We have dramatically altered how we deliver services, pioneering an on-site, off-site, offshore approach that gives customers ultimate flexibility in how and where the solutions are delivered. And, we have extended that proven model to the Knowledge Process Outsourcing world. Historically, approximately 90 percent of our revenues are from repeat/referred customers, one of the best rates in the IT services business.
Global Delivery
Syntel's rapid growth during the early years prompted its leadership to begin exploring additional service offerings to augment its core IT staffing business.
In 1988, Syntel began providing development and maintenance services to its clients. With the addition in 1992 of its first wholly-owned development centers in India, Syntel began offering software outsourcing services on an onsite/offshore model, which connected software developers in India to project managers at the client's location via an international telecommunications network.
This model allowed Syntel to offer the cost of offshore labor rates with the flexibility and responsiveness of onsite project management. This method of IT service delivery is now widely known as the Global Delivery Model, and Syntel was among the first US-based companies to offer this service to its clients.
