Why a Joint Venture?
Evolution of a captive to JV
Captive IT services group in India had grown to over 100 people, but managing an IT services company was not a core competency of Cummins
But we wanted to maintain an investment in an IT services company as we saw it as a good investment
Helped move work faster
Concerns about confidentiality of applications lessoned by moving work to someone “inside the family”
Senior leadership visibility and attention due to concern about success of JV
Gave us insight into cost structure and operation of an IT company
Made us more educated when negotiating with other partners
Evolution of a partnership
JV formed in late 2001
Traditional IT outsourcing business agreement
Launched joint community service projects in 2006
Partnered on a Six Sigma project to identify how to provide low cost IT services to non-profit community agencies in Columbus, Indiana, USA
KPIT Cummins employees and volunteers staff a new agency to deliver IT services
Expanded nonprofit support to other communities in 2007 & 2008
Started program to provide support for agencies in Pune
Plans to expand program to Fridley, Minnesota and Nashville, Tennessee
Expand partnership to Purdue University to research new ways to apply technology to societal problems and community organizations
