32. SWOT Analysis
Strength:
1. A well established leader among Indian IT companies. Infosys has built a solid image by
delivering quality services and innovation.
2. Well defined service portfolio: In last one decade it was able to build solid capability
including matured processes and team in all the key vertical including Retail, Oil and Gas
etc.

center across globe.
4. Focus on Innovation: Infosys has dedicated about $100M to support innovative ideas

strategic acquisition in Europe and elsewhere.
6. Strong Relationship with Clients: Almost 98% of its business comes from existing
customers. It has total 798 active clients and out of which 12 are $100M+.
33. Weakness:
1. Leadership: So far D. Shibulal is not able to meet investor‟s expectations. He became CEO
of Infosys on 3pth April 2011 and since then margin and growth has suffered. Other India
offshore players such as TCS, HCL continue to do well.
2. Declining Growth and Margin: Gross margin (FY13) has declined to 37% from
41%.Company recently has withdrawn EPS guidance and expect to grow about 6% to10%.
Below then Industry growth published by Nasscom.
3. Pricing Pressure: In order to generate growth, Infosys has indicated that it may go down in
pricing that may not a good sign as it will further impact margin. On an annual basis pricing
is down by 3%.
4. Lower utilization: In services business, a lower utilization is big threat and causes a good
amount of pressure on business development team. Infosys has delivered a lower utilization
and it appears that management is comfortable about it.

bigger and Infosys has taken concrete steps to take advantage of that.
2. Significant opportunity in Product and platform segment: Total booking is about
$685MN, and grew by 12.4%
3. Strategic Acquisition: Infosys will continue to acquire firms which can add to its top
line. Growth from Innovation: Infosys is betting high on Innovation, already committed
$100M to further support this initiative.
Threat :
1. Global economy: Although US economy looks like going to recover soon, however Europe is
still not able to catch up.
2. Vendor Consolidation and High Competition: Now most of the big clients want to
consolidate its number of vendors and competitors such as Cognizant, Accenture are
able to offers/showcase well differentiated offering and strategies to clients and that
may result in reduced project budget for Infosys.
