1Q14 IT Services Vendor Benchmark | Professional Services Business Quarterly
©2014 Technology Business Research, Inc.
Executive Summary: Key Findings
TBR
Vendors invest in vertical-specific and next-generation IT services;
however, commoditization exerts downward pressure on revenue growth
IT Services* Vendor Trends for 1Q14
Performance: Average trailing 12-month (TTM) IT services revenue grew 1.1% yearto-year in 1Q14, lower than the 1.5% year-to-year growth in 4Q13 and the 3.5% yearto-year growth in 1Q13. To counter slowing IT services growth, firms are investing in
sales initiatives and transforming their portfolios to provide vertical-specific solutions
and emerging technologies that encompass developed or acquired IP.

SOURCE: BLOG.ENTREPENUERARTS.COM
Service lines: Vendor emphasis on embedding growth offerings such as cloud,
mobility, big data and analytics, security, and social media into their core consulting
and systems integration (C&SI) offerings accelerated C&SI TTM revenue growth from
1.5% year-to-year in 1Q13 to 2.1% year-to-year in 1Q14. Commoditization of
traditional IT services and businesses shifting to cloud environments continue to
hinder legacy IT outsourcing (ITO) revenue streams. In 1Q14 ITO TTM revenue
declined 1.1% year-to-year in contrast to 0.8% growth year-to-year in 1Q13.
SOURCE: FREEWORLDMAPS.NET
Geographies: India-centric vendors’ regional expansion in EMEA through investments
in resources, offerings and alliances helped improve revenue share in EMEA. Average
EMEA TTM revenue shifted from a 2.1% year-to-year decline in 1Q13 to 2.5% year-toyear growth in 1Q14. APAC average TTM revenue declined by 4.8% year-to-year in
1Q14, down from 4.4% year-to-year growth in 1Q13, due to slowing economic
growth in China, India and Australia.
*IT services include consulting and systems integration (C&SI), applications outsourcing (AO), IT outsourcing (ITO) and business process outsourcing (BPO). IT services market growth is determined on the
basis of the 30 vendors included in TBR’s Professional Services Business Quarterly coverage. The growth rates represent trailing 12-month comparisons and compare 1Q12-4Q12 and 1Q13-4Q13 periods.

TCS’ investments in R&D and strategic partnerships such as those with Microsoft Business Solutions ramp up the
firm’s capabilities to meet the supply-side demand for digital transformation solutions spanning cloud, mobility and
big data. However, to sustain its double-digit revenue growth in FY15, TCS will need to hire and acquire more techsavvy consultants to help competitively tout its portfolio across mature and emerging markets. As TCS increases its
focus on these opportunities, adding consultants will help it capture multiple digital-focused deals that support
overall sales.
Fujitsu, despite its announcement of a Global Delivery Organization, continues to report TTM revenue declines, still
challenged by its long-standing inability to build and expand revenue streams outside Japan. Fujitsu’s business is
more seasonal than its peers’ due to its reliance on hardware and IT to sell accompanying IT services, thus affecting
its TTM growth.

Executive Summary: Market Overview and Market Leaders
TBR
India-centric firms lead peers in growth and profitability by meeting the
need of clients in Europe to reduce costs using nearshore delivery centers
Growth and Profit Leaders
• CGI continued to register the positive
revenue impact of its 2012 acquisition
of professional services peer Logica,
putting it in the lead position in 1Q14
TTM services revenue growth, despite
posting its second consecutive quarter
of sequential revenue contraction.
TBR expects CGI will slip further in
growth rankings in 2Q14.
• Cognizant registered strong year-toyear revenue growth, benefiting from
2013 large-scale outsourcing wins and
recent consulting acquisitions that
accelerated expansion in Europe.
Cognizant adhered to its strategy of
reinvesting profits over its target 19%
to 20% margin range in growth
initiatives such as cloud and analytics
technologies, global delivery
expansion, and niche acquisitions
such as Itaas Inc., a digital video
solutions company headquartered in
the U.S.

Executive Summary: Market Overview and Market Leaders
TBR
Revenue growth and profitability laggards are investing in automation
and improved productivity to reduce service delivery costs
Growth and Profit Laggards
• To improve profitability, Fujitsu needs to
better automate its processes and delivery
and further consolidate its workforce while
better utilizing offshore labor. TBR expects
the tasks will take at least one year to pay off
as the company struggles with shifting to a
global delivery model.
• CSC’s high level of exposure to contracting
federal IT services budgets combined with its
migration of commercial clients to lowercost, higher-value cloud-based infrastructure
yielded four quarters of revenue contraction.
Improved activity from CSC’s commercial
business will help mitigate revenue declines
in the government business in 2Q14.
• IBM GS’ revenue remains challenged by
declining global sales and competitive
pressures brought on by low-cost firms. The
company identifies and invests in industry
disruptors and technologies to realign its
business to grow revenue and profit. IBM
accelerated investments in 1Q14 to build out
technology initiatives such as BlueMix,
MobileFirst and Smarter Commerce.

