MindTree Foundation is working on an initiative to bring out ?Affordable Assistive Technology Solutions for the Disabled?.  It has considered multiple technologies to address the needs of individuals with cerebral palsy and musculo-skeletal disorders many of which have moved beyond the initial evaluation process and are in various stages of development. Raja Shanmugam ? CEO, MindTree Foundation and his team members are adding the final touches to two such devices which they intend to release to the market by December 2010. These include  ADITI (Analog Digital Theremin Interface) which helps  people with disabilities connect with computers and KAVI (an augmentative alternative communication - AAC device) to help those with cerebral palsy and speech disorders to communicate easily.  These products are the result of collaborative efforts between MindTree, educational institutions like IIT Chennai and Kharagpur, and NGOs like SSK and Vidya Sagar.

MindTree Foundation is exhibiting ADITI and KAVI at this conference with a real-time demo of both the devices. Raja Shanmugam will also be speaking on ‘Development of affordable, sustainable and indigenous technology’ at 11:00 AM on the 24th of July.

In India, the concept of Assistive Technologies has been limited to mostly hearing aids, prosthetics and wheelchairs.  More sophisticated technology is needed to help a person with special needs to perform many of the tasks required to function independently, communicate and be productive in today?s world.  Apart from the cost related issues, there are also issues of availability, training, localization, servicing etc - even for those who can afford them. With a population that has 70-100 million people with special needs, pure philanthropic means of distribution are not viable.

Considering the business models for these devices in the Insurance driven western world,  it will be very difficult to for international makers to either sell current devices at the required price points or invest in research to make devices targeted to Indian needs. Hence the need for development of affordable, sustainable and indigenous technologies.

Bangalore, June 17, 2010: MindTree Limited, a global IT Solutions Company, announced that it has secured the application development and maintenance services contract of the Nandan Nilekani-headed Unique Identification (UID) project, renamed as ‘Aadhaar’. The multi-crore project involves services across the application lifecycle-from designing, developing, testing, maintaining and supporting the Aadhaar application to providing help desk services from the UIDAI’s (Unique Identification Authority of India) Bangalore Technology Centre.

Aadhaar will authenticate every Indian in terms of his or her identity based on bio-metric verification. With a massive information base of 1.2 billion people and the ongoing collection, validation, issue and constant verification of identity, project Aadhaar will require one of the most complex IT architectures ever created and a software implementation that would become a benchmark for years to come.

MindTree will work as the development partner to build the Aadhaar application, in collaboration with the technology team of UIDAI and other stakeholders. It will also carry out the ongoing services of development and enhancement to the core Aadhaar application.

MindTree is working around the clock because of the national importance the project has in terms of requirements, system functionality and timeframe by which the first biometric card would get issued. “It is not just a matter of business for us; it is an opportunity to serve the nation. This partnership further affirms MindTree’s commitment and focus in the Indian market,” said Anjan Lahiri, President & CEO, IT Services, MindTree Limited. MindTree won the project against competition from large global IT players. “This project win reaffirms our leadership in architecting and delivering large mission critical high throughput applications.” he added.

WARREN, NJ, June 3, 2010: MindTree Limited, a global IT Solutions company, today announced a Trade Promotions Analytics Solution, designed to help Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) organizations deploy more cost efficient and successful promotions. The solution employs statistical evaluation techniques to analyze promotions and gain meaningful insights, which can be used to transform trade promotion expenses into investments with a measurable Return on Investment (ROI) for sales, marketing and supply chain operations.

MindTree’s Trade Promotion Analytics Solution enables organizations to make side-by-side comparisons of trade promotions initiatives, such as shelf space procurement versus in-store sampling. The solution also analyzes trade promotions at different levels to identify exceptions, measure effectiveness and project successes of future promotion initiatives.

