TCS and AWS to accelerate customers’ cloud migration and offer access to AI solutions

Tata Consultancy Services has forged a strategic alliance with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to expedite its clients' migration to the cloud. This fresh partnership aims to empower TCS in orchestrating comprehensive digital transformations for its clientele, harnessing the potential of data and AI solutions hosted on AWS infrastructure. TCS aims to equip its clients with resources to build contemporary architectures, leverage cutting-edge cloud-native features for business advancement, and undertake extensive modernization efforts.

Matt Garman, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Global Services, AWS, said, “At AWS, we are excited to expand our strategic partnership with TCS, a globally recognized 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. By upskilling 25,000 TCS professionals, we are committed to addressing the evolving needs of our customers through innovative solutions to accelerate their modernization journey.”

While cloud modernization can lend organizations next-gen capabilities, they are comprehensive and require converting, rewriting, or porting legacy systems to modern technology platforms. The initiative by TCS and AWS is focused on removing these barriers and realizing faster time-to-value. It offers customers a unique opportunity to leverage AWS’s cutting-edge technologies and TCS’ contextual knowledge and ability to build branded intellectual property (IP) on AWS. TCS is uniquely positioned to lead large-scale continuous modernization with a deep understanding of customers’ domains. This includes significant investment in industry platforms. As part of this collaboration, AWS will support TCS in upskilling and certifying 25,000 members of its workforce on AWS, creating a modernization champion team with modernization specialists.

Krishna Mohan, Deputy Head, AI.Cloud Unit, TCS, said, “We are excited about the unique value proposition that our clients will have access to, through this agreement between TCS and AWS to take advantage of TCS' contextual knowledge.. It offers an opportunity to drive significant value by accessing innovative technologies such as generative AI and modernization at scale for our clients globally. This agreement also represents the continuing progress of our strong collaboration with AWS, including being awarded the AWS Global System Integrator (GSI) Partner of the Year - Global at AWS re:Invent 2023, and we look forward to deepening our strategic ties with the hyperscaler to bring further innovation to our clients.”

This initiative reinforces the strategic ties between TCS and AWS. TCS is an AWS Premier Consulting Partner with more than a decade-old strategic partnership with the hyper scaler. TCS and AWS offer a comprehensive suite of services, including cloud migration, application modernization, data analytics, and AI-powered solutions.
