TCS, Infosys trail Accenture, global rivals in race for AI-project bookings

Indian IT services companies Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys are lagging behind global peers such as Accenture and IBM in the number of artificial intelligence (AI)-related projects, according to US research firm Information Services Group (ISG). TCS had 300 AI projects and Infosys had 200, whereas Accenture had 2,250 and IBM had 1,000. Analysts attribute the gap to the foreign companies' earlier start in AI client engagement and a more aggressive approach in marketing their projects. However, it is important to note that the data only includes five pure-play IT services companies, with only two being Indian.

Accenture’s Gen AI bets pay off with $3 bn in bookings | Mint

Accenture, the world's largest software services company, has recorded $1 billion in generative AI (Gen AI) bookings in the quarter ended August.

Gen AI projects accounted for 4% of Accenture's total order bookings for the year. However, analysts note that widespread real-time adoption of Gen AI technology is still a challenge. Accenture remains cautious about the outlook due to ongoing economic headwinds.

As TCS loses shine, investors place hopes on Infosys, HCLTech

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is losing investor confidence, with its shares declining over 20% this year due to weaker revenue growth and fewer large deals compared to rivals Infosys and HCL Technologies. While TCS trades at a lower price-to-earnings ratio, raising concerns about its competitive edge, investors are shifting their focus to Infosys and HCLTech, the second and third-largest IT services firms in India, which are displaying more favorable growth prospects.

AI is one of 2023's hottest topics — but it's still a tiny part of most businesses, Accenture data show

According to data from Accenture, generative AI is gaining attention but remains a small part of most businesses. Despite all the talk about its potential to boost productivity and save time, bookings for generative AI-related projects only accounted for $300 million of Accenture's $72 billion new bookings in the past six months. This could be due to concerns about data protection and a lack of expertise within organizations. However, Accenture expects AI to become a significant part of their business in the next three to five years.

Why tech workers are earning less for their employers

The revenue contributed by each employee in top IT services companies such as TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL Technologies, Accenture, and Cognizant has been steadily declining since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in offshoring and preference for the offshoring model by clients has led to lower billing per employee and subsequently reduced revenue. HCL Tech witnessed the highest Revenue Per Employee (RPE) at $58,532 but also saw the steepest drop of 12.5%. Infosys, on the other hand, reported a 3% increase in RPE. The impact of offshoring has also affected foreign companies like Accenture, which experienced a 3% decline in RPE between FY19 and FY23. Profitability per employee has also decreased for most companies except for Accenture. Wipro experienced the largest drop in profitability per employee due to lower margins after the acquisition of Capco. The depreciation of the Indian rupee against the US dollar did not aid profitability either.

Lessons for Indian IT services firms as Accenture, IBM lead GenAI charge

IBM is experiencing a turnaround as it gains more clients for its generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) services. The company's GenAI bookings stood at over $2 billion as of July, while Accenture reported $3 billion in GenAI bookings for the period 2023-24. The growth in consulting business has contributed to the success of both IBM and Accenture, which outpaces Indian IT services companies. Indian IT firms have not reported revenue from consulting or AI practices and have faced challenges with lower client spending on IT services. GenAI revenues are expected to flow from consulting before expanding to other IT segments.

In slow December quarter, TCS beats Infosys

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has outperformed Infosys in the December quarter as its revenue rose by 1% sequentially, beating profit estimates. A significant portion of TCS's growth was driven by a large contract with BSNL. However, both TCS and Infosys are at risk of registering their slowest annual growth due to the global economic slowdown. Additionally, the combined workforce of both companies declined by 11,781 employees during the quarter. TCS reported a revenue of $7.28 billion and a net profit of $1.41 billion, while Infosys reported revenue of $4.66 billion and a net profit of $733 million.

BPO firms attract top talent from IT services cos in search of greener pastures

Several senior executives from major IT services companies have been recruited by business process outsourcing (BPO) firms like Firstsource, Genpact, ExlService Holdings, and WNS over the past two years. The executives previously worked at Accenture, TCS, Infosys, and other major IT firms. The shift is attributed to factors such as more lucrative roles in BPOs, a slowdown in IT services, and a need for BPOs to scale up operations. The impact of generative artificial intelligence on this talent churn is debated, with some believing that BPOs are becoming more tech-oriented and driven by AI, while others see potential for this in the future.
