Brazil is the second fastest growing geography globally for SAP AG. Software revenues for SAP AG grew 20% in the last year. The current spend on IT by companies in Brazil is approximately US$70B, with US$36B being spent on services and software. As Brazil gears up to host FIFA 2014 and the Olympics in 2016, it would only provide an increased impetus to an already rapidly growing IT services market.
Together, Complex IT and Mahindra Satyam would be well positioned to combine local expertise with ability to deliver large and complex projects, in a period of sustained profitable growth for both partners.
