  • By IT domain: #1 in all IT domains – application development, maintenance, and testing; data center, managed infrastructure, and hosting; and end-user services

“We pride ourselves on our customer-centric approach, so it is heartening to receive this recognition from our European customers. It is a testament not only to our dedication to them but also to our investments in innovation, our comprehensive portfolio of intellectual property, and the commitment of our fantastic employees,” said Sapthagiri Chapalapalli, Head, TCS Europe. “The pandemic and its aftermath have been challenging for all of us for various reasons, but there are also positives to be taken away from the experience. Our Secure Borderless Workspaces™ model not only helped customers keep their mission-critical operations running, but also accelerated their transformational journeys while ensuring the safety of their workforces and ours. This has brought us closer to our customers, further strengthening our mutual trust and deepening our relationships.”

“TCS has been a Takeda partner for four years and has supported our digital transformation initiatives for the last 18 months,” said Hansjoerg Magalhaes, Global Product Manager, ERP Commercial & Supply, Takeda. “During Takeda’s ‘EDGE’ (Enhanced Digital Global Experience) project, which connects service innovation and cutting-edge digital technologies with a factory development model, we have enjoyed a true end-to-end partnership with TCS that has enabled us to take advantage of their in-depth domain knowledge, including design innovation, business consulting, product strategy, and technology implementation. Based on our experience with TCS, we are not surprised they have ranked number one once again in the Whitelane Client Satisfaction Survey. Well deserved!”

Driving such a profound transformation in our complex, vital organization is very impressive. They very much deserved this important recognition in customer satisfaction.”