The positive effect of CGI’s acquisition of Logica diminished during 1Q14, leading to a drop of 5,910 basis points in
TTM revenue growth from the year-ago quarter. However, CGI still led all IT services firms in the benchmark as the
acquisition still impacts TTM revenue growth.
TCS had a strong close to its fiscal year, delivering robust, broad-based revenue growth of 15.2% year-to-year in
1Q14 and 16.2% for FY14 against the year-ago compare. The firm gained momentum in continental Europe, where it
registered 36.1% year-to-year growth in FY14 as the demand for cost-saving transformational solutions from
budget-conscious clients in Germany, France and Nordic countries drove regional signings.
1Q14 IT Services Vendor Benchmark | Professional Services Business Quarterly
©2014 Technology Business Research, Inc.
Executive Summary: Market Overview and Market Leaders
TBR
Revenue and growth leaders are leveraging next-generation IT offerings
and investments in European expansion to solidify their top positions
IBM GS: IBM drives its service business through its Global Business
Services unit due to the demand for digital transformation via nextgeneration applications and IT environments. Conversely, IBM’s Global
Technology Services unit poses challenges for overall services
revenues owing to the erosion of legacy ITO due to cloud.
HP Services: HP Services ranks second in TTM revenue as a result of
its sheer size and global footprint. Revenue decline is decelerating,
however, as the company builds out its portfolio to better align with
market trends.
Accenture: Maintaining its lead in the market will depend on the
firm’s ability to leverage and synchronize growth platforms such as
digital, strategy, technology and BPO at a pace faster than the
converging IT services market.
CGI: Industry-leading TTM revenue growth reflects the addition of
Logica’s revenues to CGI financials, providing favorable year-to-year
compares. Western Europe, particularly the U.K., served as an engine
for organic growth as higher-value service offerings resonated with
clients in the region.
Cognizant: Growth was broad-based across industries and service
lines, primarily driven by Europe, aided by recent onshore consulting
acquisitions and large-scale outsourcing contracts won in 2H13. TBR
expects growth will decelerate in 2Q14 as longer decision cycles for
new deals in the pipeline delay revenue recognition until 2H14.
Capita: Capita delivered double-digit revenue growth thanks to its
market focus in the U.K. and enhanced capabilities gained through
integration of the slew of M&As the firm pursued over the past three
years. The firm won deals with public and private sector clients for a
total of £1.1 billion in 1Q14.

Executive Summary: Market Overview and Market Leaders
TBR
Client migration to cloud-based IT systems drives growth for consulting
and AO but leads to ITO revenue declines due to cannibalization
C&SI
• Top Revenue: IBM GS, $20.4B
• Top Growth: CGI, 48.2% year-to-year*
• Client migration to cloud-based ecosystems and mobile
platforms will continue to drive consulting and
integration services. Vendors will look to embed growth
technologies such as cloud, mobility, analytics and social
media into core C&SI offerings. Enterprises will continue
to build onshore delivery resources and invest in training
programs to enhance their global delivery models and
better compete.
Note: Bubbles indicate YTY revenue growth and arrows indicate directional
change relative to the year-ago quarter (accelerating or decelerating growth).
*The inclusion of acquired Logica and Northgate Managed Services revenues skews CGI’s and
Capita’s year-to-year growth figures, respectively, bringing the firms to top spots in TTM revenue
growth.
9
BPO
• Top Revenue: Xerox, $10.5B
• Top Growth: Cognizant, 25% year-to-year
• Demand for BPO and services that support cost takeout
and improve operational efficiency will drive
outsourcing growth. Vendors will expand core BPO
(horizontal — F&A, HR, etc.) and industry-specific BPO,
and focus on growing in emerging markets in 2014.
AO
• Top Revenue: Accenture, $7.8B
• Top Growth: SAP Services, 21.7% year-to-year
• Increasing demand for application modernization
services will expand AO revenue as clients seek to move
traditional applications to cloud and mobility IT
environments. The combination of cloud, industry
capabilities, geographic reach, and internal IP and tools
will help AO vendors maximize revenue and profits.
ITO
• Top Revenue: IBM GS, $23.4B
• Top Growth: Capita, 544.6% year-to-year*
• Evolving ITO delivery models, economic conditions and
businesses shifting to cloud environments continue to
hinder legacy ITO revenue streams. Vendors will
establish data centers in APAC and LATAM to capture
the increasing demand.

TBR
Economic recovery in Europe drives higher IT services spending in
EMEA, while the economic slowdown in China hurts APAC growth
Americas
• Top Revenue: IBM GS, $25.2B
• Top Growth: Genpact, 24.7% year-to-year
• Revenue from healthcare and financial services
industries continues to increase in the Americas but not
enough to yield growth in 1Q14. Despite an uptick in
public sector signings, the small value of those contracts
outweighs the growth in healthcare and financial
services. Vendors will look to capitalize on the increased
healthcare spending spurred by the Affordable Care Act,
while others, including some India-centric firms and
Cisco and Fujitsu, invest in Canada to diversify their
revenues in the Americas.

• Vendors will leverage their established footprints and
capabilities in faster-recovering central European
countries and developed MEA markets to drive
revenues and offset pricing challenges across EMEA.
• Europe-based vendors are increasing investments in big
data and analytics, cloud, digital innovation, mobility,
and particularly security due to increased demand from
clients as they shift from legacy application and IT
systems to the cloud.
APAC
• Top Revenue: Fujitsu, $18.7B
• Top Growth: WNS, 58.8% year-to-year
• Persistent challenges in China’s business environment
will continue to impact IT vendors’ expansion plans in
low-cost markets in APAC. Vendors will selectively
target M&As that will boost their global footprints in
underpenetrated regions such as Australia, New
Zealand and the Philippines, where firms such as
Cognizant and Atos continue to leverage acquisitions
Medicall and WindowLogic, respectively, to expand in
APAC.

