Dear Members:
By the time this Annual Report reaches you, we would have already
announced some very exciting news. We have merged our indirect
subsidiary HOV Services LLC (HOV Services) with SOURCECORP, Inc.
(SOURCECORP), a portfolio company of Apollo Management V, L.P.
SOURCECORP is a Texas, US based BPO services and specialty consulting
services company. Shareholders of HOV Services and SOURCECORP will each
control 50% of the combined entity now called SOURCEHOV, Inc., a
Delaware corporation. This merger brings together two highly recognized
companies and creates one of the largest global business process
outsourcing and professional consulting services entities in the world.
The management team of SOURCEHOV has over 25 years of expertise in the
Industry, with a proven track record of seamlessly integrating core M&A
components and continuously innovating new technologies, expanding
end-to-end service offerings and always creating additional value for
its customers.
With the combination of these two great companies, we now have strength
and resources of 14,000+ associates and the potential to achieve a
truly great future. This will not be easy and we will face challenges
as we start this new chapter in HOVS history, but we are confident
that our expanded SOURCEHOV team can overcome obstacles and seize
opportunities of all kinds. SOURCEHOV dedicated resources commit to
work hard together and aim to excel beyond the paces of our
competitors, carving out a significant role for SOURCEHOV in the global
market and are excited to be a part of the team making history. We are
very proud of our team and share their excitement and commitment to a
very bright future.
On behalf of the shareholders and the Board of HOVS, I would like to
thank each and every employee and member of HOVS (now part of
SOURCEHOV), the SOURCECORP members and our partners at Apollo for
making this combination a reality.
Furthermore, we were honored by the Maharashtra Government with an
award for Maharashtra Information Technology Support Services- BPO /
KPO award 2010. We were nominated by Global Services 100 survey 2010
amongst the Top BPO provider in three categories namely, Industry
Specific BPO Vendors, Top BPO Vendors and Top FAO Vendor list; and
NASSCOM, in its Annual BPO Survey 2010, ranked us on the list of Top
15 BPO Exporters list. Each one of these awards is a testimony of your
Companys robust business model and delivery excellence.
We believe that 2010-11 was the pivoting point for the industry in many
ways. From 10,000 ft, the industry has witnessed the mutual benefit of
outsourcing from all involved - contrary to what analysts had initially
warned. Indian companies have notably invested in the US, while US
companies have increased the sale of US products to India, in effect
creating jobs that many had feared were lost to outsourcing. Secondly,
the maturity of the domestic market, product ecosystem of start-ups,
growth in core markets and recognition that global sourcing is not just
about cost savings (but fundamentally transforming each customers
business model) are significant trends that will reshape the industry
in this decade.
In closing, I would like to thank you in addition to each and every one
of our HOV family members for your continued and unwavering support.
Our future is bright and each new step beholds challenges unforeseen,
but, that being said, we are committed and steadfast.
I look forward sharing our victories - small and large - with you.
Best Regards and thank you again,
Parvinder S Chadha
Chairman & Executive Director
