Rolta's joint venture with Thales provides state-of-the-art C4ISTAR & Tactical Communication systems for these markets worldwide. Leveraging Rolta's dominant position in the Indian market, its Defense Industrial Licenses and taking advantage of ToT from Thales, this JV is strongly positioned to address the significantly large markets in India and internationally.

Rolta's acquisition strategy is clear and focused. It will acquire companies, business divisions or technologies — that are at the cutting-edge, synergistic with its lines of businesses, have an established track record, give Rolta access to new markets, are culturally compatible, enable the Company to move up the value-chain and are accretive to shareholder value.

In line with this philosophy, Rolta has made various strategic acquisitions. For example, the Company acquired Orion Technology, Inc., a Canadian software and integration company specializing in enterprise web-GIS solutions. This enabled Rolta to distinctively position itself as a provider of spatial integration consulting, software, and implementation services for global markets; for users who have a growing need for innovative, web-based, platform-neutral Geospatial solutions to efficiently integrate their GIS resources to meet the information needs of their constituents.

By acquiring TUSC, a US based company having a global reputation as a source of unsurpassed expertise in high-end consulting for large-scale ERP applications, Fusion Middleware and core database technologies based on Oracle applications; Rolta gained significant expertise and acquired advanced Intellectual Property, such as for data mining, visualization, instant SO A, etc.

The recent acquisition of WhittmanHart Consulting (WHC), the consulting Division of WhittmanHart, Inc., has brought in considerable strengths, due to WHC's established track record in Oracle's Hyperion products and major focus on Enterprise Performance Management, thereby strategically positioning Rolta to address the Business Intelligence domain on the Oracle database and application layers.

Rolta will continue to grow by adopting an approach that promotes organic and inorganic growth and transform itself by constantly moving up the value-chain to provide more meaningful solutions to its customers.
