Tata Consultancy Services started
in 1968. Mr.F.C Kohli who is presently the
Deputy Chairman was entrusted with the job of
steering TCS. The early days marked TCS resonsibility in managing
the punch card operations of Tisco. The company, which was into
management consultancy from day one, soon felt the need to provide
solutions to its clients as well.TCS was the first Indian company to
make forays into the US market with clients ranging from
IBM, American Express, Sega
etc. TCS is presently the top software services firm in
Asia.
During the Y2K buildup, TCS
had setup a Y2K factory in Chennai as a
short-term strategy. Now, with E-business being
the buzzword, the factory is developing solutions for the dotcom
industries. Today, about 90 percent of TCS' revenue comes from
consulting, while the rest from
products. TCS has great training facilities. In
addition to training around 5 percent of the revenue is spent upon
its R&D centers like the Tata Research Design and Development
Centre at Pune, along with a host of other centers at Mumbai and
Hyderabad.
It benchmarked its quality standing, invested
heavily in software engineering practices and built intellectual
property-in terms of patents, code
and branded products. At the same
time, it expanded its relationships with technology partners and
organizations, increased linkages with academic
institutions and incubated technologies and ideas of people
within TCS and outside. TCS has already patented 12
E-Commerce solution product packages and has filed
six more applications for patent
licenses.
Over $25 million were spent on enhancing hardware
and software infrastructure. The company now has 72
offices worldwide. As many as seven centers were assessed
at SEI CMM Level 5 last year(3.4 mistakes in a
million opportunities). These include Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore,
Calcutta, Hyderabad and Lucknow. Several business and R&D
