Good rock solid business plan for Indian offshore trying to make a presence in USA organically. Many of the same cliche' statements that my other slide shows have but centered/focused on market capture with in the offshore model.
2. 1. Company Description & Mission
• World leading outsourcing services partner, 150 clients
• 50,000 employees in 50+ locations
• Focusing on tailor made solutions
• Serving eight (8) major verticals
• Seven distinctive and successful business units
• Leader in Customer Lifecycle Management
• Six Sigma & COPC quality standards
• Effective & efficient processes thru innovation
• 20+ yrs of deep domain experience
3. 2. Current State of Business
• Technology Service Provider Now
• Small market share
• Mundane and “vanilla” engagements
• “They do it, we do it to” mentality
• No market visible domain expertise
• Small fish in a big pond
• $5-10M engagements aren’t there
4. 3. Future State of Business
• Leave “technology” behind for commodity brokers
• Use the “small market share” aspect to your ADVANTAGE
• Allow “mundane & vanilla” engagements to pay the bills
• Move up two rungs on the ladder and be the “trusted advisor”
• Start to push Aegis’ VERTICAL DOMAIN EXPERTISE first
• TCS, Mahindra, etc all started at $0.00
• Big $$$ deals don’t come everyday or easily
5. 3. Future State of Business - Detail
• Leave “technology” behind for commodity SI’s
• Job shop environment & mentality is not where
exponential growth is, short or near term
• Train, develop and deploy “smart” people to
suspects/prospects who differentiate themselves
and Aegis from other job-shop firms
• Bid and win only deals GOOD FOR AEGIS
• Back end hardwiring/programming can fuel the ship
until domain expertise is fully accepted in
marketplace
6. 3. Future State of Business - Detail
• Turn “small market share” into an advantage
• Utilize “enlightened minds” tactical approach
• Push into $500M-$1B space quickly
• “Buy some deals” to prime the well
• Slowly come to a boil
• Lean on software companies but do not
DEPEND on them
7. 3. Future State of Business - Detail
• Keep bidding on and winning “boring” deals
• Key punching & data sorting will keep the
ship afloat while we are making our mark
• Use on-site consultants to “sniff out” bigger
projects at that firm
• More references for any work = more cache
in market and more tools for sales to use
8. 3. Future State of Business - Detail
• Get to “trusted advisor” status quickly
• Aggressively/quickly associate with two (2)
verticals, develop and execute on a
sales/marketing strategy & close deals
• Don’t end your executive canoe ride with the CIO.
Trusted advisors LIVE in the boardroom
• Leverage outside resources when
needed, sometimes you just aren’t the retired
Boeing 777 pilot you need to close $25M at SaaB
Air.
9. 3. Future State of Business - Detail
Vertical Domain Expertise Essential
• “Everything for everyone” is old & tired
• 2012 IT execs smart and savvy compared to 2001.
No more secrets. Pick a space, develop
expertise, exploit it and move on.
• TCS and others do NOT have a command over their
human resource commodities domain expertise's.
Few and far between, no consistency.
• Relationships with executives will develop quicker
and become stronger with domain experts vs key
punchers.
10. 3. Future State of Business - Detail
• $0 to $250M? Why not? Let’s go.
• NEVER think small.
• TCS, etc all started at $0.00 at some point.
• All SI’s fail. Often. Start to exploit other SI’s
failures or mis-steps in the marketplace.
• Be a leader, even though you may not be.
Perception is everything. Engage frequently
and aggressively.
• Let the competition take a bullet. Sometimes
the best deal is the one you pass on.
11. 3. Future State of Business - Details
• Where are the big deals?
• Leverage & socialize the $250-500K engagements
for future work
• Get cozy with leading software firms
• Stay off RFP’s & RFI’s for the most part
• Access sales resources rolodexes
• Build customer references and pass them along to
suspects/prospects

15. Summary
• Three Key Points

remembered, not how fast our resources coded
• Vertical domain expertise will differentiate Aegis
and allow for quick market entrance and
acceptance