Wipro continues to hone its delivery efficiency and quality through the use of platform-based managed services
offerings such as ServiceNXT, increasing the firm’s profitability despite smaller deal sizes. Gross profit jumped 20.6%
year-to-year to $626 million, and operating margin expanded 430 basis points year-to-year in 1Q14 to 24.5% on the
strength of productivity improvements and increased employee utilization.
Dell Services’ TTM operating margin benefits from the firm’s emphasis on shifting its work mix from commoditized
services to high-value application development and maintenance (ADM) and BPO engagements providing industry
knowledge and expertise. TBR expects increased spending on training to educate direct and channel sales staff on
the full portfolio of Dell Services solutions will exert downward pressure on the firm’s operating margin in 2014.

Cisco Services: Cisco Services’ peer-leading margins continued to
expand during the quarter, indicating improved efficiency in service
delivery as a result of reorganization, automation, leverage of
channel partners and reduced variable compensation expenses. TBR
expects Cisco Services’ margins will be among the highest in the IT
services industry over the next couple of years.
Oracle Services: TBR estimates that Oracle Services’ operating
margin grew 240 basis points year-to-year in 1Q14, driven by a 54%
operating margin in hardware systems support, which was 42.4% of
Oracle services revenue. TBR believes that reported 10% annual
growth in hardware system product revenue initiated almost 5%
annual growth in hardware systems support and, coupled with
increased efficiencies, led to an increase of 450 basis points in
hardware systems support operating margin year-to-year. Oracle’s
position in TBR’s IT Services Vendor Benchmark will continue to
improve as the company monetizes investments in hardware and
drives increased profitability from hardware support.
TCS: TCS remained a leader in TTM operating margin, expanding 200
basis points against the year-ago compare to 29% in 1Q14. Robust
margin performance was due to TCS’ ability to successfully manage
operational costs and reinvest in its portfolio, arming it with tools
and IP that enable the company to stay ahead of its competition.
TCS noted in its earnings call that it will give wage hikes as high as
14% to top performers for FY15, and promotions are planned in
FY2Q15, but the effect on margins will not be significant.

Vendors build industry-specific IP portfolios to differentiate, reduce
reliance on labor-based services and boost revenues and profits
IP-rich industry-related solutions help vendors to differentiate, capture growth and increase margins
TBR Assessment
Examples of vendors’ recent investments in industry-specific IP:
Vendors continue ramping up internal
investment in IP-based solutions while
purchasing or partnering with niche firms
to fill portfolio gaps. Industry-related
solutions help IT firms address specific
client needs and support growth across
service areas such as C&SI and BPO. IPrelated solutions enhance vendors’ brand
recognition and market differentiation;
however, it takes several quarters after its
release before new IP contributes
revenue.
•
Accenture and SAP partnered to develop the Business Solutions Group and
launch the Upstream Production Operation solution. The Business Solutions
Group will coinnovate intellectual-property-driven technology solutions
centered on specific industries and in collaboration with select clients.
Accenture’s continual investments in its IP assets coupled with the firm’s
decision to automate parts of IT infrastructure management services through
implementation of IPsoft’s IPcenter solution, will enable Accenture to deliver
transformation services and solutions converging business processes and IT.
• Capgemini is experiencing client interest in its IP-based products and solutions
under the Ready2Series brand. The Ready2Series includes industry-specific
solutions that provide the firm with opportunities to accelerate long-term
revenue growth across verticals and services such as C&SI and BPO.
• Infosys’ efforts to improve sales efficiency were highlighted by its success in
capturing large-scale outsourcing engagements. The firm continued to invest
in IP tools such as Process Progression Model, an end-to-end BPO platform, to
address the shift in client demand from BPO to Business Process Services.
• Cognizant looks to expand its presence in the healthcare industry. IP-based
solutions enable the firm to differentiate from peers. The firm builds industryspecific IP for the healthcare vertical through a combination of internal R&D
and customer cocreation. Cognizant codeveloped an online quoting tool,
QuoteNow, with U.S.-based health insurance provider Fallon Community
Health Plan. The firm also offers the CareSERV Medical Management Platform,
which combines cloud and analytics technologies with Cognizant’s clinical staff
to optimize care and utilization management, and the iAlign analytics platform
that assists life sciences clients with sales planning.

IT service providers remain focused on providing solutions to the evolving
security needs of their global clients
Vendors invest in security services and capabilities to meet the demand for mobile and cloud security
TBR Assessment
Examples of vendors’ recent investments in security:
Security is increasing in importance for
clients, driven by the shift of legacy
applications and IT systems to the cloud,
coupled with enterprise mobility, the
Bring-Your-Own-Device trend and public
awareness of security breaches.
Less visibility of security capabilities
positions firms such as Capgemini and Atos
at a competitive disadvantage, which they
attempt to overcome with new alliances,
offerings and security service delivery
announcements. At the same time IT
service providers such as IBM, HP and
Accenture are continually expanding their
security practices to attract clients across
the IT services life cycle.

