History


       The founding story of Invensis Technologies Pvt Ltd begins in the year 1998, when Vara

Prasad Rongala, a successful entrepreneur, conceived the idea of starting a BPO services

company. He partnered with Joshua Barton, a Jewish American with similar interests and visions

which led to the formation of Virtual Tech Solutions. A five member founding team set up an

office in Chicago and a delivery center in Bangalore, India. This company was offering

CAD/CAM Services and was soon able to build a strong presence and client-base for its

sustenance.Computer-aided design (CAD), also known as computer-aided design and drafting

(CADD), is the use of computer technology for the process of design and design documentation.


        With the leadership of Rongala, Invensis Technologies leveraged up the value chain

from a 5 member team to currently a 1200 employee strong workforce. Invensis excels in

offering BPO services like Data Management, Call center services; Logistics support services,

Customs Brokerage, Healthcare services, Finance and Accounting, Litigation Support, Photo

Retouching Services, IT services and Internet Marketing services (Vara Prasad Rongala's

Experience , 2011). In addition, Invensis also specializes in Software development, Web

designing, Finance and Accounting, Document Management, Data Entry, Invoice / BOL

Processing, Litigation / Legal Coding, Image Processing, and Photo enhancement.Rongala,

capitalized on the skilled professionals highly proficient in English, a characteristic less

prevalent in other outsourcing destinations. Utilizing this very unique feature, he envisioned

relationship-building with global customers thereby giving them complete long-term

satisfaction.


Date Integrity


        As many more companies continue to outsource sensitive information such as Medical

records and banking information, BPO’s has increased challenges of keeping this information

free from Invensis Technologies deal with data integrity. In order to mitigate these types of

concerns from its clientele, Invensys is installed with redundant internet links at redundant routes

for purposes of security as well as efficient functioning. Furthermore, the company has procured
3 Harley


the most up-to-date technology related to a specific service or area of expertise. Invensis believes

security appliances to protect the network from intrusions is the key to maintain a successful

relationship with its varied clientele. Moreover, only state of the art servers are used to handle

the client’s data such as virtual private network (VPN).


       VPNs are established from firewall to get connected to client servers with high security

encryptions.A key feature of a VPN is its ability to work over both private networks as well as

public networks like the Internet (Tyson, 2010). Using a method called tunneling, a VPN use the

same hardware infrastructure as existing Internet or intranet links. VPN technologies include

various security mechanisms to protect the virtual, private connections. Specifically, a VPN

supports at least three different modes of use: Internet remote access client connections, LAN-to-

LAN internetworking, and controlled access within an intranet. In recent years, many

organizations have increased the mobility of their workers by allowing more employees to

telecommute.


       In order to enable Invensis to work successfully with various clients, a VPN can be set up

to support remote, protected access to the corporate home offices over the Internet. An Internet

VPN solution uses a client/server design works as follows: A remote host (client) wanting to log

into the company network first connects to any public Internet Service Provider (ISP). Next, the

host initiates a VPN connection to the company VPN server (AT&T, 2011). This connection is

made via a VPN client installed on the remote host.Once the connection has been established, the

remote client can communicate with the internal company systems over the Internet just as if it

were a local host.

       Besides using virtual private networks for remote access, a VPN can also bridge two

networks together. In this mode of operation, an entire remote network (rather than just a single

remote client) can join to a different company network to form an extended intranet. This

solution uses a VPN server to VPN server connection.Internal networks may also utilize VPN

technology to implement controlled access to individual subnets within a private network, which

can further strengthen the loyalty that Invensis has with its clients. In this mode of operation,

VPN clients connect to a VPN server that acts as the network gateway. This type of VPN use

does not involve an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or public network cabling. However, it

allows the security benefits of VPN to be deployed inside an organization and that is the goal of

Invensis (WEBOPEDIA Everything you need to know is right here, 2009).


       Invensis, as a world-class BPO and software development service provider, understands

the significance of identifying and prioritizing its assets for business empowerment.

Additionally, the company has had tremendous growth in the past couple of years. Its strategy of

future success lies in its efforts to deal with high levels of attrition (a gradual reduction in work

forcewithout firing of personnel, as when workers resign or retire and are not replaced). The IT

enabled services (ITES) sector show high levels of attrition because of the demand for highly

skilled professionals in India (Invensis Technologies – Offering Paramount Business Process

Outsourcing Services, 2000). The executive director, Rongala wondered whether the company's

structured approach towards working on an outsourcing project would help build credibility and

differentiate it in the market place. He feels this is how he could reduce the high attrition rate of

ITES.For Invensis Technologies, building an engaged and committed workforce is essential to its

future growth.

Growth


       In Invensis, they believe in creating benchmarks with their services that are supported by

their assets, which can be broadly classified under the following core areas: Its People, State of

the Art Infrastructure, and Cutting Edge Technology specific to domain of operation. Rongala

and his team only recruit highly talented and motivated professionals in respective domains of

expertise; by doing this Invensis generates top quality solutions instrumental in growth of

customer businesses.World class infrastructure like CISCO, RAD, D-Link, HP, and Net Gear

products are used to build the network-to-main maximum uptime. He feels that if his company

invests in cutting edge technology, the employees will be able to complete their jobs effortlessly

and would remain loyal.


       Invensis feels that promoting a “Team Comprise” approach of target driven professionals

with innovative and progressive ideas that are recognized offers the best solution to reduce

attrition, and delivers the best in the industry service to their valued clients(Invensis

Technologies – Offering Paramount Business Process Outsourcing Services, 2000).Furthermore,

the company provides training and interaction programs for Invensis personnel to keep them

updated with latest information that is vital to client solutions across verticals.Invensis

implemented features such as smart cards for accessing different levels supplemented by CCTV

by doingthis; a security threat to infrastructure is prevented and eliminated. Entry into the

premises and the various project areas is restricted and access control devices and monitoring

systems are in place to prevent and detect unauthorized access. Frequentmonitoring and audits

ensure that the security measures are in place.The Center, which is the name for the home office,
6 Harley


is installed with redundant internet links at redundant routes for purposes of security as well as

efficient functioning which also provides a sense of security for the personnel.




        Every business is a network of processes. Transforming processes from people and paper

tointensive models using information technology (digitization) and outsourcing (BPO) is the

long term mega trend.That is why for Invensis, merging its internal strategies, its personnel and

its external strategies its, IT capabilities is essential to its continued growth. Invensis internal

growth is a strategy to develop the base or capabilities of the business itself. In other words, the

company will reinvest in its employee development, departmental restructuring, and enhance

product offerings in the hopes of providing a broader base on which to provide more servicesand

products to its customers. Invensis does realize that internal growth does not produce immediate

revenue increases and may actually require an output of revenue to be paid off over time, but the

company knows internal growth promises the best potential for future returns on investment.


        For Invensis, their external growth strategies are to develop actual company size and

asset worth. These external strategies focus on strategic mergers or acquisitions which increases

the number of mutual relationships through third parties. The company feels the larger the

number of business partners, the greater the net worth of the company and throughput of cash.

The goal of Invensis external growth strategy is to provide larger opportunities to increase the

worth of the company (Business Process Outsourcing, 2008).
