Description:

The past week has seen the tragic collapse of Satyam as the chairman admitted to a massive financial fraud. The scale of the fraud in terms of the overall statement of revenue, profit, and cash on hand is significant. The largest scandal in the history of corporate India calls into question the viability of the company as an independent entity. As a result, sourcing and IT executives need to actively review their exposure to the company and their options as a cloud of uncertainty hangs over the company; this includes a portfolio assessment of all the work/projects being done by Satyam to understand what the potential disruption could be.

• Update on the state of Satyam
• Strategies for assessing alternatives

Vendors mentioned: Accenture, IBM, Infosys, Satyam, TCS, Wipro