Security services emerged as a key interest area for partnering in 1Q14, as
IBM looks to shore up managed security offerings that complement its cloud
and on-premises infrastructure management portfolios. IBM and CrowdStrike
Inc. will launch Advanced Cyber Threat Intelligence Service in 1H14.
Xerox’s alliance efforts in 1Q14 were centered around enhancing its offerings
by adding new capabilities to security (Authentix) and automation (LabTech,
DocuSign) solutions.
HP opened a 130,000-square-foot Security Operations Center in Sydney,
which will join HP’s U.S. and U.K. security centers.
In February CSC released an incident response offering for commercial clients
enabling uninterrupted access to CSC’s cybersecurity professionals in case of
a cybersecurity incident. In April CSC unveiled a new cybersecurity offering,
AppSEC on Demand, which enables organizations to test the security of their
software applications in a hosted secure environment that meets U.S. federal
and commercial regulatory requirements.
Atos plans to make its managed security and cybersecurity services more
visible to the market in 2014. Atos launched a Security Service Delivery unit
at the end of 2013 with a global reach and 24/7 availability. In 2014 the firm
is enhancing its cybersecurity offerings and launching services such as Next
Generation Endpoint Protection, Cyber Threat Management Dashboard,
Cloud Data Loss Prevention and Identity & Access Management as a Service.
Capgemini partnered with Unisys in March to resell Unisys’ Stealth
cybersecurity software. Capgemini’s security offerings are not visible to
clients, with the exception of Sogeti, which has an IT security offerings group.
The firm embeds security across consulting, technology services and
outsourcing.

Canada emerges as a key focus for IT services growth through alliances,
acquisitions and organic investments for several IT services firms
Vendors’ strategic investments in Canada will position the IT service companies to benefit from the
growing need for IT solutions from expanding financial and oil & gas companies in the region
TBR Assessment
Examples of vendors’ recent investments in Canada:
Faced with challenging prospects in
emerging LATAM and APAC countries
such as difficult business environments
in Brazil and China, vendors are
intensifying their expansion efforts in
Canada. Vendors seek growth
opportunities from the vast amounts of
natural resource companies and
continued growth in the financial
services industry in the region. TBR
expects the pace of investments in
Canada will continue to increase
through 2014.
•
Cognizant acquired Itaas Inc., a digital video solutions firm headquartered in the
U.S. Cognizant will onboard an estimated 200 employees across Canada, the U.S.
and India. Cognizant adds next-wave technology capabilities including connected
device application development and strengthens its position in the
underpenetrated media and communications market.
• As part of its plan to invest $4 billion over the next 10 years in Ontario, Canada,
and create 1,700 new jobs, Cisco is investing $100 million in Toronto, which will
be a site for one of four Internet of Everything Innovation Centers. The move
signals Cisco’s transition toward becoming a Services-led business, as Toronto
will be the North American hub for thought leadership and innovation,
facilitating adoption of Cisco technologies and Smart+Connected solutions.
• Fujitsu is combining alliances, joint ventures and niche applications to increase
its global sales and marketing reach. The company extended its Westcon
marketing agreement to cover the U.S. and Canada, whereby Westcon will sell
Fujitsu’s integrated data center solutions in the region. TBR believes this
approach will boost sales, but that larger acquisitions in the U.S. and Europe may
be necessary for significant market gains.
• Wipro’s chairman, Azim Premji, noted in 1Q13 that Wipro planned to hire locally
in Canada to pursue opportunities in the oil and gas industry. In 1Q14 the firm
highlighted Canada’s financial services vertical as a key growth area as declining
natural resource prices are pressuring banks to cut operational costs. Wipro
faces competition from top India-centric peers such as TCS and Cognizant, and
from up-and-coming players such as Tech Mahindra, which has a broader
delivery footprint in Canada and offers similar services.

TBR Assessment
Examples of vendors’ recent investments in sales:
Vendors such as Cisco, Unisys and Xerox
emphasize channel sales due to the
superior margins attributed to shared
sales and marketing costs as well as low
fixed costs. Capgemini’s culture change
to foster client relationships, coordinate
efforts globally, offer all dimensions of
the firm’s portfolio and leverage its
consulting business to generate sales will
help it catch up with competitors such as
Accenture and IBM, which, in TBR’s view,
have stronger relationships with clients.
•
Unisys expands channel-led sales to keep sales costs under control and expand
coverage of its addressable market. The company generates less than 5% of
total revenue from the reseller channel currently, and is partnered with over 60
value-added resellers (VARs). The latest announced channel partnerships, with
Hotelogix for the hospitality sector in Kuwait and with Capgemini to expand
cybersecurity sales, are indicative of solution areas Unisys will target in 2014.
• Xerox is attempting to emulate Cisco’s and HP’s channel programs by offering
enhanced training and incentives for its partners through a modified Global
Partner Program, which provides partners access to Xerox’s tools and expertise.
• Infosys’ sales strategy will continue to focus on increasing mindshare of end-toend services capabilities spanning clients’ operational, transformation and
innovation needs. Investments in its onshore sales force will enable the firm to
tout its IT transformational capabilities and help Infosys regain its status as a
premium professional services vendor during FY15. Infosys will seek to adopt a
more holistic selling approach by marketing its expertise in delivering highvalue, vertical-specific business solutions and developing a market-competitive
portfolio as the IT services market evolves.
• Capgemini’s Account Management Strategic Initiative (AMSI) helps the firm
accelerate and diversify its portfolio growth, improve the win rate on big deals,
generate more sole-sourcing deals and improve cost effectiveness of its
business development efforts. AMSI follows a “One Group” approach, which is
to sell the entire Capgemini portfolio and expand wallet share with clients, and
offer the Rightshore global delivery model.

