NEW YORK | MUMBAI, February 14, 2024: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) has been positioned as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Higher Education Cloud Professional Services[1].

According to the report, “Higher education institutions should consider TCS for cloud advisory, implementation, migration, and managed services when seeking a partner that has demonstrated a deep commitment to co-innovation in the industry, can deliver high-quality cloud services at a competitive price point while offering flexible contracting, and has very collaborative and responsive customer service and support teams.”

It goes on to say that, “Customers noted that TCS' consulting, customer, and technical support teams are highly approachable and proficient at reskilling of the workforce in adopting modern tools and technologies.” The report also noted, “TCS has strong relationships with various industry product and platform players and hyperscalers like Ellucian, Microsoft, Google, AWS, Oracle, and Salesforce.”

“TCS' cloud transformation offerings, consulting-led approach, advanced digital solutions as well as our SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, and cloud security services, are helping higher education institutions build a future-ready education ecosystem that delivers superior learning outcomes,” said Ankur Mathur, Business Unit Head, Education, TCS. “We believe our position as a Leader in this report is a reflection of our strong vision, investments in co-innovation in the education sector, and our formidable execution capabilities.”

TCS’ Education unit caters to the unique needs of this sector, helping clients significantly scale their cloud transformation programs.
