Pulak Mukhopadhyay sent a message to Francisco DSouza CEO, Cognizant - email address that said:
Dear Mr. Francisco,
Hope you are doing well and its a pleasure for me write to you to propose something which might be helpful for Cognizant.
This is Pulak founder of start up Techno Excellence Consultancy Services Pvt Limited. We are based out of Kolkata, India.
My background being a long career in large IT Companies, I have seen that large IT companies having large pool of IT resources often struggle with the 2 following things:
ï§ Resourcing a new project: When a new project comes its often a big headache for the organization that ‘We have taken the project but will we be able to resource it? Problem here is you may have many right resources available within your organization and they are available to join the new project, but you do not have the visibility of those resources. Your Resource Management Group may claim that they have all processes in place to staff a project but I have seen the processes they have are mostly manual resulting long lead time to staff a requirement and system driven results also many times do not propose the right candidate for an open requirement. This leads to delay in project start, project failure etc and therefore customer dissatisfaction.
ï§ No/Less visibility of hot demanding skills: It is needless to say that company should know what are the top listing skill demands came from various projects within the organization and how company could fulfill those demands. This data is utmost important not only for your recruitment plans but also to chalk out what should be course curriculum for the freshers/trainees you take. You might have a system in Cognizant which gives you this data but I have seen most of the IT companies lack a robust system which provides this data which is unlikely to be 100% reliable.
In order to tackle the above 2 issues we Techno Excellence can offer Cognizant the following:
ï§ Automate your Open Requirement Management System where we will develop an Automation Engine which will Automatically (with ZERO manual intervention) propose available candidates to the requester matching the skills of his/her Open Requirement. The tool will have Advanced Rule Based Logic which will consider all factors to identify the exact or near match really available candidates including the possibility of booking the resource cost Automatically to the project holding the resource after a certain number of days.
ï§ Change Management: Developing the above solution we may need to some changes in your existing system and process which our team can very well do.
The above automation proposal will help your Project Managers staffing Open Requirements very quickly as well as will help Cognizant to draw a road map in competency development and recruitment with correct analysis data.
Also, this automation will help you releasing a good amount of people from your Resource Management Team and you can deploy them to other work.
Techno Excellence is a small Start Up and in process of establishing the company but we have highly qualified (from good Engineering Colleges) strong IT Project Managers who have rich experience in handling IT Projects and Resourcing so they know the issues large IT companies face in Resourcing Open Requirements and drawing the Competency Development and Recruitment plans. We have a strong team of Developers in latest technologies. So we are confident that we will be able to develop a robust Automated system for you.
Thanks for your time and would look forward to hear from you on the above proposal please.
With Regards