Vendors continue reorganization efforts and hire industry-specific experts
to address growing demand in cloud and analytics
Trends and Strategy Changes
Hiring levels will continue to fluctuate across IT services
vendors. Vendors such as IBM, Xerox and CSC reduced or
stabilized headcount in 1H14, and the firms will shift hiring
focus to lower-cost labor pools in the latter half of 2014 in
addition to hiring people with industry-specific expertise and in
growth areas such as cloud and analytics.
• Vendors hire across the globe to diversify global revenues and
increase leverage of low-cost resources for service delivery.
Accenture will recruit in APAC, Africa and LATAM to support its
growth strategy, while Capgemini’s strategy is to increase its
India headcount from 37.3% of total headcount, or 50,000
employees, to 50% in the next three years.
•
Management Changes
Capgemini is grouping its APAC operations in one unit to expand
in the local market, and appointed Luc-François Salvador,
formerly the CEO of Sogeti, to chair of the new APAC entity.
• Fujitsu appointed Michael Keegan to lead its business in the U.K.
and Ireland, taking over for Duncan Tait, who was recently
promoted to head of EMEIA, CSVP, Fujitsu Ltd. In early 2014
Fujitsu announced a restructuring initiative to improve
operational efficiency and communication across divisions,
which led to nine top management resignations.
• Infosys’ C-level exits continued, with Senior VP Chandrashekar
Kakal, head of the Indian Business Unit, and Chief Compliance
Officer Nithyanandan Radhakrishnan resigning in April. In June
Infosys appointed Vishal Sikka, former CTO of SAP, as CEO and

Executive Summary: Future Outlook
TBR
Vendors are building out cloud, analytics and mobility portfolios and
expanding low-cost headcount to position for profitable growth
Key: Bubble = 1Q14 Vendor Position;
Arrow = 2Q14 Expected Vendor Position
According to TBR estimates, IT services’ average TTM revenue growth year-to-year will accelerate slightly from 1.1%
in 1Q14 to 1.3% in 2Q14. Demand in Europe and North America is gradually improving; however, clients’ hesitancy
to invest in transformational projects is hampering growth. IT services growth in 2014 will be driven by companies
focusing on incorporating vertical-specific solutions into their operations to boost performance and efficiency.
Vendors take advantage of the growing verticalization trend by adding vertical-specific consulting headcount as well
as acquiring and developing industry-specific IP. Vendors turn to small niche acquisitions to broaden portfolios,
develop unique capabilities and receive immediate revenue boosts; however, some acquisitions take time to
engineer, thus challenging revenue growth.

Segment Views: C&SI
TBR
India-centric firms are expanding consulting headcount in Europe and
the U.S. to capture high-value consulting-led engagements
Leaders
The positive impact of CGI more that doubling its C&SI revenue stream when it purchased Logica in 3Q12 continues to
project the company to the front of the pack with 48.2% year-to-year growth of TTM C&SI revenue.
• Infosys’ expanding sales forces in the U.S. and Europe will drive CS&I revenue growth. However, long-term sales success
depends on the firm’s ability to tout its services as a unified entity rather than separate subsidiaries. Consulting, package
implementation & systems integration (C&PI&SI) revenue growth decelerated to 7.3% year-to-year in 1Q14 from 12.6% and
27.6% year-to-year expansion in 4Q13 and 3Q13, respectively, due to reportedly muted discretionary spending from maturemarket clients. In 1Q14 Infosys won a large-scale engagement to implement an Oracle-based finance ERP transformation
platform for SITA, a global air transport IT services vendor, which we expect will fuel segment sales during FY1H15.
• EMC ended the quarter with a year-to-year TTM growth rate of 16.4%, which was led by the shift in software license orders
to subscription-based services within Pivotal. EMC is also realizing an increase in C&SI engagements driven by customer
adoption of cloud-related services realized in Pivotal implementation services.

Public sector spending declines and continued hesitancy by firms to spend
on transformational engagements weigh on laggards’ C&SI revenues
Laggards
•
•
CSC’s TTM C&SI revenue was down 12.6% year-to-year in 1Q14, as defense and civilian U.S. government agencies
continued to pull back on discretionary IT project spending. TBR expects CSC’s shift to a partner-oriented
consulting organization within its commercial operations will serve as a partial counterweight to expected
contraction of nonoperational federal IT spend in 2014.
Convergys aggressively reshaped its portfolio over the past two years to concentrate on its core customer
management business. In 1Q12 the firm sold its information management business, which Convergys generated
most of its C&SI revenues from, resulting in weaker C&SI capabilities and deteriorating C&SI revenues for 1Q14.
TBR believes that although Convergys is focused on scaling its customer management business, evidenced by its
acquisition of Stream Global, the recently acquired company will boost its exposure to C&SI, leading to a recovery
in C&SI revenue growth in 2Q14.

practice will help fuel service line growth as clients seek more datadriven strategy development.
Accenture: The firm uses its vertical expertise and will target C-Suite
executives by pairing the consulting expertise of the Accenture
Strategy Growth platform with the technology capabilities of the
recently formed Business Solution Group in collaboration with SAP.
Fujitsu: Increased IT services spend stemming from public sectors in
more mature markets in APAC enabled Fujitsu to drive solutions/SI
revenue growth year-to-year in local currency during 1Q14.
CGI: Adjusting for the impact of the Logica acquisition, CGI’s systems
integration projects in the U.S. and Europe expanded C&SI revenue
48.2% year-to-year in 1Q14 as public and private sector engagement
teams fielded additional demand.
TCS: Consulting growth was driven by advisory demand around
implementation and managed services, secure application
developments, and the adoption of cloud, analytics and social media.
Cognizant: Cognizant continues to invest in cloud, analytics and
mobility offerings to address growing demand for transformational IT
solutions, led by domain-specific consulting. TBR believes Cognizant

