MUMBAI, December 28, 2021: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) demonstrated the breadth and depth of its expertise on Microsoft Technologies by successfully achieving all 18 Microsoft Gold Competencies across Applications and Infrastructure, Business Applications, Data and AI, and Modern Workplace and Security.

Microsoft Competencies ensure that partners are prepared to meet customers' needs and have demonstrated best-in-class capabilities within a Microsoft solution area. To earn a Microsoft Gold Competency, partners must prove their technology experience and ensure a high standard of staffing capacity.

TCS also became the first partner to earn the Microsoft Azure VMware Solution advanced specialization — making it one of the most recognized partners in Microsoft’s ecosystem. TCS is a Preferred Member and Launch Partner for Project Cortex, including SharePoint Syntax, an Azure Stack HCI partner, and is a Member of the 2021/2022 Inner Circle for Microsoft Business Applications.
