Satyam's Business Value Enhancement

Business Value Enhancement (BVE) - the Business Process and Technology Consulting group in Satyam has been constituted with the core mission of engaging with clients on business issues such as competitiveness of business operations and strategic leverage of information technology. BVE teams help clients make smart investments in business process and IT assets – in line with the strategic objectives of the enterprise, and manage investments in these assets for optimal business value. Our preferred engagement style is co-creation of value for clients – in line with Satyam’s positioning of “Business Transformation. Together”. BVE will strive to make Satyam the preferred transformation consulting partner globally. It is a part of the Enterprise Business Solutions group that contributes to over 44% of Satyam’s topline.

Business Value Enhancement was established in response to requests from some of its major customers to help improve their service capabilities. Satyam’s customers were principally interested in adopting Satyam’s highly successful methodologies for their own IT and Business units. Business Value Enhancement’s first clients were also some of Satyam’s largest customers; General Electric, Ford etc. From that small beginning this group has grown to become one of the world’s largest process consulting practices of its type, coming from an IT services company. In 2007, the Black Book of Outsourcing ranked Business Value Enhancement, the Numero Uno in the Top 20 ITO: Global Process Consulting Vendors.

Thus, Business Value Enhancement has developed a set of process solutions spread across the value chain covering continuous operations at the base and consulting led value delivery at the pinnacle.

These process solutions are based on drivers that influence a CXO’s decision process. These include:

Strategic
- How do I optimize my business performance?
- What should be my technology portfolio, both existing and new?
- How do I mobilise the Enterprise for 24 X 7 operations?
- Is the IT Portfolio aligned to my organisational business processes and architecture?
- Does it make sense to get this done externally or to do it myself?
- Will this investment provide impetus to the planned growth?
- While I have grown inorganically, how do I drive strategic alignment, efficiency, and effective operations?
Tactical
- How do I simplify IT and Business Process landscape?
- Do I have the basis for effective utilisation of resources leading to the desired outcomes?
- Can we improve significantly our historical returns by asset class and by business unit?
- Am I prepared to deliver ‘High Availability’ and ‘Continuity’ to the business?
- Is my business prepared to meet environmentally imposed constraints?

Business Value Enhancement addresses the above drivers through a set of competency blocks, our Value Enablers.