EMC’s ITO TTM year-to-year revenue growth of 41.8% was driven by the company’s converged infrastructure

as EMC Unified Infrastructure Manager for VCE Vblock Systems provide customers with life cycle management and
integrated compliance services.
Laggards
Pricing pressures in IT and telecommunications services coupled with strict profitability criteria for new business
and cancellation of unprofitable deals negatively impacted T-Systems’ ITO revenue growth. T-Systems continues to

Portfolio and Go-to-Market Changes
Capital investments, acquisitions and strategic

In addition to IBM’s announced $1.2 billion investment in
cloud data centers, the firm recently acquired Database as
a Service (DBaaS) provider Cloudant and SaaS vendor
Silverpop to enhance its cloud-based application offerings.
• Vendors are reorganizing portfolios around high-growth
managed service offerings such as cloud, specifically in
IaaS and in regions such as France and North America. CSC
will leverage its BizCloud and managed security services to
reduce pricing pressures in ITO. Vendors will also bundle
ITO with C&SI, AO and BPO offerings to differentiate from
peers as traditional ITO services progressively become
commoditized.

Trends and Outlook
Vendors will strengthen their positions by integrating new

Xerox: Xerox continued to dominate in BPO despite the runoff of its

acquisition of Invoco will help grow BPO in Europe in 1H14.
Accenture: Accenture will benefit from the acquisitions of Europebased ClientHouse and Evopro Group, which targeted capabilities in
cloud and embedded software and will transform labor-intensive
BPO to BPaaS offerings.
Capita: Capita continues to win new business by leveraging M&As
that add industry-specific BPO services. In 1Q14 Capita acquired U.K.based residential mortgage administration services vendor Crown
Mortgage Management, which we believe will expand Capita’s
offerings within the commercial sector’s financial services vertical.
Cognizant: Cognizant leverages Horizon 2 and large-scale, verticalspecific deals in BPO, generating approximately 20% of the firm’s
total sales through deals that package BPO with consulting, AO and
ITO. The firm also builds platform-based BusinessCloud solutions to
enrich its BPO offerings.
TCS: TCS supports nonlinear growth in BPO by leveraging partnerships
such as the one with Microsoft Business Solutions to expand
industry-specific, platform-based BPaaS offerings. New offerings from
the Digital Software and Solutions Group will augment its other
vertical solutions.
Infosys: Infosys will expand and leverage its portfolio of cloud-based
BPO platforms such as DigitizeEdge to support opportunities in highgrowth verticals and markets. Infosys’ deal with Orange Business

while laggards’ lack of low-cost resources hurt their competitiveness
Leaders
SAP Services will transition to a strategic advisory role to differentiate itself by focusing on providing outcomes to its
customers. Application development services will remain a core driver of the company’s AO revenue as it tailors
offerings to customers’ industry- or role-specific needs through codevelopment efforts. SAP leverages its CoInnovation Labs (COILs) to collaborate with partners on industry-specific solutions.
Laggards
BT remains challenged in the AO segment due to India-based competitors such as Wipro and HCLT, which have
flooded the European market, taking market share from Europe-based vendors such as Capgemini, T-Systems and
Atos. The India-based companies can provide low-cost solutions by comparison.

Leading AO vendors are ramping up alliances and developing cloud and
vertical-specific AO offerings to bolster their portfolios
Accenture: Competition within the application services market and
clients’ shifts toward multisourcing contracts have pressured pricing,
forcing Accenture to increase use of its Global Delivery Network. The
firm will continue to bundle AO with C&SI and ITO.
TCS: Applications consolidation and rationalization are driving
opportunities in AO. Development and management of mobile
applications will remain a main focus of TCS.
Infosys: Infosys will strengthen key partnerships with Microsoft, SAP
and Oracle to capture end-to-end applications engagements as clients
move enterprise workloads to cloud environments. Infosys was
employed to deploy Oracle Business Suite and integrate a Strategic
Financial Systems system for global technology airline company SITA,
enabling it to improve operational efficiency.
SAP: SAP Custom Development drives SAP’s AO revenue as the
company helps customers streamline the application development
process. SAP is interested in expanding in the financial services
industry, customizing SAP for Banking to meet banks’ specific needs
while providing seamless integration with existing SAP applications.
Cognizant: The firm benefits from clients seeking to reduce IT costs
and increase flexibility by outsourcing applications management. The
fastest BusinessCloud platform builds on Cognizant’s AO strengths by
providing clients with instant access to the firm’s testing resources.
Genpact: Through its strategy to concentrate on select verticals such
as banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), healthcare and
retail, Genpact leverages its institutional domain expertise to deliver
industry-focused application and database managed services to
accelerate AO growth.

TBR Insights
This contract is part of a larger deal awarded
to IBM in which TCS will provide application,
transformation and maintenance solutions
for Qantas. Over time the contract value will
be reduced, and 200 employees will be
transferred to IBM.
Atos will provide systems integration,
managed services, application hosting, and
application and production management.
IBM was selected by BP to provide
application management and integration
services for the firm’s global enterprise
systems as well as provide service desk
support for BP’s employees across the
Americas and Europe.
Accenture will provide application and
maintenance services for the client’s
noncore insurance applications such as
finance and accounting (F&A), CRM and
Web solutions that support Denmark and
Norway operations.
Infosys provides development and
management support services for the
client’s application infrastructure.
Application modernization will be a primary growth
driver in 2014 as demand continues to increase
from enterprises looking to migrate applications to
the cloud, to cut IT costs and allow for outsourcing
management for enterprise applications. TBR
anticipates cloud opportunities will help companies
broaden revenue streams in 2014 as firms
increasingly adopt SaaS applications, in turn
weakening demand for traditional AO services.
• Vendors such as Capgemini, Xerox, Fujitsu and
Wipro will win repeat business and augment value
by bundling ITO, BPO and C&SI with AO into end-toend solutions to generate revenues.
•
Trends and Outlook
Application consolidation and rationalization will
help drive revenue opportunities in AO.
• Vendors will seek partnerships to couple solutions
and services to provide clients end-to-end cloud
application solutions. Infosys will strengthen key
partnerships with Microsoft, SAP and Oracle to
capture end-to-end applications engagements as
clients move enterprise workloads to cloud
environments.

