This year was a challenging one as our investments into a large managed services deal did not yield expected returns in the anticipated timelines. Due to this we had to reduce our operational expenses and slow down investment of our expansion into matured markets. But now the managed services deal is back on track with both phases of our implementation underway including migration. Despite difficult times, our existing customers trusted us and our strategy to proactively engage with them has resulted in increase in our services revenue. Though we had to slow down our investments on expanding our market presence in matured markets, we could win the confidence of two operators operating in Latin America and Europe for digitalization of their customer experience. Domestically we penetrated deeper into the banking and insurance verticals. Our UniServe NXT platform, which is a low-code rapid application development platform is seeing good traction amongst our customers and partner community.

3. Future Outlook

After successfully overcoming the delays in the managed services deal, we are expecting steady stream of revenue from this account. We are continuously farming our existing customers to up-sell and cross-sell our solutions. Our UniServe NXT platform has generated great interest among our customers and we are in the process of doing proof of concepts. We have made plans to expand our brand in matured markets like USA with our UniServe NXT platform and our solutions. Niche capabilities of our platform like data management for single view of your customer, pre-built solutions for automating customer experience lifecycle, rapid application development for building new customer journeys and digital support platform for greater customer experience address key issues that large enterprises are facing today. We are working with our partners to deploy our solutions in their labs and use it to build enterprise applications.

2. Review of Operations

During the year under review, your Company registered a gross revenue of Rs. 4,948.08 Lakhs (previous year Rs.4,679.24 Lakhs) and a Profit Before Tax of Rs. 802.09 Lakhs (previous year Rs. 1,244.04 Lakhs).

The highlight for the year was the conclusion of a multi-year, multi-country, global price agreement with one of the largest communications solutions providers of the world. This opens new opportunities for our solution across all worldwide locations of this Fortune 500 enterprise. We also maintained market leadership in South Asia for our UniServe™ solutions. Our increased sales investments in Europe and both the Americas, while affecting our margins for the current year, have been instrumental in building a strong sales pipeline for the forthcoming period. We now have customers in all the four continents and are actively exploring new opportunities jointly with large SIs and local partners.

3. Future Outlook

Digital Transformation across large enterprises is a global phenomenon now. Our UniServe™ platform, in the past year, has successfully proven its capability as an accelerator to this transformation process. Additionally, with the aforementioned global price agreement in place now, we will endeavor to reach out to all global locations of the enterprise and conclude new opportunities. In the forthcoming year we are also launching our cloud platform to pursue new revenue opportunities in the large SMB segment in India.

Long sales cycles are inherent to enterprise-scale solutions and with our limited sales network in the past, we haven't been successful in building a pipeline robust enough to deliver substantial quarter on quarter numbers. We are in the process of correcting this anomaly by buttressing our global sales teams who are already in the process of building a strong sales pipeline. This, along with the assured periodic annuity from our existing engagements, we believe, will allow us to deliver consistently over a quarterly basis, within the next couple of years. Furthermore, our pursuit of global opportunity should also improve profitability as our margin realization has been superior on our export earnings. The Government is a large purchaser of technology solutions and we are also focused on opportunities in this sector.

Review of Operations

During the year under review, your Company registered a gross revenue of Rs. 4,679.24 lakhs - a 36% increase over previous year revenue of Rs. 3,442.92 lakhs and a profit before tax Rs. 1,244.04 lakhs - an increase of 128% over previous year profit of Rs. 545.21 lakhs.

While we consolidated our leadership position in South Asia by adding customers for both our uniserve Onboard and uniserve 360 solutions in Bangladesh, the highlight certainly was adding three new global marquee customers for our new uniserve CorpCare Solution. With these new customers spread across Europe and South America, uniserve CorpCare has now opened the western markets for us. Our focus on the Middle East and African region is also beginning to bear fruit with 30% revenue contribution from this region alone.

Another highlight of the past year was the focus on building a robust sales pipeline through extensive business development activity and work is apace to convert these leads to confirmed revenue this year.

Sales Marketing & Distribution

Over 50% of our revenue in the past year was from the overseas market. Our margin realization in this markets is also superior to our realization from the Indian market. The forthcoming fiscal will have us focus more intently in building business opportunities in these new markets. We have already strengthened our MEA team by posting our solution consultants in-country. These consultants will in turn, support and train all our partner sales force. An industry veteran has also been recruited to focus on the South East Asian markets and establish local partnerships there. Senior sales associates have already been recruited for North and South Americas and Western Europe. It will be our endeavour to see that the sales pipeline that is being built is effectively covered by local sales professionals.

Mr. Anil Kumar Vengayil, a successful telecom industry veteran, has joined our team to head global sales. Anil brings with him an experience of driving business for both start-ups and industry leading enterprises alike.

