IT Services and Consulting Aim to Succeed in the Next Era of India’s Economic Growth

While management consultancies and IT services companies have long provided their global clients with India-based resources, a surge of growth in the country’s economy over the last couple of years is causing them to shift their strategy to provide new consulting and IT services to their India-based clients.

 

The Big Four — Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC — are betting on India becoming the home of their fourth, or possibly even third, largest member firms. However, India-based IT services behemoths like Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services believe their entrenched market presence and strengths afford them an advantage among local clients for IT services.

 

In this TBR Insighs Live session, Principal Analyst Patrick M. Heffernan, Senior Analyst Kelly Lesiczka and Research Analyst Jill Cookingham discuss expectations for the next era of India’s economic growth. The team looks at whether local IT services vendors can really capture those opportunities from the Big Four and which vendors our research shows will lead the market overall.
 

 

In The Above TBR Insights Live Session on Consulting and IT Services in India You’ll Learn:

• The strategies, investments and internal activities global management consultancies and global systems integrators have leveraged to address the local Indian market
• The market minefields and systemic challenges that may slow growth in consulting and IT services
• The consultancies and IT services companies TBR believes will lead and lag in the market

Making Data-driven Decisions in Sell-with, Build-with Alliance Partnerships

More enterprise IT spend is being driven by and through ecosystem partnerships than ever before, and spend is only forecasted to grow over the coming years. How do global systems integrators (GSIs), channel partners, hyperscalers, independent software vendors (ISVs), managed service providers (MSPs) and OEMs maximize limited resources to staff, market and manage vital go-to-market partnerships across their ecosystems?

 

In this TBR Insights Live session, TBR principal analysts Patrick Heffernan and Allan Krans give viewers an exclusive look at how TBR’s revenue, headcount and investment data can guide your firm’s quarterly management of alliance strategy. Additionally, our experts discuss critical intelligence on annual performance, trends and opportunities for all sides of these multivendor partnerships, which are responsible for more than 50% of global enterprise spend.
 

In the above TBR Insights Live replay on strategic alliance management you’ll learn:

• How both services revenue and industry-vertical revenue can guide your firm’s alliance strategy
• How quarterly ITO revenue can help your firm benchmark partner teams for QBRs with validated and independent data

What Does the Waning Bull Market Mean for Federal IT Services Contractors?

Aggressive investment by federal agencies to modernize and secure monolithic IT infrastructures, particularly healthcare-related IT systems, and digitize defense networks has resulted in an expanding federal IT market. In federal fiscal year (FFY) 2020, FFY21, FFY22 and FFY23 the market experienced unprecedented growth, at 8.1%, 8.5%, 7.9% and 8.5% year-to-year, respectively, on a weighted average basis.
 
Additionally, TBR is currently tracking federal IT annual revenue growth of 6% to 8% to between $68 billion and $69 billion in total market value by the end of FFY24 (ending Sept. 30, 2024). (Data based on total federal IT revenue earned by the 11 federal systems integrators tracked in TBR’s Federal IT Services Benchmark.)
 
Looking toward FFY25, the Biden administration is seeking the smallest increase in federal civilian technology spend in many years, while the Department of Defense’s FFY25 request for IT and cyberspace activities is down from FFY24.
 
As was the case in 2020, election-related disruptions could undermine the ongoing boom in the civilian IT market, at least temporarily. IT leaders in agencies are under increasing pressure to demonstrate how effectively they have invested the IT budget windfall they have enjoyed since FFY20. Even with slowing budget growth, tech priorities remain unchanged, with citizen-facing agencies investing heavily in AI and other technologies to optimize citizen experience and engagement.
 
In the below TBR Insights Live video, Federal IT Services Senior Analyst John Caucis, Principal Analyst & IT Services Practice Manager Patrick Heffernan, and Federal IT Services Analyst James Wichert deep dive into the current state of the federal IT market and expectations for the future, including sharing key findings from TBR’s most recent Federal IT Services Benchmark.
 
The team will highlight top trends in civilian, defense and intelligence sectors and detail the newest alliances, acquisitions and solutions introduced. Additionally, they’ll look at how TBR-tracked federal systems integrators are positioning for Federal FY2025.

TBR’s Federal IT Services Benchmark focuses almost exclusively on the U.S. federal It market. This research provides growth data and analysis specific to the federal defense and federal civilian sectors. Some of the vendors we track have operations in public sector markets outside the U.S. federal government sector.
 
Additionally, we detail some additional developments and/or market trends in other public sector markets in the appendix, but our principal research and analytic focus remains the U.S. federal IT sector.
