeneration Arnaud Montebourg said.
Assessed at over 30 billion euros, the France IT services market is the largest in Europe, after the UK and Germany. TCS has been operating in France since 1992 and has over 50 clients in the country.
Earlier, Alti SA was a privately-held company owned by its management and two private equity funds, CM-CIC LBO Partners and IDI, which supported its growth from a revenue base of 64 million euro in 2007 to 126 million euro in 2012.
Regarded as one of the top five system integrators of enterprise solutions in France, Alti’s key customers comprise several top French corporations in the banking, financial services, luxury, manufacturing and utilities sectors.
The company has 1,200 employees based in France, Belgium and Switzerland.

Infosys may miss FY13 guidance; TCS & Cognizant well poised: BofA-ML

NEW DELHI: Based on feedback from major IT companies, Bank of America Merrill Lynch is optimistic that 2013 could see a pick up in transformation related IT services spend. The sentiment on business outlook in 2013 for IT is better than last year, states the report.

Within the IT sector, BoA-ML feels that Infosys is likely to miss its guidance for the current financial year. The bank also sees a downside risk to its estimates for Infosys.

However, BofA-ML feels that the IT major's strategy to move up the value chain and to re-engineer costs to improve competitiveness in the more commoditized outsourcing business is right. "There is also concerted effort on execution," the report says.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) remains ahead of its peers on its investments in new markets and innovation, the report states. The bank also continues to view Cognizant as well positioned given its investment in client relationship management and new services in maturing IT services industry.

IT budgets 

Both TCS and Cognizant are cautiously optimistic about 2013 budgets. TCS's CFO TV Mahalingam is reasonably optimistic and has said that transformation is a key area of focus for CEOs. On the issue of manufacturing, TCS' CFO Mahalingam said the company's manufacturing vertical has a good pipeline of future projects. He also appeared optimistic on thefinancial services vertical.

While Mahalingam expects usual seasonal weakness in the December quarter due to the year-end shutdowns or furloughs, especially at manufacturing plants, he has not cited more than expected furloughs.

On the other hand, Cognizant's North America clients are forecasting flat IT budgets in 2013, similar with prior years, with offshore likely to gain. In BofA-ML's view, Cognizant was ahead of the curve in working to grow its consulting practice as others now seek to replicate it.

Hiring: 

Given lower attrition and uncertainty in the market environment, IT companies have become more cautious with on-campus hiring of fresh engineering graduates. While the campus placement process is still on, hiring is lower than last year. According to the report, companies are treading cautiously post last years' experience when the industry had over hired.

The report also cited outlook of the major IT services firms. Here is a look at how they are expected to fare across verticals in 2013:

Tata Consultancy Services 

Given modest increases in utilization and an improving onsite/offshore mix, TCS hopes to achieve its aspiration of holding EBIT margins at 27% level. TCS is also investing in developing IP to help improve automation in delivery.

Infosys 

Given lower revenues, the stiff margin target set for the second half appears to be at risk. However the bank has maintained its 'Buy' rating on the fact that no let up in initiatives to transform revenue mix is seen. "Growth is clearly a top priority, and is the key to margins too," the report added.

Cognizant 

The bank remains comfortable with its 17.2% YoY revenue growth forecast for the fourth qaurter. It acknowledged some concern about discretionary spend. According to Rajesh Balaji, Practice leader Manufacturing and Logistics, manufacturers typically spend 0.5-1.5% of revenue on IT.

Cognizant's manufacturing clients generate 70% of revenue outside of the US. Europe has been especially focused on cost takeout. The competitive landscape has changed over the last four to five years in Balaji's view.

Boeing, TCS to begin operations in MIHAN by March 2013: Prithviraj Chavan

NAGPUR: Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan said Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport (MIHAN) is on track and by March 2013 work on Boeing's maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility would be completed.

He was replying to a question raised in the legislative council on Tuesday during question hour.

Shiv Sena's Neelam Gorhe claimed that companies have not shown any interest in setting up base at MIHAN and the project has not found any takers owing to high rates.

He said that the house that a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) to come-up alongside MIHAN, some space would be reserved for the service sector.

The state government has initiated steps to acquire 135 hectares of land, for a second airstrip.

TCS signs multi-year contract with UK's Mitchells & Butlers



Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, today, announced that it has entered into a multi-year agreement with Mitchells & Butlers (M&B). The UK’s leading hospitality business chain is partnering with TCS to streamline the management of its HR and payroll operations, which serve 38,000 employees across 1600 restaurants and pubs across the country.

Martin Taylor, Director of Business Change & Technology, Mitchells & Butlers, said, “In the last 12 months we have successfully upgraded our core network and replaced our old data center infrastructure by moving into the cloud, whilst introducing a utility-based services model. We are now at the exciting stage of taking advantage of this foundation by implementing TCS’ HCM core HR and Payroll solution that will streamline our support processes, benefit our employees and place our guests at the heart of everything we do.”

