From the Editor’s desk



It appears we have seen off the worst of the recession and what that means for the outsourcing industry is that service providers are back in business, making their plans to gear up for the future. Who better to hear from than IBM Global Services on what changes they are seeing, how the Global Delivery Model is shaping up and how IBM is augmenting its delivery footprint. In this issue’s “Spotlight,” we have Koushik Radhakrishnan, Director, IBM Global Services, share his views on this topic, as well as give us a sneak preview into his new role as Head of Industrial Sector, GDC, China.

Talking of trends, going ‘green’ seems to have become the mantra of companies across the spectrum. A company that noticed this and decided to build a business out of it is GQuotient. We have Madhavan, Co-Founder, GQuotient, in “Focal Point” talking to the Confluence editorial team on his company’s vision and plans.

While on the subject of vision, Aegis Communications has demonstrated how clarity of purpose backed by flawless execution can help a company stand out from the rest. In this edition’s “Best & the Rest,” we feature Aegis’ journey to become a half a billion dollar company by adopting a carefully crafted acquisition-led growth strategy.
