System integration is a proximity job. The last mile of a software delivery.
With no physical access to their top market (H1B reform), it will continue to be tough. Capgemini, which has about the same headcount, will end with 30% more revenue than Infosys in 2017. Accenture, x3.4 the revenue for only x2 the headcount.
With limited access to market with better hourly rates, they would continue to struggle. Unless they bet on more vertical market, selling licenses of software they own or have shares in, which is exactly their current strategies. It may work.
- fellellor 9y agoThose are entirely different business models - services vs products. Companies aren't always successful in making such transitions.
- user5994461 9y agoInfosys, capgemini and accenture are all service companies, re selling employees by the hour. They don't develop their own products.
- kamaal 9y agoInfosys has a good product offering. And generally spins of its successful products into separate companies. They also have a fairly successful banking product called Finacle. Tata by the way also has a lot of product work going on. Wipro too. Many services firms also do pretty high tech work by the way. Even things like Chip design. Just because they don't blog and tweet about it, or talk about it in conferences doesn't mean they don't do good work.

- akhatri_aus 9y agoYou're missing the point though, the point s/he's trying to make is Capgemini doesn't undervalue the price of labour.