“We are delighted to partner with Mitchells & Butlers and are confident that our cloud-based Human Capital Management solution will help align M&B’s current business operations to deliver best-in-class services to their employees and customers,” said Shankar Narayanan, Head, TCS UK & Ireland.

Susan Martindale, Group HR Director, Mitchells & Butlers, said, “We want to improve the level of HR services that we have available to our employees, and the TCS HCM system will help us on our journey to enhance our capabilities in the areas of people development, reward, resourcing and engagement.”

“The TCS HCM Platform is a result of several years of research and investment by TCS. It provides our customers with an integrated, scalable and global solution, which is not just cost-effective, but also helps customers move away from siloed approaches to talent development, payroll and employee lifecycle management,” said Raj Agrawal, Global Head, TCS’ Platform Solutions.

The agreement underscores TCS’ non-linear growth strategy in key markets. TCS’ HCM Platform is an integrated and global solution that encompasses key areas of payroll, time management, workforce administration, compensation, recruitment, learning management and performance management. It comes with full self-service, actionable analytical reporting and comprehensive mobile enablement. Customers have the choice to adopt the platform under SaaS, BPaaS (SaaS + BPO Process Delivery) or a hybrid model.

TCS expects 2013-14 to be a better year

India’s largest software services company by revenueTata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) expects the 2013-14 fiscal to be a better one for software companies than the current fiscal. As for the current fiscal, TCS will meet the revenue growth rate projected by the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) lobby group. The outlook is more optimistic than guidance by Infosys Ltd, the No.2 Indian software services company.
“Nasscom has projected a growth of around 11% for fiscal year 2013 and we are sticking to that,” N. Chandrasekaran, managing director and chief executive officer, said on the sidelines of a Nasscom summit in Mumbai on Tuesday. “For manufacturing, telecom and hi-tech companies, the December quarter is furlough, so it will have an impact on growth.”
Growth traditionally slows in the three months to December for most companies with a presence in the US, the largest market for Indian software firms. The US accounts for over 50% of TCS’ total revenue.
“The US is recovering, post-elections. There’ll be a focus on job growth and economic growth. In my mind, it will do better not only as an economy, but (also) in the tech sector,” Chandrasekaran said.
In February, Nasscom had projected a growth of 11-14% in 2012-13 for India’s $100 billion information technology (IT) services industry, 70% of which is generated from exports.
Infosys told analysts last week that a further moderation is likely in its 5% projected growth this fiscal.
Brokerage Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd said in its 6 December report on Infosys that its discussions with the company indicate that a further moderation in FY13 revenue guidance of “at least 5% dollar revenue growth” to $7.3 billion is most likely, given that decision-making on some of the large deals that the company was expected to close has been affected both by natural events such as Hurricane Sandy and associated delays.
TCS will wait before commenting on client budgets.
“We are in December now, the year is ending,” Chandrasekaran said. “We will talk about it in January.”
In its 5 December report on Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., IDFC Securities Research said, “Global corporates are experiencing uncertainty on the back of slowdown/recession in key European economies and possibility of a slowdown/recession in the US (fiscal cliff in 2013). It is likely to lead to largely flat IT budgets for CY13 with FY14 being another tepid growth for Indian IT sector.”
Last week, Cognizant’s filing to the US regulator Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) hinting at growth of around 16%—slower than its previous estimate—sent IT stocks in the red.
Most brokerages expect IT stocks to underperform the Sensex, BSE Ltd’s bellwether equity index, in the next fiscal. In past six months the exchange’s IT index has lost 4.03% while the Sensex has gained 22.16%.
On Tuesday, the Sensex was down 0.12% to 19,837 points and the IT index was down 0.71% to 5,554 points.
“I don’t see the stocks of the entire IT sector doing the same. The sector is in a mature phase where certain players like TCS, HCL and Tech Mahindra will do better than the rest like Infosys, Wipro,” said an analyst with a Mumbai-based brokerage, requesting anonymity.
Chandrasekaran of TCS flagged currency as a concern.
“As long as there is no huge volatility between quarters, we are okay, but we need to keep long-term rupee appreciation in mind,” he said.
Hitesh Shah, Indian telecom and technology analyst with IDFC Securities Research, agreed.
“If there is a gradual rupee appreciation, companies can absorb it but if there is sharp appreciation, then it will affect them,” he said. “We are building in some kind of rupee appreciation in our estimates of IT companies for the next one to two years.”
The local currency has been volatile this year. From a level of 53.31 against the dollar in the beginning of the year, the rupee slipped to 57.16, its lifetime low, on 22 June, losing 7.16%. A series of measures by the Reserve Bank of India propped up the local currency to 51.74 against the dollar in October but since then it has lost 4.66% to close at 54.28 against the dollar on Tuesday.

Rating TCS as Highest Performer Among All Vendors Analyzed, Report Cites Growth in Insurance AO Revenue, Breadth of Clients and Solutions as Key Leadership Characteristics
