TCS to Establish Four Centers of Excellence for Gen AI and Cloud; Locks 5-Year SAP Deal to Transform IT Landscape

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is setting up four Centers of Excellence dedicated to advancing Generative AI (Gen AI) and cloud capabilities. These centers are aimed at fostering innovation, accelerating AI adoption, and empowering clients with scalable AI-driven solutions. Employees will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI tools through immersive environments like the AI Experience Zone, which promotes collaboration and experimentation on Gen AI applications.

In parallel, TCS has expanded its longstanding partnership with SAP in a significant 5-year deal. This collaboration focuses on enabling enterprise-wide transformation by leveraging Generative AI and cloud technologies under SAP’s RISE with SAP framework. TCS will build a centralized ecosystem to facilitate cloud adoption, streamline service management, and elevate end-user experiences for SAP customers globally.

The partnership also includes launching an Innovation Council to drive AI democratization, automation, and scalable innovation, supported by TCS’s global innovation network, including its Pace Ports.
