TCS has expanded its 18-year partnership with ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation.
The partnership aims to modernise ABB’s global hosting operations, simplify its IT landscape, and strengthen its digital foundation to drive resilience and innovation.
As part of this multi-year engagement, TCS will operationalise ABB’s Future Hosting Model, a next-generation modular IT infrastructure designed to streamline systems.
This model will enable predictive operations, faster service restoration, and continuous security assurance through its AI-powered Zero Ops framework.
This extension strengthens a trusted collaboration that has already delivered significant progress for ABB.
TCS will help accelerate ABB’s Core Platform vision, which prioritises modernisation at scale, greater self-service and automation, cloud migration and agility, and orchestration and resilience.
Alec Joannou, group CIO, ABB, said, “Our extended partnership with TCS strengthens ABB’s ability to deliver value to customers. By modernising our hosting operations, we’re creating a foundation for agility, faster innovation, and improved reliability across the business.”
ABB envisions transforming the hosting landscape by leveraging state-of-the-art technologies that drive innovation and optimisation.
This transformation aims to empower its evolving business demands with enhanced flexibility, superior quality, and cost efficiency.
TCS’ AI framework will ensure business continuity and excellent service delivery across ABB’s global operations by minimising human intervention.
Anupam Singhal, president (manufacturing) of TCS, said, “At the core of this engagement lies a shared vision: technology must serve a higher purpose – to empower people, enhance agility, and drive intelligent, responsible operations.”
TCS’ managed services platform architecture will enable flexibility in ABB’s business integration needs across mergers, acquisitions, and carveouts.
Through a best-in-class, innovative environment built on a cloud-first approach and data-driven governance, TCS will help ABB reduce its carbon footprint.
Over the past 18 years, TCS has supported ABB in initiatives such as ERP implementation, cloud migration, and data centre consolidation.
The new engagement will build on the foundation laid over the last two decades to transform ABB’s infrastructure services and support service adoption to aid ABB’s next phase of growth in electrification and automation, thereby enabling faster innovation to deliver more business value.
Peter Alkema, global head of IS technology and platforms, ABB, said, “ABB is committed to building a Page 2 of 2 modular, scalable hosting service that drives agility and innovation. With TCS as our strategic partner, the Future Hosting Model strengthens this commitment and ensures operational excellence.”
TCS serves more than 350 clients through 62 offices across 21 countries in Europe.