Americas revenue growth leaders leverage vertical-specific expertise to
win engagements in healthcare and financial services
Leaders

The U.S. healthcare and financial services
industries continue to generate opportunities
for Cognizant, though hesitant spending due
in part to recent regulatory shifts caused
North America year-to-year revenue growth
to decelerate compared to 4Q13 and 1Q13.
We believe Cognizant’s acquisition of Itaas,
Inc. will enable the firm to broaden its vertical
reach in the U.S. to the cable industry.
In North America, Genpact expands its
onshore sales and delivery presence and
targets underpenetrated verticals such as
capital markets and healthcare with solutions
that aid with regulatory compliance and
process transformation.
EXL has recently won a transformation project
that embeds analytics technology with a U.S.
bank. We expect EXL to continue to leverage
its industry-specific solutions to differentiate
in the marketplace, including successfully
deploying EXL Landa’s CareRadius medical
management suite for two leading BlueCross
BlueShield health plans.

revenue growth laggards
Laggards
•
•
•
CSC derives approximately one-third of its
revenue from its North American Public
Sector segment, making up roughly half of its
Americas business. CSC will continue to be a
laggard in Americas revenue through 2014
due to continued headwinds in the federal IT
sector.
TBR estimates HP Services experienced a
6.9% year-to-year revenue decline in the
Americas in 1Q14 despite winning large
deals with DMDC and the Colorado
Department of Health Care Policy and
Financing, and a high-profile win with the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security. We
believe HP’s embrace of OpenStack will aid
the company in rebounding within the
Americas to improve interoperability of what
were previously disparate customer
infrastructures.
IBM invests in niche IP-focused acquisitions
in the U.S. to bolster the company’s cloud
portfolio and entice legacy infrastructure
services clients to become cloud clients. The
firm recently acquired Massachusetts-based
DBaaS provider Cloudant and Atlanta-based
marketing automation vendor Silverpop.

IBM GS: IBM’s Americas performance will hinge on the firm’s success
in the cloud market space. It continues to bet big on its cloud
capabilities. In 1Q14 the firm announced plans to open cloud data
centers in Washington, D.C.; Toronto, Dallas and Mexico City, among
other global locations, as part of its SoftLayer expansion.
HP Services: HP’s growth in the healthcare industry will continue,
driven by demand for HP’s healthcare solutions. HP won a $116
million contract to support the implementation of a new Medicaid
management system for the Colorado Department of Health Care
Policy and Financing.
Accenture: TBR expects the firm will utilize the managed service
contract to improve HealthCare.gov as a lever to pursue payer and
provider opportunities in Canada, where patient demand for access
to electronic health records is on the rise.
Genpact: The acquisition of healthcare IT services firm Jawood in
1Q13 continued to boost Genpact’s TTM Americas revenue growth in
1Q14 as the company leverages cross-selling opportunities within its
expanded client base.
Cognizant: Cognizant continues to build onshore delivery resources in
the U.S. to drive Americas growth. Following the firm’s 4Q13
announcement of plans to hire 10,000 U.S. employees over the next
three years, Cognizant expanded its delivery center in Tampa, Fla., by
opening a new 500-seat facility in 1Q14.
TCS: TBR believes TCS’ recent onshore hiring efforts in the U.S. and
Canada to offset potential visa reform are generating higher-value,
longer-term signings opportunities, particularly in the BFSI and
healthcare verticals.

Actively shifting its revenue mix in Europe
on the heels of acquiring Europe-based
Logica provided CGI with a solid platform
to capture a lead position in growth and
revenue.
Like its India-centric peers, Cognizant
continues to target opportunities in
Europe, where clients are increasingly
open to outsourcing. Recent consulting
acquisitions position the firm well in
continental European countries such as
Germany and France, where language and
cultural customs have made onshore,
client-facing resources a prerequisite to
serving those regions.
WNS is benefiting from the South Africabased Fusion Outsourcing acquisition in
2Q12. The firm expands headcount in
South Africa to meet local market demand
and uses its locations in the country to
deliver global contracts. In the South
African market the firm is doing customer
service work, but identifies insurance as
an area of future opportunity.

Atos experienced growth challenges in EMEA in
1Q14, but this performance is in line with Atos’
expectations, and the growth pressures will likely
remain in 2Q14. However, TBR expects Atos’
growth to gradually recover in 2H14. Atos’
investments in higher-value services with an
emphasis on cloud, security and vertical
specialization, largely in C&SI but also starting in
ITO, will help the firm ramp up revenue growth
through 2016.
TBR estimates CSC’s business in Europe was
down 9.8% year-to-year on a TTM basis in 1Q14
as overall demand remains soft. Early signs of
expansion of IT services spending in Europe
toward the end of 1Q14 indicate an improving
market for CSC’s operations in the region in
2H14.
Aon Hewitt’s U.K. pension consulting and
administration business supports marginal EMEA
growth, but demand remains weak in continental
Europe. We believe the acquisition of U.K.-based
consultancy Lorica Employee Benefits in March
enhances Aon Hewitt’s HR consulting portfolio
and removes a local competitor in one of the
firm’s key markets.

