Why on its Own?
• To develop its own brand
– Subcontract could dilute it
– Joint ventures have limited life & Validity
• Overlap of activities & Conflict of interests
• To leverage the Global Delivery Model (GDM)
– Causing further disruption to consulting
–
New model can not be setup through acquisition• Transform Culture & Build Brand as global
transformation enabler

Objective: Seamless Integration
• Mirror ITL (industry-wise organized)
• Coordination driven by metrics
– Each BU has specific goal for ICI
– ICI has specific revenue goals for ITL
• Collaboration driven by “One Infy” culture
– Incentives & rewards, cross-business training, cultural integration, Forum
– One company to customer
• Evolution - Constant redefinition and learning
• Adapt ITL sales process to include ICI services
• Fork in the road: Ownership & Accountability
– Job allocation: Transformation (ICI) & Technology (ICT)
• Performance management of ICI by Sr. Executives of ICT

Challenges: Seamless Integration
• Business Integration
Where to draw line between business and technology consulting?
How to utilize common sales force?
• Culture Integration ICI formed by a team of outsiders
Different people: Foreigners in ICI vs Indians in ICT
• Single view to customer Mechanism for revenue sharing on same account
Who would be the key contact - ITL or ICI?
• 1-1-3 model and its efficiency Can it be leveraged everywhere?

Infy’s Competitors Are Strong
• Infy’s strategy includes
– Integration of management & IT consulting
– Increase in cross-selling
– Cost-effectiveness
• Should IBM and Accenture feel threatened by ICI?
– Already have integrated services
– ICI is small player in consulting• Is it a big concern as of now?
– It takes long to establish in business consulting
• Should they also go for low cost model?

GDM can not be extended
• Business consulting is expertise oriented
– GDM works well for procedural and experiential
activities. IT has been commoditized.
• Business consulting is people oriented
– Face to face interaction has more importance
– 3-3-1 model may be needed, not 1-1-3!
• Business consulting is thinking oriented
– Gaps of silence needed. 24 hours continuity may
not add any significant value.

How Can Competitors Respond?
• Increase the value proposition higher
– Decrease buyer power and increase competition
• Integrate management and IT consulting further
– Remove complexities in integration
– Same impact as above
• Need not try to replicate 1-1-3 model everywhere
– GDM good for low end IT Consulting
– May not work for critical high end business consulting

What Should ICI do post 2006?
• Expand global reach (revenue, market share) – Financial support is available
• Deliver higher Value and Communicate –
Look beyond GDM• Get the best talent
• Integrate ICI and ITL and have better interface
• Build the brand – Not many know ICI in business consulting
– Infosys is still known as an IT services company
