About TCS


Experience certainty.


At TCS, it means achieving real business results that allow you to transform, and not just maintain, your operations. Our IT services, business solutions, and outsourcing bring you a level of certainty that no other competitor can match. You'll experience requirements that are met on-time, within budget, and with high quality; greater efficiency and responsiveness to your business; and the ability to shift investment to strategic initiatives rather than tactical functions.


Global Network Delivery Model™

TCS' Global Network Delivery Model™ is the engine that allows us to provide reliable, scalable and cost effective delivery of services and solutions. This time-tested model has enabled us to achieve client satisfaction ratings of 89% for meeting quality expectations and an average budget variation on projects of just 3% -- both figures far better than industry norms.

TCS' Global Network Delivery Model™ enables our clients to:

* Choose a sourcing strategy best suited to their most important business considerations, e.g., cost optimization, cultural alignment, location proximity, language capabilities or risk-mitigation.

* Be assured of the highest quality of service delivery regardless of the mix of services, technologies, and locations.

* Lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Information Technology by managing different service streams -- such as Consulting, IT Services, IT Infrastructure Services, etc. -- through a unified delivery framework.

All of TCS' processes and infrastructure have been developed from the ground up -- as opposed to being cobbled together over time. The Global Network Delivery Model™ consists of 3 integrated components:

* Global Workforce
o Highly effective and scalable talent management - recruiting, staffing, training and retention

* Integrated Processes
o CMMI Level 5 quality processes
o World-class security procedures
o Project Management processes and tools (iQMS, etc.)

* Multi-Tiered Infrastructure
o Multi-continent and interconnected global development center network (local, regional, global model) to allow for better risk management and follow-the-sun coverage
o State of the art and redundant telecommunications network
o Global collaboration tools
 

Solution Accelerators


TCS uses its industry experience and technology expertise to effectively re-use assets from prior engagements to develop products, tools, and methodologies that help bring solutions to market quicker and with higher quality. These tools, along with our Global Network Delivery Model™, have helped us drive customer satisfaction ratings of 87% –- much higher than the industry norm -- for on-time project delivery.

Over the years, TCS has evolved processes and systems that capture critical client needs, survey the set of existing third party tools and technologies, and then develop solution accelerators that help clients achieve quicker outcomes.

* TCS has over 50 Centers of Excellence that track domain and technology trends, and address the most critical client needs through specific frameworks or methodologies that accelerate the implementation process for 3rd party products.

* TCS is a preferred alliance partner of most leading IT product and platform companies, including Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, IBM and HP, among others. With intimate knowledge of their technologies and products, we build complementary solution accelerators that help clients in specific industries such as Textile Manufacturing, or with specific needs (e.g., an ERP platform upgrade) leverage the true potential of these technologies.

* All TCS projects are delivered through a unified delivery framework, which includes a knowledge management system with learning from past projects, and that also provides incentive to create knowledge assets from new projects that can benefit clients in the future.

Here are some examples of how TCS' Solution Accelerators help clients realize tangible benefits:

* TCS BaNCS is comprehensive portfolio of solutions for the Financial Services industry that provide enterprises with greater operational control, reliable technology support, continuous process improvements, and enhanced speed-to-market.

* TCS SOLAR Framework is a service oriented framework to strategize and deliver Business Intelligence & Performance Management solutions for clients. (Gartner Inc positioned TCS in the Leaders Quadrant for the "Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Services, North America, 2007" report.)

* TCS Code Generator Framework (TCS MasterCraft) provides an integrated environment along a product or application development life-cycle. By significant re-use of code, it speeds up new application development, legacy system integration, and/or making enhancements.