Vendors in EMEA benefit from increasing client interest in outsourcing to
reduce costs and demand for IT modernization and cloud services
IBM GS: IBM GS drives revenue performance in Europe through largescale transformation and outsourcing deals as demand grows in the
region for cost reduction and transitioning to cloud and mobile IT
environments. The firm also seeks to diversify EMEA revenue over the
long term through “Project Lucy,” IBM’s 10-year, $100 million
innovation investment initiative in Africa.
Accenture: Demand for outsourcing services from budget-conscious
clients in central and northern Europe supported regional sales. The
firm won a five-year ADM services contract with insurance vendor
Tryg and a BPO services agreement with energy firm Statoil.
T-Systems: The firm transforms its portfolio to support digital
innovation, but offerings such as cloud are small in revenue share and
will not offset revenue declines in the firm’s core Information and
Communications Technology business.
CGI: The company’s TTM revenue growth in EMEA is a result of
integrating U.K.-based Logica, which enhanced the firm’s capabilities,
footprint and revenue in Europe. Demand for CGI’s SI and
modernization services remained healthy in 1Q14, leading TBR to
expect further expansion for the company in the region.
Cognizant: Cognizant continues to target opportunities in Europe,
where clients are opening up to outsourcing. Recent consulting
acquisitions position the firm well in Germany and France, where
language and cultural customs have made onshore, client-facing
resources a prerequisite to serving those regions.
Convergys: The acquisition of peer Stream Global in January
expanded the firm’s capabilities in Europe. Rising European
outsourcing spending and the Stream Global acquisition contributed
to the firm’s 25.1% year-to-year TTM revenue growth in 1Q14.

Convergys accelerated its APAC revenue

aggressive M&A strategy, evidenced by its
acquisition of Datacom’s Philippines and
Malaysian operations in 2Q13 as well as its
purchase of Stream Global in 1Q14. We
believe Convergys will continue to expand
its headcount and operations in the region,
leading to further growth in 2Q14.
WNS made improvements to its sales team
structure by expanding the team across
geographies, including APAC, and verticals,
strengthening industry-specific expertise.
This structure better positions WNS to win
business in geographies where the firm
was previously underpenetrating the
market.
Capgemini’s emphasis on strengthening its
leadership outside Europe will help
diversify its global revenue. Salvador,
formerly the CEO of Sogeti, became head
of Capgemini in APAC and will group the
company’s operations in the region into
one unit to facilitate local market
expansion.

LTE deployments in China offers
deployment and integration
opportunities for the vendor.
TBR sees an opportunity for SAP to
return to growth in CY14 by capitalizing
on newer partnerships, including its
work with China Telecom, to galvanize
revenue growth in high-opportunity

Weak demand in Japan resulted in SAP’s

Fujitsu: Outside of its core geography in Japan, Fujitsu uses its
virtualization and transformational data center services to win favor
in emerging economies. The company pursues business in Australia
and New Zealand in 2Q14 to diversify its existing APAC client base.
IBM GS: IBM will continue to invest in its service delivery capabilities
in APAC, evidenced by its new delivery center in Malaysia. IBM looks
to capture multiyear deals in growth markets that are centered on
cloud-centric IT modernization. Deals won in 1Q14 indicate traction
in India for run-the-business and change-the-business projects.
HP Services: The company expands in APAC, targeting Australia as a
strategic pivot point to serving the region. In April HP opened a
130,000-square-foot Security Operations Center in Sydney, which will
join HP’s U.S. and U.K. security centers. The investment in Australia
follows HP’s partnership with the state of South Australia in February
and helps support its desired growth in APAC.
WNS: WNS relies on its service delivery capabilities in the Philippines,
Sri Lanka and India to meet outsourcing demand from clients with an
APAC presence. WNS has invested in centers in special economic
zones in India, enabling the firm to improve its delivery capabilities.
Convergys: The firm is scaling its APAC operations through M&A,
evidenced by its acquisition of Datacom’s Malaysian and Philippines
operations as well as its purchase of Stream Global in 1Q14.
Convergys invests in APAC business to expand its presence in the
region and capture demand for customer management outsourcing.
Cognizant: Cognizant’s APAC revenue expansion was led by increasing
demand for large-scale outsourcing engagements supporting IT
modernization, including the firm’s recent application development
deal with Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore.

•
Convergys expanded its headcount 64.5% year-to-year in 1Q14 due to its acquisition of Stream Global, which added more
than 42,000 employees to its operations, and the acquisition of Datacom’s Malaysian and Philippines locations, which added
1,000 employees. TBR believes Convergys will continue to expand its headcount in 2Q14 as it scales its operations as part of
its ambition to become the leading customer management services provider globally.
•
Capita continued to add resources through inorganic investments. The firm has added roughly 1,000 people since January,
expanding its capabilities in fields such as IT security, residential mortgage services and legal services, and verticals such as
transportation. We expect Capita will continue to scout for strategic fit discounted opportunities throughout the U.K.,
further expanding its resource base. In addition, the firm will pursue organic investments to strengthen its capabilities in IT
managed services, as the recently launched CMITS entity announced plans to hire 400 professionals in Northern Ireland.
