In addition to deep domain expertise, contextual knowledge and extensive portfolio of intellectual property, investments made in the last few years in user experience design studios, collaborative workspaces, and innovation centers across the world showcasing outcomes of a highly successful research programs, have helped TCS quickly gain leadership in the digital space.
Execution capability has been significantly boosted by large investments in reskilling the workforce in newer technologies and delivery models. In FY17, over 215,000 employees underwent training in digital technologies, acquiring over 598,000 competencies.
Earlier this year, TCS signaled the achievement of critical mass in digital technology services by launching new business groups targeting individual components of the digital service stack – such as Internet of Things, Big Data analytics, AI, Blockchain, Cloud and Automation.
“The creation of multiple digital service groups and a Consulting and Service Integration practice is making a big difference, systematically bringing together our domain expertise, contextual knowledge, innovation and digital expertise to seamlessly deliver superior transformational outcomes that our customers value,” added Krishnan.
