Brazil IT Outsourcing – An all around seasoned partner, ready to build a global delivery platform together with the NASSCOM Indian companies. Brazil is the 8th largest economy in the world and has a strong domestic market. With more than 40 different strong economy sectors, one of the economy’s major strengths, and has helped the country develop business expertise in many areas: from Banking and Financial Services to Health Care, from Aviation to Telecommunications, from Energy to Agribusiness and from Transportation to Oil and Gas. Also because of the country’s federative political structure, there is a lot of autonomy by the states and their choices for technological platforms. This has helped the country develop a wide range of technical skills that range from: Main frame programming to open source, from SAP and Oracle implementations to Java development. Because of these varied skill sets, many large multinationals have established Captive Centers and Research and Development Units in the country in the last decade. The Brazilian Government believes in strong strategic alliances´, as part of the Brazilian IT companies’ future success, and recognizes India’s major role worldwide in the IT space, especially in the Outsourcing sector. Brazil is looking forward to creating new ideas and developing new ways, together with the Indian Government and NASSCOM companies, to build a mutually beneficial relationship, where new aggregated value can be created jointly to benefit the customers. According to many Advisory Companies, including Gartner, Forrester, AT Kearney, and The Outsourcing Institute, Brazil currently stands as the "right decision," as it provides a compelling answer to all important issues when it comes to outsourcing offshoring or nearshoring. 1430 – 1530 Speakers: Chairperson:

1530 – 1630 hrs Speakers Chairperson:
Japanese IT services market at USD 108 billion is the world ’s second largest after the US. Demand is primarily driven by the BFSI and Manufacturing industries, which together consume close to 42 per cent of the IT services. Other large consuming industry sectors are the system integrators (16.3 per cent),public sector (8.6 per cent)and ICT (7.9 per cent). IT usage in Japanese firms so far has focused on improving the business efficiencies in administrative and intra company transactions. Only small portion of companies have utilised IT for strengthening competitiveness of the firm. This is also underlined by the absence of a fully functional CIO ’s office and a documented IT strategy. Low strategic importance to IT is also manifested by the fact that IT budget is limited to meager 1-1.5 per cent of the annual sales for most firms. Further, these budgets are largely utilised for ongoing maintenance of the current setup rather than new development. Today, Japan constitutes less than two per cent of the IT services exports from India. Penetrating the second biggest IT services market in the world continues to be a challenge for the Indian IT companies. Indian companies looking to de-risk themselves from dependence on a single market have long tried to establish themselves in this market, but with nominal success. With its large technically qualified manpower base and IT service delivery expertise, India definitely has a big role to play as the aging Japanese economy makes choices to stay competitive in global markets. This session would offer strive to bring out the key opportunities for Indian IT companies and the potential strategies to play a major role in the Japanese market. 1700 – 1800 hrs Speakers Chairperson:-
