Satyam launches engineering development training program
Satyam launches industry's first engineering development training program
Satyam Computer Services Ltd has announced the launch of Satyam Entry-Level Engineering Development program called the SEED. A first-of-its-kind in the industry, SEED is a 4 months training program for the entry level engineers. It is aimed at building a quality resource pool to support engineering programs of global clients.
The training program spreads over six months and encompasses design basics from premier engineering institutes with application examples, followed by industry visits and training on 3D CAD systems taught at real time tool rooms. The incumbents are exposed to visualization and appreciation of design concepts. This program is part of a much bigger 'strategic competency development' program spread over 2-3 years wherein Satyam would groom engineers into future designers / analysts in multiple engineering disciplines like Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics. Satyam thus will move up the product development value chain - from low end design support services to high end activities like conceptualization / design, analysis, embedded systems, system design, and the like.

US Engineering Services Industry Report
US Engineering Services Industry Report
Published Date: February 2008
Published By: First Research, Inc.
Abstract
The US engineering services industry is highly fragmented, comprising 45,000 mainly small companies with combined annual revenue of $90 billion. Large companies include Jacobs Engineering Group and URS Corporation, as well as the engineering divisions of large construction companies like Fluor and Bechtel. Almost half the firms in the industry are small, with fewer than five employees. The 50 largest firms account for only 35 percent of industry revenue. About 100 firms have more than $100 million of annual revenue.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Demand is driven largely by the construction needs of companies and governments and the desire of industrial customers to improve the efficiency of their operations. Profitability depends on the ability to accurately predict costs for a project. Small firms, which can effectively compete with larger ones by having expertise in a particular field, are often hired as consultants on larger projects if they have special expertise. Large firms have the advantage in designing and managing large projects. Average revenue per employee is about $150,000 for large firms, $110,000 for small ones.
PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY
Engineering services include a wide variety of activities, including product design, industrial process design, construction design and management, systems engineering, and maintenance and operations. Engineering companies may be involved in projects that require skills in analysis, design, project management, operations, or all four. Most firms specialize in a particular type of engineering. Most engineering work is of a project nature, ..

Press release
DUBLIN, Ireland - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c82050) has announced the addition of Top Engineering Services Outsourcing Vendors, Black Book Survey 2007 Results to their offering.
Outsourced engineering services is one such space where Indian companies have begun to make a mark, successfully using the skill-sets, tools and experience from IT software and services, to evolve from providing basic data conversion, through 2D and 3D CAD/CAM/CAE, advanced simulation, prototyping, testing, PLM, product design (engineering), process engineering, plant automation and asset management services. Though most of the initial players in the segment have emerged from legacy IT services businesses, today the segment has matured with several of these firms having established an independent engineering services practice.
Full Service ESO Rankings and Results Includes:
- Engineering Services Outsourcing
- Design, Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering
- Plant Automation & Enterprise Asset Management
- Electrical & Electronics Engineering
- Advanced Simulations, Prototyping, Styling & Testing
- Embedded Design & Development Engineering

The potential for process engineering, plant automation and enterprise asset management services lies relatively unexamined. Industry estimates peg the market potential for process engineering, asset management and industrial embedded systems at over $5 bn taking the total outsourced/offshore market potential to approximately $12 bn. This estimate takes into account the outsourcing opportunity that would arise from mechanical engineering design, construction engineering design, electrical engineering design, embedded systems and chip design, instrumentation and controls design, manufacturing and tool design, industrial design, product lifecycle management (PLM) and software product engineering.
Of the $750 billion global engineering-services market today, only about $10-$15 billion is offshored. India accounts for about 12% of the total offshore market, that is somewhere between $1.2 billion-$1.8 billion. This could go up to $40 billion by 2020.
This implies an increase in India's share to approximately 20%-25% of the total offshored market, which is likely to grow to $150-$250 billion by that time. Offshore engineering services is one area where India does not have a dominant market share, unlike most other offshore services segments and sub-segments.
The Black Book of Outsourcing research service titled TOP ENGINEERING SERVICES OUTSOURCING VENDORS 2007 provides an in-depth competitive analysis of the highest 20 ranked ESO suppliers globally, including India. The study examines the customer responses and satisfaction scores on eighteen specific criteria within the ESO market space and details each positioned vendor in several major functional areas. An analysis of key competitors provides the reader with in-depth market information.
Key Benefits:
Determine how your current ESO vendor is performing in other vendor engagements, and inspect the performance of engineering process outsourcing suppliers pre-RFP, as benchmarking outcomes, setting SLAs, and/or pre-contract renegotiation.

Press release
DUBLIN, Ireland - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c82050) has announced the addition of Top Engineering Services Outsourcing Vendors, Black Book Survey 2007 Results to their offering.
Outsourced engineering services is one such space where Indian companies have begun to make a mark, successfully using the skill-sets, tools and experience from IT software and services, to evolve from providing basic data conversion, through 2D and 3D CAD/CAM/CAE, advanced simulation, prototyping, testing, PLM, product design (engineering), process engineering, plant automation and asset management services. Though most of the initial players in the segment have emerged from legacy IT services businesses, today the segment has matured with several of these firms having established an independent engineering services practice.
Full Service ESO Rankings and Results Includes:
- Engineering Services Outsourcing
- Design, Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering
- Plant Automation & Enterprise Asset Management
- Electrical & Electronics Engineering
- Advanced Simulations, Prototyping, Styling & Testing
- Embedded Design & Development Engineering
- Product Lifecycle & Data Management
Over 130 Engineering Services Outsourcing suppliers globally were included in the Black Book client survey process from 17 countries.
THE TOP 20 SURVEY-QUALIFIED ESO VENDORS, 2007 [in Alphabetical Order]: EASi, Eicher, Entegee, eServ Perot, Geometric, HCL Technologies, Hero Global Design, Hoyt Engineering, Infosys, Mahindra Engineering, NeilSoft, Onward Tech, Patni, Plexion, QuEST, Ranal, Rolta, Satyam, Tata Group and Wipro
