    Infosys Consulting (thereafter IC) is a new, fast-growing consulting firm under parent company Infosys Technology Limited (thereafter ITL) base in India. Infosys Consulting has 700 consultants by 2011 and they provide consulting services worldwide with a focus on entrepreneur technologies. Infosys has two valuable business models: Value Realization Method (VRM) and Global Delivery Model (GDM). These two models have been IC’s key differentiators during the recent few years. GDM is an older method used by IC. IC is the first among the consulting industry who started to practice such model. Each consulting project is staffed with 1 IC-based consultant, 1 ITL-based technical employee and 3 IT employees. This helps to bring together both strategies and technologies. However, managing director Raj discovered that GDM could be further developed to a better model. Then comes to the valuable VRM.…

    Infosys Case Analysis

    • 1035 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Infosys should consider expanding its operation into other foreign markets and industries. As indicated in the article, Infosys gets over 70% of its revenue from the United States and the majority of its big clients (such as Goldman Sachs, Visa or JC Penny) come from various industries but all of them are very sensitive to changes in the US economy. In order for Infosys to not only maintain but also increase their sales growth in spite of the referenced economic downturn, Infosys has to expand its global account management system along with restructuring its strategic account management. First and foremost Infosys should build a reliable network of foreign intermediaries in Asia and Europe where management plans to expand its operation. These independent organizations already operating in these countries are familiar with their culture, way of doing business and arising needs. Research should also be conducted to determine what other industries can be targeted. For instance, in the United States cyclical businesses such as finance and retail could be offset by countercyclical industries like the medical industry. Hospitals and pharmacies are much less likely to experience a rapid sales decline due to recession therefore their vendor’s sales would not be affected as much as in a declining economy either. In addition to that the company should try to introduce a hybrid between its strategic business units that were organized primarily based on its functions such as marketing or delivery services and its current practice organized by geography. I believe that the company’s sales would increase significantly if the company still kept it’s practices responsible for operations in different areas of the globe but also created subdivisions that would be responsible for selling specific line of products to a specific industry. For instance there should be a practice unit responsible for sales in Germany that could be…
