The company provides IT consulting, software development, and outsourced accounting services, primarily focusing on accounts payable automation through its proprietary cloud platform for US-based clients.
The company lacks a durable moat as evidenced by highly volatile net margins and low returns on capital. While proprietary software like Circulus suggests potential switching costs, the financial results show a commodity-like service profile with significant pricing pressure.
Capital has been deployed toward infrastructure in India and strategic acquisitions like Network Objects to gain SAP capabilities. However, these investments have yet to translate into consistent shareholder returns or high return on capital employed.
The company's aggressive acquisition of Network Objects failed to integrate, leading to a bloated cost structure that the commodity-like IT services revenue could not support. As the US market tightened, the high client concentration became a noose, and the lack of pricing power forced margins further into the red. Management's inability to generate a return on the capital deployed into Indian infrastructure resulted in a slow liquidation of shareholder value, where the only 'profit' came from the desperate act of subletting office space rather than delivering high-value software solutions.
