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

Page 11: Building, Managing and Measuring Strategic Partnerships,Gail F Farnsley, Vice President and Chief Information Officer,

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
