MphasiS BFL: The Indian IT Services Company Growing Through BPO

OR

Abstract:
Two negatives make a positive. This indelible axiom in mathematics seems to hold good even for businesses. MphasiS BFL stands as a testimony to this fact. The companies MphasiS and BFL Software Limited were facing troubled times with the former lacking credentials as a reliable software service provider and the latter, though with credentials, lacking the marketing muscle. The combined company launched itself on a differentiated service platform – integrated solutions - combining its IT services and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) expertise. With its BPO wing, 'MsourcE' growing strong, MphasiS' initiative for an integrated model seems to have reaped the full benefits of MsourcE's operations.

Pedagogical Objectives:

• To discuss the growth achieved by MphasiS BFL through an integrated solutions approach which brought together its IT and BPO expertise.
