Indian firms top ADM services

The realm of Application Development and Maintenance (ADM) services form the
main revenue staple of most Indian IT services firms. A recent study involving
global customers and market analysts shows that Indian ADM has come of age.

US-based research group, Performance Monitor, reported in a new survey that
India-based firms outperform some or all of the multinational firms in a number
of areas of ADM services. The research is based on inputs from 864 clients of 11
leading ADM providers, seven of which are multinationals and four are
India-based. The four Indian companies that were considered in the survey
included Cognizant, Infosys, Wipro and TCS. The various players were rated on a
scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high) on various parameters. Speaking about the stellar
performance of Indian companies in the survey, the report observes, "When it
comes to application development and maintenance services, the India-based firms
have stepped up to the challenge the erstwhile global leaders."
