There were sporadic discussions in provider boardrooms about the need for nonlinear growth, which led to an initial investment in in-house tools. Consequently, providers developed tools to accelerate their own backend operations, reduce delivery costs and timelines, and achieve annual cost reduction goals in their contracts. This paper showcases the HCL case study, one major provider that has been part of the trend to product-led services. Along with its Q3FY21 results, HCL announced it had reached USD 10B in annualized revenue for the calendar year 2020—a significant milestone.
