India's largest software company is readying reusable software platforms, which can be customised, for areas such as telecommunication, financial services<\/a> and data analytics, Chandrasekaran said in an interview.
\n
\n\"There are multiple things we are trying and everything we are not announcing because we have to try (it out) first. It's not just an intellectual capability to create a platform, it is market readiness as well,\" he said on Friday, a day after the company announced that its third-quarter revenue grew by 3%, slightly below analysts' expectations. TCS already has software platforms in human resources, finance, analytics and procurement.
\n
\nThe company, which has been setting the pace for India's software sector, has said it will grow faster than the 12-14% projection for the industry. With expected fiscal 2014 revenue of over $12 billion ( 75,000 crore), TCS is about one-third larger than its nearest Indian competitor Infosys.
\n
\nInformation technology companies are turning to software platforms that can be tailored to suit customers' needs as a way of improving revenue productivity. But building these platforms requires significant initial investment and success is not guaranteed.
\n
\nChandrasekaran, 50, was of the view that companies will not want to move their core processes to platforms, but non-core processes will do so. \"There may be a stage where core processes will find a different model but that is a long way away.\"
\n
\niON, a TCS initiative to offer no-frills tech solutions to small businesses in a pay-as-you-go model, is being considered for a global launch, he said.The company is debating whether to take it first to emerging markets or developed markets, as well the manner in which it will be sold. \"We are not going the whole hog; we will start with targeting one or two companies. We will go to specific countries,\" he said.
\n
By far and away the market leader in India, TCS is starting to draw comparisons with its global rivals, particularly Accenture<\/a>. In a report last year, JPMorgan drew attention to the incremental revenue added by Accenture<\/a> and TCS, pointing out that the latter was growing at a much faster pace. Although at $28.6 billion, Accenture is more than twice the size of TCS, it added only some $700 million in revenue in fiscal 2013 which ended in August. The Indian company ended fiscal 2013 in March with incremental revenue of more than $1.4 billion.
\n
\nChandrasekaran, however, declined to be drawn into comparisons. \"I wouldn't want to comment on it. I think I would rather be focused on what we need to do.\"
\n
\nOn the ongoing debate in the US about changes to that country’s immigration system, he said it is unlikely to have a debilitating impact.

Indian software firms individually as well as their grouping Nasscom<\/a> have stepped up interactions with US. “I don’t think there is a situation that will come which is a complete risk to the business model, because if that is the case, it will also affect customers.”<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":29089679,"title":"Tata Communications sees healthcare as emerging vertical for data services","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/tata-communications-sees-healthcare-as-emerging-vertical-for-data-services\/29089679","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":false}],"related_content":[],"msid":29090100,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"TCS plans reusable software platforms to focus on telecom, data analytics","synopsis":"IT companies are turning to software platforms that can be tailored to suit customers' needs as a way of improving revenue productivity.","titleseo":"tcs-plans-reusable-software-platforms-to-focus-on-telecom-data-analytics","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Jochelle Mendonca","author_link":"\/author\/479231167\/jochelle-mendonca","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479231167.cms?width=100&height=100&hostid=268","author_additional":{"thumbsize":true,"msid":479231167,"author_name":"Jochelle Mendonca","author_seo_name":"jochelle-mendonca","designation":"Assistant Editor - Enterprise IT","agency":false}},{"author_name":"Karthik Subbaraman","author_link":"\/author\/479189504\/karthik-subbaraman","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479189504.cms?width=100&height=100&hostid=268","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":479189504,"author_name":"Karthik Subbaraman","author_seo_name":"karthik-subbaraman","designation":"Editor","agency":false}},{"author_name":"Bodhisatva Ganguli","author_link":"\/author\/1964\/bodhisatva-ganguli","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/1964.cms?width=100&height=100&hostid=268","author_additional":{"thumbsize":false,"msid":1964,"author_name":"Bodhisatva Ganguli","author_seo_name":"bodhisatva-ganguli","designation":"Editor","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2014-01-20 08:48:45","lastupd":"2014-01-20 08:50:31","breadcrumbTags":["Accenture","Nasscom","Tata Consultancy Services","Earnings Guidance","Financial Services","Enterprise Services"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"tcs-plans-reusable-software-platforms-to-focus-on-telecom-data-analytics"}}" data-authors="[" jochelle mendonca","karthik subbaraman","bodhisatva ganguli"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2014-01-20" data-index="article_1">
TCS计划可重用软件平台专注于电信、数据分析
IT公司转向软件平台,它可以被定制以适应客户需求的提高收入的生产力。
孟买:塔塔咨询服务公司目标是推出几可重用软件作为努力的一部分,适应不断变化的业务和技术环境,首席执行官和董事总经理Natarajan Chandrasekaran说。
印度最大的软件公司是准备可重用的软件平台,可以定制,电信等领域,金融服务和数据分析,Chandrasekaran在接受采访时表示。
“有很多事情我们正在和一切我们不宣布,因为我们必须先尝试(出来)。不仅仅是一个知识分子的能力来创建一个平台,这是市场准备,”他说,上周五,一天,此前该公司宣布其第三季度收入增长3%,略低于分析师的预期。TCS已经软件平台在人力资源、金融,分析和采购。
该公司已经对印度软件行业树立了榜样,已表示将比预计的12 - 14%增长速度。与预计2014财年营收超过120亿美元(75000卢比),TCS三分之一比它最近的印度的竞争对手印孚瑟斯。
信息技术公司转向软件平台,它可以被定制以适应客户需求的提高收入的生产力。但这些平台建设需要大量的初始投资和成功是没有保证的。
Chandrasekaran 50岁,认为公司不愿意将他们的核心流程平台,但非核心流程会这样做。“可能会有一个阶段的核心过程会发现一个不同的模式,但还有很长的路要走。”
离子,TCS主动向小企业提供廉价的技术解决方案在现收现付模式,被认为是全球发射,他说。公司正在讨论是否要它首先,新兴市场和发达市场的方式,它将被出售。“我们不会全部地;我们将开始针对一个或两个公司。我们将去特定国家,”他说。
到目前为止,印度的市场领导者,TCS开始画比较其全球竞争对手,尤其是埃森哲咨询公司。在去年的一份报告中,摩根大通关注增量收入增加埃森哲咨询公司TCS,指出后者以更快的速度增长。尽管在286亿美元,埃森哲是TCS大小的两倍以上,它只提供了约7亿美元的收入在2013财年8月结束。印度公司2013财年结束3月增量收入超过14亿美元。
然而,Chandrasekaran拒绝卷入比较。“我不想评论。我想我宁愿专注于我们需要做的。”
在争论我们改变这个国家的移民系统,他说,不太可能很坏的影响。
印度软件公司以及他们单独分组行业协会加大了与我们互动。“我不认为有一个情况,将会是一个完整的商业模式风险,因为如果是这样的话,它也会影响顾客。”
