The growth of outsourcing in recent years is partly the result of a general shift in many business philosophies. In the past, many companies sought to acquire others and diversify their business interests in order to reduce risk. Today, as more companies discover that there are limited advantages in running a large group of unrelated businesses, they divest subsidiaries and are refocusing their efforts on one or a few closely related areas of business. For expanding their horizons and looking beyond the periphery, organizations forge strategic partnerships, when it comes to product development, as they no longer live in a "know-it-all, do-it-all" cocoon.
Successful outsourcing requires a strong understanding of an organization's capabilities and future direction. Adhering to this, Ram Talluri founded Lead IT, an innovation-driven Information Technology Services Company in 2005. Since then, the company has been growing as an Information Technology Consulting firm, acting as a single-stop IT solution provider for its various Commercial and State Government customers. Headquartered at Springfield, IL, the firm serves a diverse range of industries, helping them improve time to market, optimize resources and reduce costs, thereby creating measurable business impact. "We provide services such as program management, product design, development and maintenance services for clients looking to build applications," says Suman Akula, COO, Lead IT.

There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work" - the headway and growth of Lead IT implies to it exquisitely. Under the dexterous guidance of Ram Talluri and Suman Akula, the company has built a core team that has the perfect knowledge of the processes, tools and framework required for establishing a lean, efficient and agile delivery model.
