The new economic policy of the government of India generated industrial growth. It led to unprecedented development of industries. I T industry became one of the most flourishing industries in India. The investment in I T Sector has increased since India opened up the economy for private sector. Emergence of Globalised economy witnessed growth of I T industry. Many new cooperates entered the industry. Different types of investors showed keen interest in investing in I T stocks because of the higher rate of return. In portfolio selection the investors are confronted with an issue of identifying the right company having intrinsic value for the investment. The issue to be discussed with is how to select the right company in the context of mushroom growth of IT companies with plenty of new entrance with little history but with great volume of profit.

  • GETTING AHEAD in CYBER RISK a Differentiated Approach for Communications, Media and Technology Providers
    GETTING AHEAD IN CYBER RISK A differentiated approach for Communications, Media and Technology providers KEY TAKEAWAYS Companies in the Communications, Media and Technology (CMT) industry, especially in the 1 telecommunications sector, operate across multiple technology platforms and jurisdictions, exposing them to wide-ranging cyber risks. The industry often acts as a conduit for information and transaction flows and forms a fundamental component of other key sectors, making it a particularly attractive target. Business interruptions and reputational damage are perceived to be the most critical cyber 2 loss scenarios for CMT companies and their stakeholders. A cyber incident can cause significant financial losses stemming from service disruption, as well as loss of trust due to breach of customer privacy. In the case of reputational damage, on average it is much more pronounced for the CMT industry than other industries. In the face of a cyberattack, the CMT industry is perceived to incur the highest financial cost 3 across all surveyed industries. Among cyber threats, financially-motivated ones are the biggest concern for CMT companies. As shown by results of the latest Marsh Microsoft Global Cyber Risk Perception Survey, more than 80 percent of respondents from the CMT industry expect a cyber breach to cost them more than $1 million per case, as compared to a cross-industry average of 65 percent.1 Proactive measures are needed to increase the visibility of cyber risk issues within CMT 4 companies, and cyber risk management should be made a shared responsibility across the firm. While the risks have been recognized by the industry, more can be done by CMT companies to establish and implement a holistic framework, encompassing cyber hygiene, governance, quantification of risks, and adequate board oversight.

As a part of this report, Everest Group updated its classification of 20 service providers on the Everest Group PEAK Matrix™ for DevOps services into Leaders, Major Contenders, and Aspirants. The PEAK Matrix is a framework that provides an objective, data-driven, and comparative assessment of DevOps service providers based on their absolute market success and delivery capability. Based on the analysis, Capgemini emerged as a Leader. This document focuses on Capgemini’s DevOps services experience and capabilities and includes: ⚫ Capgemini’s position on the DevOps PEAK Matrix ⚫ Detailed DevOps services profile of Capgemini Buyers can use the PEAK Matrix to identify and evaluate different service providers. It helps them understand the service providers’ relative strengths and gaps. However, it is also important to note that while the PEAK Matrix is a useful starting point, the results from the assessment may not be directly prescriptive for each buyer. Buyers will have to consider their unique situation and requirements, and match them against service provider capability for an ideal fit.
