Enterprise software is in the midst of a revolution. Today, everyone's a power user. 2014 was all about the “consumerization” of enterprise software -- software companies redefining the user experience to make technology more closely resemble consumer applications. This will continue in this year as developers move away from a purely utilitarian approach to creating software that’s more intuitive, more user-friendly and able to cater to users’ changing needs.
TRENDS IN DEMAND ENVIRONMENT Enterprise Software
Gartner estimate the $310bn spend in 2015 growing to $396bn in 2019
IT Services – Applications Services (Implementation) worth $158bn in 2015, growing to $177bn in 2019
Digitalization – $170bn market growth from 2014-2019. $36bn in digital consulting and implementation, $13bn in digital consulting
Increased investment – CEOs intend to raise investment in IT and Digital Capabilities more than any other aspect of their business in 2015.
Increase in global technology spending and opportunities created through adoption of disruptive technologies are expected to propel growth in FY2015. NASSCOM expects the industry to clock export revenues of USD 84-87 billion maintaining a growth rate of 12-14 percent. Domestic revenues will also grow at a rate of 13-15 percent and are expected to reach INR 1180-1200 bn.
Well diversified client across geography.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) maintained positive demand commentary and stated that its digital business is growing in double digits QoQ. Based on TCS’ guidance of 60,000 addition and 14% attrition assumption for FY16 we estimate net employee addition at approximately 5% and revenue growth of 11%. This reiterates our thesis that the sector will clock higher earnings growth than revenue growth led by productivity gains.

EBIT margin at 29.3% surpassed street’s estimate. BFSI, retail, telecom and life sciences posted robust growth, but manufacturing was flattish due to softness in Latin America and Japan. Rebound in Telecom in‐line with April commentary. The extent was a positive surprise which was mainly due to the distributed footprint between EM and Major market.
Positive thing is it has no direct exposure in Greece and not seeing any impact of Greek problems on Continental Europe.

We believe the company can improve its utilization rate due to rising automation and non‐linearity, scope for it here onwards will be gradual and slow, which caps positive margin surprises going forward.
Domestic business to focus more on profitability
During the year under review, the company has increased number of sizable customers for products and services business. It has also won multi-year contracts for infrastructure Managed services from its clients.

Consistent Dividend History
One of the advantages to shareholders in the respect of stock dividends is the tax benefit. The receipt of the stock dividends by the shareholder is not taxable as income. The payment of stock dividend is normally interpreted by shareholders as an indication of higher profitability.
In the present unpredictable market conditions, picking stocks with high dividend yields is a good strategy for those who are here to invest with a long-term goal as such stocks gives investors fairly regular dividends, plus the capital appreciation could also be fairly good.
