The company has responded to the emergence of newer technologies and growing customer investments in them, with newer offerings such as Agile/DevOps Transformation Consulting, VR/AR Assurance, Video and Infotainment Systems Assurance, and Industry-Specific Digital Assurance. With functional assurance constituting the largest part of customers’ assurance spending, TCS’ domain expertise across multiple industry verticals has become a key differentiator.
