Are the traditional cost takeout large deals back on the table?
-
Yes, but I think there are additional factors at play, such as vendor consolidation or AI-led cost optimisation. In certain deals, AI can help reduce costs. For example, we told one of our customers that they could achieve a 20 per cent cost saving by leveraging AI in a part of their portfolio. In response, they asked us to take on the larger portfolio, implement the same AI solutions, and deliver similar savings across the board.
Does that mean generative AI (GenAI) and AI-led deals will also go up in value?
Cost-optimisation deal sizes will go up, but when it comes to GenAI or AI-specific deals, they will likely continue to be in the few-million-dollar range. AI for information technology, which involves cost-optimisation deals, will be higher in value.
With the Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) deal coming to an end, how do you intend to bring that boost back to this market?
