New Delhi, Nov. 27 -- IT firm Tata Consultancy Services has signed a five-year deal with SAP to drive enterprise-wide Cloud and generative AI transformation. Under this partnership, TCS will help SAP in streamlining its IT landscape, enabling seamless IT operations, and strengthening AI-led capabilities. This is expected to deliver faster development cycles, lower total cost of ownership, and greater alignment between IT and business goals.
The collaboration builds on a two-decade-old partnership with SAP, as part of which TCS has set up and scaled Enterprise Cloud Services (RISE with SAP). TCS has also contributed to transforming SAP's business model from license-maintenance to pay-per-use Cloud services. Over the next five years, TCS will focus on reshaping SAP's IT business function to accelerate innovation and improve responsiveness to business needs. The engagement will be based on four Centers of Excellence (CoE) for Generative AI, Business Technology Platform, Business Data Cloud, and Customer Experience. The CoE for Generative AI will drive innovation to embed GenAI capabilities and features within SAP business processes, the CoE for Business Technology Platform is designed to enable faster development of next-gen features based on low-code, no-code solutions. Further, the CoE for Business Data Cloud will help create a uniform data architecture for SAP to productise enterprise data, and the CoE for Customer Experience will identify modern strategies to evaluate customer experience across the value chain. "TCS and SAP have been a strategic partnership for more than two decades, enabling enterprises to navigate complex digital transformation journeys. We support the "SAP runs SAP" philosophy and as we enter the next phase, this collaboration shall leverage transformative potential of AI and cloud to unlock new revenue streams, accelerate business growth, and deliver differentiated experiences for enterprise and their customers globally," said V Rajanna, President, Technology, Software and Services, TCS.
