The world is shrinking and companies think globally in a more real sense than ever before. It is not unusual anymore for a company that wishes to start a manufacturing plant to consider building this in China, India, Mexico or countries in Latin America, Europe, Africa or Asia. The services industry is following suite.

The use of a broad-based, global workforce while developing deep industry specific skills in local domains enables a company to differentiate itself by 'cutting deep and wide'. In the IT space, clients increasingly want to engage partners who have an appropriate blend of domain and technology skills. A staff augmentation specialist whose economic model is built on labor arbitrage math and who provides resources at "lower cost" does not offer a good enough proposition these days. A strategy consulting specialist whose economic model is built on high value addition and who does not provide follow on capabilities to convert strategic advise to working, operating models are also challenged. The market seems to want companies that can do both. Almost all the great consulting companies in our world are now converging at a model where they can provide consulting strategy as well as offer broad based global resources at affordable rates, high skill, and impeccable quality.

Scandent Group was created to be an early leader of this model. It provides a wide range of offerings from strategic consulting down to business process outsourcing, through application implementation, software development and support services. The company's core offering is triangulated by a global, scalable workforce (to support clients who are going global or have existing operations all over the world), rich domain-specific skills (to speak the 'business' language of clients in verticals such as Government, Banking, Financial Services, Insurance, Manufacturing, Logistics and so on) and unparalleled technology prowess (to support clients in the creation and deployment of state of the art solutions that help them differentiate themselves from their competitors).

Scandent is a broad based services and solutions company. Its areas of focus are wide in scope and its capabilities in the markets it chooses to serve, are comprehensive and deep.

Scandent Group and its affiliates and partners employ several thousand professionals all over the globe. The company has two main operating divisions - called Scandent Solutions or SSL and Cambridge.