“Trade promotion spending is one of the top expenses on Profit & Loss statements of CPG manufacturers today, which is why many of these organizations have been investing in systems that capture data and generate reports on these investments,” said Scott Staples, CEO & President, Knowledge Services, MindTree. “However, these companies often lack the insights to translate this data into actionable information, which is why MindTree has developed a Trade Promotions Analytics Solution. By providing an assessment of all phases of the trade promotion process, from design and implementation through post event evaluation, MindTree enables organizations to better understand patterns of success and failure and apply this information to future initiatives in order to increase effectiveness and efficiencies.”

The MindTree Trade Promotions Analytics Solution captures data from various categories, including sales, promotions, products, time, and market, and creates a modeling plan using techniques such as linear regression, logistics regression and univariate and multivariate analysis. The modeling plan output is then combined with client workshop knowledge and unstructured mining to derive answers to business questions.

The MindTree Trade Promotions Analytics Solution can be quickly customized based on an organization’s Trade Promotion maturity level. At the entry level, the solution can be applied to assess a promotion’s impact on sales volumes. For those organizations with mature Trade Promotion programs, the MindTree solution can help measure various promotional aspects such as target markets and duration. Advanced organizations can utilize the solution to benchmark promotion results against target objectives.

“Traditionally, CPG companies have looked at Trade Promotions systems as more of a fund management system. MindTree’s Trade Promotions solution realizes the need to look at Trade Promotions more as business enablers and hence focuses not just on the ‘control’ aspect, but on delivering business growth by providing the right insights and knowledge into what leads to better promotion effectiveness,” said Radha R, MindTree Senior Vice President and Head, CPG & Manufacturing Industry Group.

MindTree has more than 10 years’ experience in providing end-to-end IT solutions to the Consumer Goods industry, spanning consulting, development, testing, maintenance, support and infrastructure management. When coupled with its expertise in advanced data analytics, MindTree is uniquely positioned to help Consumer Goods companies gain deep business insights across all functional areas, such as sales territory development, trade promotions, customer, marketing, pricing, forecasting, outlet loyalty programs and spend analytics.

The solution along with MindTree’s Analytics capabilities for Consumer Goods organizations will be demonstrated at the Consumer Goods Technology Sales & Marketing Summit, which is being held at Roosevelt Hotel, New York City from June 7 ? 9, 2010.

MindTree earlier had an office in Ealing, West London since 2003. In the UK, several FTSE 100 brands in the Banking, Consumer Packaged Goods and Travel industry have chosen MindTree as their IT service partner.

Speaking at the opening ceremony Sir Howard Davies said, “I welcome MindTree to the heart of London. Despite the recent political and some recent financial uncertainties the climate for business is good and I think there are clear opportunities for MindTree to continue to develop and grow its business here.”

MindTree’s Executive Chairman Ashok Soota, who was present at the ceremony, said, “Our UK journey has been one of success, which is due both to UK companies recognizing and being ready to embrace the widespread benefits that IT outsourcing can deliver and also due to the unique positioning that MindTree, as a mid-sized and more agile company, is able to bring to its clients.”

MindTree’s UK Head Tridip Saha said, “This new office is a signal of MindTree’s intent to further strengthen our offerings to UK-based clients. We believe that this move will act as a springboard for further growth and investment as we continue to build MindTree as the next generation offshore IT service provider and a credible alternative to the existing players in the UK.”

This event will bring together MindTree’s customers in Europe, providing an opportunity to network and gain insights into the emerging trends in the industry.

This event will include presentations by senior executives from ArcelorMittal, SITA, Quantum Step and our executive management team led by Ashok Soota - Executive Chairman, Anjan Lahiri - President & CEO-IT Services and Parthasarathy N S - President & CEO-Independent Testing & IMTS.

For MINDTREE EUROPEAN CUSTOMER FORUM 2010 (MECF 2010), we’ve picked the theme, ‘IT enabled Business Transformation in the Post-Recession World’,keeping in view the recent trends in the market. Lower availability of credit, increasing uncertainty, lower consumer spending, are some of the new business conditions in the post-recession world. While organizations are trying to adapt to the new challenges, IT is expected to enable business transformation in the new normal. What does it take for IT to support businesses to align, adapt and succeed in the post-recession world is the big question that we are asking at MECF 2010.
