Saksoft: One-Stop-Shop for All Information Management Needs Date:   Tuesday , November 24, 2015 Saksoft, an Information Management specialist, inherited the trait of \"take nerve-racking ordeals and beat them\" from its founder Aditya Krishna. One such instance follows when one of world\'s largest financial institutions needed the best-in-class IM (Information Management) solution that can integrate information from 42 different countries that have multiple Card products & currencies, hold & process a 20 million card base and provide MIS within four hours from the time of receipt of the feeds. They needed 24x7 availability of MIS with peel-the-onion features, web-enabled report generation & dissemination and an application system that is scalable, flexible and adaptable for multiple countries. Saksoft took up the challenge. After meticulous study of the existing system functionalities and a series of meetings with diverse business managers and technical teams of the card center, Saksoft designed and developed the solution within six months and played an important role in implementing it across 42 countries. It dramatically reduced the \'wait\' for key information and brought standardization across countries. The senior management and business can now wield the power of a lot of key information covering various performance metrics with drill downs across geographies, time and products. IM Assessment & Strategy Definition Having unanimously accepted that IMis imperative to stay competitive, organizations today reserve hefty budget towards it. However, puzzled by the advent of numerous disruptive opensource and SaaS IM tools, today\'s smarter CIOs who scrupulously analyse RoI& TCO, defer the purchase. Being the only company encompassing the complete spectrum of IM services&solutions,Saksoft enables these CIOs to make the right choice based on their requirements and budget through its prominent service - IM Assessment & Strategy Definition. \"We explain to the customers what stage in the IM lifecycle are they in, where they need to be and the course of journey they need to pursue to reach the final destination,\" explains Aditya Krishna, Managing Director, Saksoft. Unlike larger enterprises having IM services as just another cog in their wheel, Saksoft offers best-in-class services around consultation (IM strategy & roadmap definition), data organization (data cleansing, data quality & data warehousing), visualization (score cards & dash boards) and the analytics layout. Besides developing and implementing IM capabilities, testing, application development and resource augmentation, the company also supports the ongoing use and exploitation of the delivered solution with training and managed services. Sky is the Limit At Saksoft, values are not just a poster decorating the wall, but it is something everyone deeply believes in. Keeping customers as its top priority, the company always performs what is right for customers and their business, with an unfaltering eye on strong ethics and high quality. Saksoft also enables shareholders to realize fair return by experimenting with new ideas, making a sound profit and keeping reserves for adverse times. Saksoft respects and recognizes the merits of all of its 750 employees with frequent awards and endows them with a sense of job security, fair compensation and equal opportunity. This has facilitated the company to create a work culture where its people are committed to Saksoft. The company doesn\'t believe in layers or bureaucracy. Sky is the limit of growth for Saksofters. Focusing on individual employees, part of the organization follows a six month appraisal system, where Saksofters get an opportunity to explore and reach vertical and horizontal growth opportunities. Saksoft invests hefty money, effort and planning on training. For instance, if a trainer is conducting training in Manchester, utilizing Saksoft\'s Global Training Calendar, any employee interested in that training can login from anywhere to learn that. Growing Remarkably as a Team Incorporated in 1999 in Chennai, Saksoft has been growing organically and inorganically across the globe including U.S., UK, Paris and Singapore by materializing its vision, \'Make customers successful and create long-term relationship with these successful customers\'. This niche player has also been recognized by prestigious bodies such as Gartner, who has positioned it as one of the leading providers of IM in BI. In a press release regarding Saksoft\'s impressive 20 percent growth (PBT FY 2014-15 at Rs.22.70 crores) during Q4-2015, Aditya remarks, \"Whilst the year behind was challenging, the continuous thrust towards the global delivery model is being welcomed by our customers and they are able to see value in the same\". The management team strongly believes in the organization and the goals they have set for themselves. Not only they shine in their own functional areas, but also as a team, they move towards the direction that accelerates Saksoft\'s growth. \"This keeps us together and motivated and helps us to keep our teams on their toes and usher everyone towards the common goal,\" proclaims Aditya. The company aims to magnify its impressive growth rate, while also ensuring that every client, employee and stakeholder is in alignment towards that growth.
