Tata Consultancy Services

The company

The Tata Group is India’s largest conglomerate, its business spanning from hotels and tea to steel and energy. This giant consists of 96 operating companies which generate revenue of £10.4 billion. Tata’s started in consulting in 1968. Its consulting division, TCS, reported 2006-07 global revenues of £2.1 billion. With almost 100,000 employees in 47 countries, TCS is the biggest Asian software and IT services company and a leader in offshoring.

Careers at TCS

TCS’s marketing keyword is Certainty, and also Trust. This shows a company that, although global, nurtures conservative Indian values. Consultants working in TCS will find that stability, commitment and hard work are highly valued. A programme called Maitree aims to connect the families of the employees with the firm. TCS recruits heavily from the universities it has strategic alliances with – mostly in India but also in the USA. Experienced hires often enter TCS on levels higher than those they had in the company they are coming from.

TCS’s organisational structure

TCS offers the following eight areas of service: Application Development and Maintenance, Business Intelligence & Performance Management, Business Process Outsourcing, Engineering and Industrial Services, Enterprise Solutions (CRM, ERP, SCM), IT Consulting, IT Infrastructure Services, and Testing and Quality Assurance. The industries TCS works with are divided like this: Banking, Energy and Utility, Financial Services, Life Sciences and Health Care, Insurance, Securities trading system, Manufacturing, Telecommunications, Retail and Consumer goods, Transportation, and Government.

The perspective

TCS is experiencing rapid growth: it grew by one fourth in 2006 only. It is breaking all sorts of revenue records for Indian companies, mostly thanks to the global demand for outsourcing/offshoring. Although India-based, TCS has strong presence in North America and Europe (UK being one if its current focuses), and continues to recruit aggressively. TCS is a place of strong momentum, a big player that’s getting top contracts. In fact, it serves seven of the Fortune 500 top-ten companies. TCS is investing into strategy by series of acquisitions, but it still remains, like Indian consultancies in general, IT/outsourcing focussed. The company announced it will concentrate on products, BPO, infrastructure, engineering services and consulting, on expense of application development and maintenance (so far the biggest contributors to TCS’s revenue).
