Key Findings & Highlights:
Tech Mahindra initiated its work around enterprise data warehousing (EDW) and big data and analytics in 1999. It has a Data & Analytics (D&A) CoE service line, with responsibility including the co-creation of the service portfolio and accelerators; it also has revenue responsibility.
Tech Mahindra had, as of March 31, 2017, a big data and analytics headcount of ~5.0k personnel (5% of its total headcount) across the organization. It has ~160 analytics and big data clients and ~150 accelerators. Contracts can involve between one consultant and ~350 personnel, with significant contracts starting at 20 personnel.
D&A has initiated a change in its service portfolio, expanding the conversation from analytics to digital, and to business consulting, and taking a consulting-led approach to big data and analytics projects. This approach results in joint workshops with other digital units of Tech Mahindra, and also in its continued work to develop algorithms.
Accelerators and platforms are an important element of D&A’s investment in its service portfolio. Examples of recent automation investment include TAP (its big data platform), iDecisions (report templates by vertical), and PRISM (predictive analytics). The practice also maintains its effort on standalone point accelerators such as its Unified Data Management Framework (UDMF), for data transformation and migration across applications/databases.
