India's IT industry has arrived on the
world stage. You know that well by now. Now, here's a stunner of a
revelation. The world's biggest IT firm, the $81.5-billion IBM, has
identified Bangalore-based Wipro Technologies as one of its biggest global
competitors in a space where it matters the most and where it sees the
highest revenue maximisation potential.
(Can Indian IT companies surpass established global ones?)
What's more, IBM has identified Wipro as
the only non-American challenger in its planned long march to superstardom as
a total solutions power house following its acquisition of consultancy major
PwC Consulting last year. Wipro's listing comes alongside global service
sector giants Accenture, GE and UPS.
Wipro figures in IBM's corporate war map a
notch above several of the world's best-known IT nameplates. IBM has divided
its areas of expertise in a three-tier corporate blue-print comprising
component value, infrastructure value and business value propositions. In
each of those spaces it's also identified competitors against whom it wants
to provide 'best-of-breed' offerings to customers.
