The Financial Express: Executive Vice Chairman of Cognizant India Says the Company Expects Robust Demand for SMAC Services

“We feel pretty good about the [Q4-2013] results. If one looks at the full-year performance of 20.4% growth for 2013, once can see that we have added $250 million over our initial guidance,” says R. Chandrasekaran.

“We are very optimistic [about 2014] as we saw a good demand environment in 2013 and we expect that to continue in 2014," he notes. "Most of the customers are looking to leverage newer technology stack and transform the business to create a digital enterprise. Technology is going to drive a lot of demand and we are also expanding into newer geographies such as Latin America and newer business verticals like public sector to emerge better.”

Chandrasekaran adds, “The SMAC (social, mobile, analytics and cloud) stack is creating a lot of opportunities in helping customers challenge the status quo and improve business performance. We expect the demand for SMAC services to be very robust. The adoption of these technologies has been across the board.”
