Infosys BPO, the business process outsourcing arm of software major, Infosys Technologies, is targetting three large deals in the range of $50-150 million (around Rs 200-600 crore). |
The company is already executing 2 smaller-sized deals within the IT-BPO field, in the range of $5 million to $7 million. |
|
"We are looking to sign three deals in the range of $50-150 million in the next three to six months," said Amitabh Chaudhry, CEO and managing director, Infosys BPO. |
|
The company will be focusing on larger integrated information technology (IT)-BPO deals in the future. |
|
Infosys BPO will reach out to clients by providing end-to-end solutions. "The deals will be spread across service verticals such as telecom, banking, capital markets and manufacturing. We will also focus on platform-based solutions as these would allow us to offer a better deal," said Chaudhry. |
|
The company already has platform-based solutions such as procure-to-pay, lure-to-retire, order-to-cash as well as auto management. |
|
The unit is also bullish on better earnings despite the appreciating rupee, on account of higher prices for renewed contracts. "We have increased the pricing in the renewed contracts by 15 to 25 per cent," said Chaudhry. |
|
While predicting that the dollar might touch the Rs 35 mark in the next 15 to 18 months, Chaudhry explained that they could also change the billing currency from dollars, which comprises about 55 per cent of the billing, to other currencies. |
|
"To maintain our profitability levels around 22 per cent, we will look to contain costs and add value," he added. |
