Demand slowdown

idea posted by Satish Pandey Sr. Associate, IL&FS Venture Corporation
The Indian IT vendors have been facing challenging times as a result of uncertainty in the US and Europe for well over a year now. Mortgage companies like Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and now AIG getting nationalized is bad news for the Indian IT companies as the outsourcing could be reduced due to political interests.

 I have some facts to back my point. Six months after Bear Sterns went under and was acquired by JP Morgan, the latest series of events in the US financial sector would further slow down the demand for IT services. Expect the $1-1.5 billion that Lehman Brothers typically spends on its IT networks annually, to be cut by at least half as its bidder, Barclays, tries to rationalize and reduce overlaps.

Competition to increase

idea posted by Santosh Bhosle Associate, IFCI
IT companies maintain that they aren't really feeling the pricing pressure yet. There have been sporadic cases where the client has come back to us, to renegotiate the prices. But, on the whole, the pricing discipline is intact. But, I believe that sales cycles are bound to get longer and it is a matter of time, before the companies feel the pricing pinch too.

Time to get leaner

idea posted by Venkatachalam C V Sr. Associate, JP MorganChase
I believe there will be major strategic changes on the operational front, the companies will try to protect their margins by condensing their hiring plans and increasing the utilization rate (currently ranging between 70-75 per cent), hiring fewer laterals (individuals with work experience), moderating the growth in wages in the range of 8-12 per cent and keeping a check on their selling, general and administration (SG&A) expenses.
