 "TCS signs 7-year deal to transform IT infrastructure for Denmark's Ramboll")
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has signed a multimillion-dollar strategic partnership with Ramboll, a Danish global architecture, engineering and consultancy company. TCS will carry out information technology (IT) “transformation” for the company.
TCS did not disclose the size of the deal, but analysts said it falls under the large deal category for the IT services exporter. A large deal for TCS is typically in the $100 million and above category.
The new agreement, spread over seven years, will modernise and streamline Ramboll’s IT operating model to drive business growth and optimise costs. As a part of the partnership, TCS will induct more than 300 Ramboll IT employees in 12 countries.
Thomas Angelius, senior group director and chief information officer at Ramboll, said, “Our company has experienced remarkable growth, and we are determined to see this success forward. To continue our upward trajectory, we recognised the need for a trustworthy partner who can help us build a standardised, scalable IT platform that allows for innovation, and is agile enough to foster creativity.”
TCS will provide services to manage Ramboll’s Cloud and data centres, application development and maintenance, cybersecurity, and digital Workplace. This will set a digital foundation for Ramboll’s business growth, help to reduce its climate footprint, and increase scalability.
