Key Findings & Highlights:
TCS has provided EDW, analytics, and big data services since 1997, initially through its Business Intelligence practice. In 2013, it launched its Analytics and Insights (A&I) practice. A&I is a horizontal service line with P&L and delivery responsibility.
TCS had initially put A&I under its Digital Enterprise Services and Solutions unit, which grouped together mobile apps, social media, digital marketing, cloud computing, AI and robotics, IoT, e-commerce, big data, and information management.
However, at the start of FY18, TCS made a change in its organizational structure at the group level, and brought the following three groups together into Business and Technology Services:
- Digital Transformation Services group: new practices focusing on various elements of the digital service stack, e.g. cybersecurity, enterprise application services, enterprise intelligent automation, digital interactive, cloud, analytics, and IoT
- Cognitive Business Operations: includes the BPS and IT infrastructure businesses
- Consulting and Systems Integration.
At the same time, other established service practices that have reached scale (including some industry-specific BPS businesses and the engineering services unit) were carved out and merged into the Industry Solution unit structure, enabling these vertical units to have a more integrated portfolio.
Along with the organizational changes of FY18, A&I has gone through a perimeter change, with the transfer of TCS' data consulting capabilities from Consulting, and the transfer of its business analytics capabilities from TCS' BPS organization.