Government is a large consumer of IT applications and services. While actively contributing to our international expansion this year, Anil will also closely work with our local teams to focus on opportunities in the government sector.

As we foray into the global markets, brand recognition will be critical to our success. A series of initiatives to demonstrate our experience and thought leadership in our domain are already in progress. These will certainly boost our digital image and make our solutions easily identified. We are actively engaged with leading analysts from Gartner; Forrester and TM Forum and have already been mentioned in their publications.

To cater locally to our expanding list of global customers, we now have sales offices outside India in Singapore, U.A.E, U.S.A and U.K. We will soon commence our UK operations too. Systems Integrators like IBM, TCS, Wipro and Infosys have played a big role in our growth. We have now devised a specific alliance program to work more closely with these partners and build an opportunity pipeline with all their captive customers.

Future Outlook

Digital Transformation across large enterprises is a global phenomenon now and already have had success in this space in the past year with our uniserve framework. With sales recruitments and business development activity being focused around the international markets, we envisage our export contribution to climb beyond the current levels. This should also improve profitability as our margin realization has been superior on our export earnings. With specific focus this year in pursuing opportunities in the Government sector, we hope to grow our domestic footprint too.

The Company has incorporated the following Wholly Owned Subsidiary Company (WOS) during the year: (1) "Intense Technologies FZE" in Hamriyah Free Zone, Hamriyah, United Arab Emirates (U.A.E).

The Directors have pleasure in presenting the Twentieth Annual Report on the Business and Operations of the Company and the Audited Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2010:

Financial Highlights

(Rs. in Lakhs)

Current Year Previous Year

2009-2010 2008-2009

Gross Revenue 1135.00 1918.93

Total Expenditure 1815.96 1867.50

Financial Expenses 4.43 3.79

Operating Profit/(Loss) (685.39) 47.64

Review of Operations:

During the year your Company registered gross income of Rs.1135.00 lakhs (previous year Rs.1918.93 lakhs). The company recorded an operating loss of Rs. 685.39 lakhs as against an operating profit of Rs.47.64 lakhs in the previous year.

The revenues of the year have not been in line with our plans and expectations owing to the affects of the global downturn and a recessive environment. While we have ramped up our people strength in line with our plans, we have experienced several enterprises resorting to deferment on their IT investments. The telecom sector continues to be the major source of our revenues followed by the Insurance sector. The management has taken into cognizance the need to replicate the successes in telecom across all other verticals like Banking, Insurance, Utilities, Government and Manufacturing verticals.

Our investments on people are magnified due to the poor revenues, thus affecting the bottom line. However, the Company is confident of achieving its mission of becoming the top solutions provider in its chosen space. The Company has top Indian enterprises as its customers today and enjoys healthy partnerships with global Systems Integrators. Leveraging our existing customers along with partnerships should yield better revenues in the future.

Towards the end of the financial year 2009-10, we have noticed the optimism coming back to the overall business environment. The management also analyzed the costs and steps have already been taken to rationalize costs and optimize on the most-dependable resources.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution:

Being in the enterprise products space, marketing is critical to improve the proliferation of the Intense brand and its offerings. Partnerships and alliance are the fastest way to penetrate markets and reach customers. However, even our partnerships have experienced a pause in their revenue flows owing to the global downturn.

Our partnerships with global Systems Integrators, office automation vendors and technology resellers are showing improved traction for our products. The Company has also initiated steps to strike partnerships for the US geography. Substantial progress has been already made on this front. On the product front, the Company has already taken steps to integrate its products with SAP and other ERP solutions. This would strengthen the products attractiveness for the Manufacturing verticals. On the pricing front, the Company has created flexible and innovative pricing models. This would make our products affordable to medium enterprises and would also encourage large enterprises. The Company will continue to support the efforts in selling the products, strengthen the brand name in India and abroad. The Company will focus more on developing and maintaining a proper brand image and undertake a number of activities that will aim at enhancing brand recognition.

The Companys brand building efforts will cover placed articles across the web and promotional programs and participation in industry workshops and tradeshows. The Company believes that these initiatives will contribute to higher revenues, and assist in attracting and retaining good talent.

- New geographies, newer customers

- Existing customer, enhanced products

- Product proliferation in the customer business ecosystem.

Future outlook:

With the downturn receding in all the global markets, stability and certainty are bound to come. The Company is already experiencing signs of optimism from its prospective customers. That said, the Companys success with enterprise customers reflects a promising and robust growth. The fact that the Company is a leader in the customer communications management space in Indian telecom vertical and has covered significant ground in the Insurance vertical is in itself an indication of the business.

Today the Company also enjoys good customer reference base, which can be leveraged to replicate the domestic success across the globe. The focus would be to take our products to Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. The Company expects increased traction for its products from enterprises of all sizes and scales. The flexible pricing models should improve the affordability and help enterprises gradually scale their operations with our products and support.
