A leading aero structures manufacturer engaged our aerospace engineering team to design and develop components for their commercial airplane program.

A major transformation project we won this quarter was from a large manufacturer of computer systems and provider of related services, in which we are providing business, functional and consulting expertise. A provider of secure electronic payments and credit/debit card processing services engaged us to improve their reporting, monitoring, business intelligence and service. It is also consulting us to analyze and recommend process improvements.

A European retailer of office automation services consulted us to harmonize their processes and consolidate applications across Europe. A major transformational project won this quarter was from a leading European pipeline engineering company for whom we have implemented an enterprise resource planning system across 32 countries.

Operations

Leading global companies continue to engage us to manage their operations and ensure larger returns to scale for them.

A European telecom major chose us to design, develop, deploy and maintain an agent desktop application. Among the clients who opted for our product lifecycle management services are a leading oilfield service company and an agri-business major.

We are implementing a centralized loyalty management system with real time access for a leading retail company. We were instrumental in implementing a single multi-channel order management platform for a reputed British retailer. Our retail solutions team was selected as the single strategic vendor for application services for a North American apparel retailer. We also developed a web property for the B2C online sales for another specialty retailer.

Innovation

We have won major strategic projects this quarter on our strength and ability to innovate products and processes.

A European telecom giant chose us to develop their next generation set top box platform to offer consumers high-definition content and a host of other services. For a large global retailer, we are creating rich mobile applications, with an aim to enhance the shopping experience for their customers.
