Tata Consultancy Services' Consulting-led Approach, Proprietary Solution – Cognix™ for Procurement, and End-to-End Procurement Offerings, Were Highlighted as Key Strengths
LONDON | MUMBAI, September 02, 2021: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading global IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, has been recognized as a Leader in the NelsonHall NEAT for Procurement Transformation[1].
According to the report, TCS looks to continue driving procurement engagements with a consulting-led approach while investing in digital to support future growth. TCS was recognized for its range of proprietary source-to-pay tools, as well as its experience in applying RPA in the procure-to-pay function and buying channel selection. Highlighted as a key strength was its proprietary cognitive procurement solution – TCS Cognix™ for Procurement – with a focus on enhancing the user experience. Additionally, it highlighted TCS’ potential to cross-sell procurement to other enterprise business services clients with further opportunities created by the launch of Cognix plug-and-play solutions.
“To meet changing consumer demands, manage supply volatility and drive cost and sustainability objectives, enterprises need to digitally reimagine their procurement operations, leveraging an AI-driven human-machine paradigm to deliver resilient supply networks, consolidate strategic spends and gain deep operational insights,” said Ashok Pai, Global Head, Cognitive Business Operations, TCS. “Our Leadership position in this assessment is a recognition of our vision, strategy and investments aimed at developing future-ready and differentiated offerings and our demonstrated ability to deliver superior business outcomes for our customers.”
TCS offers a comprehensive portfolio of consulting-led procurement solutions across the source-to-pay value chain covering spend management, strategic sourcing and category management, contract management, supplier management, master data management, and transactional procurement. TCS’ large team of global procurement experts leverages its strong advisory and technology services, contextual knowledge of the customer’s business, and proprietary solutions such as TCS Cognix, an AI-driven human-machine collaboration suite, to drive procurement transformations for enterprises.
Cognix for Procurement, powered by TCS’ Machine First™ Delivery Model (MFDM™), unlocks the immense value that lies at the intersection of business process, IT infrastructure, and applications layer. It contextualizes solutions by harnessing knowhow from the vast expanse of customer operations. Cognix for Procurement accelerates the digital transformation journey of CPOs using an ecosystem of pre-built, configurable, and reusable digital solutions called Value Builders to address their specific business imperatives of agility, predictability, spends optimization, supply assurance and sustainability. Some examples of Value Builders include Spend Analyzer, Interactive CPO Visualizer, Touchless Master Data Manager and Price Variance Analyzer.
In addition, TCS offers ignio™ Cognitive Procurement and TAP™ to help digitally transform the procurement function. These are also available as part of the Cognix suite. ignio Cognitive Procurement leverages AI/ML to bring speed and scale to the procurement process, enabling enterprises to deeply understand procurement behavior, monitor purchase transactions in the background, and make smarter purchase decisions faster.
TCS TAP helps organizations adopt agile sourcing with smart procurement, automate intelligently, engage suppliers, and make changes flexibly. TAP offers one integrated solution to enable modern sourcing practices, full contract lifecycle, supplier performance management, catalog-based requisitions, PO-based buying, supplier collaboration, and end-to-end invoice management including intelligent capture, auto-matching, exception routing, approvals, and payment processing.
