Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has sealed a strategic business agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate its customers’ cloud transformation journey at scale.
This multi-year tie-up will enable TCS to facilitate full-stack digital transformation of its customers by leveraging data and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) solutions on AWS.
As part of this collaboration, AWS will also support TCS in upskilling and certifying 25,000 members of its workforce on AWS, creating a modernised champion team with advanced specialists.
Additionally, with this partnership, TCS will provide its customers with tools to create modern architectures. The aim is to deliver business value using state-of-the-art cloud-native capabilities and drive modernisation at scale, which includes a clear cloud modernisation roadmap.
Further, this development would also help TCS customers access modern platforms and tools, exclusive investment models and technology betas and proof-of-concept (POC) projects.
In a statement, TCS said that the customers selected for this programme are spread globally across all verticals, particularly within the banking and financial services, life sciences, healthcare, travel, transportation, hospitality, manufacturing, automotive and communications and telecom.
Commenting on this partnership Matt Garman, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Global Services at AWS said, “We are excited to expand our strategic partnership with TCS, a globally recognised leader in IT services. Together with AWS's comprehensive suite of generative AI and modernization services, along with TCS' domain expertise and global delivery capabilities, our customers will benefit from accelerating their enterprise transformation.”
