TCS wins 5-year IT deal from Volkswagen

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest software exporter, today said that it has won a five-year contract to provide IT services to Volkswagen Group UK, a unit of Volkswagen AG. The company has not disclosed the value size of the contract.

“In this challenging environment, organizations are looking to increase efficiency and flexibility in order to stay competitive,” said A S Lakshminarayanan, vice president and head of Europe, TCS.

“By helping Volkswagen Group UK consolidate their IT system onto a single platform, and harness the power of our Global Network Delivery Model, we are not only streamlining their infrastructure, but also their wider business processes,” he said.

Volkswagen makes passenger cars under Audi, Skoda and other brand name besides making heavy commercial vehicles. Handling of a recent crisis of power outage at the head office of the company helped TCS clinch the deal. “We couldn’t have better proof that we are in sage hands with TCS,” said Nick Gaines, group information systems director, Volkswagen Group UK.
