Analysts from Boston Consulting Group and
Technology Partners International (TPI) do a SWOT on Infosys and here's what
they think.
Boston Consulting Group(BCG):
Â
STRENGTHS
They managed to grow from $150 million to $400
million in revenues. This is a tougher milestone than the $1 billion one
They are very focused on creating a culture
and processes, which have become differentiators for the company today
 WEAKNESSESÂ
Not doing well enough when it comes to
innovation beyond process IP
 OPPORTUNITIES
Should get into more service lines and
big-ticket deals, R&D and engineering services play and should increase
their geographical reach
 THREATS
Global majors are becoming quite big
They should not ignore or underestimate the
creativeness and capabilities of MNC competitors
Technology
Partners International
 STRENGTHS
 ·       Â
Excellent project and services execution
·       Â
Excellent internal processes
 WEAKNESSESÂ
Reliance on less experienced talent pool for
lower costs and therefore better financial results. This precludes certain
types of work
Over reliance on India as delivery geography,
has not diversified delivery capability to other offshore locations
OPPORTUNITY
- Extend delivery and process strengths to other
global locations apart from India
Massive demand for additional work in all
areas of services spectrum with many existing contracts now coming up for
renewal - approx $100 billion in next few years. Infosys can get a chunk of
this if they are willing to take on additional delivery risk and become a
true global player
THREATS
Extremely high expectations from their
investor community for growth and profitability. Will be difficult to manage
this as competition begins to undercut their pricing
MNCs have come of age in India and other
offshore destinations. They can and do compete with Infosys from a level
playing field
