Mumbai, India, July 29, 2008 — Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: TCS.BO, NSE: TCS.NS), a leading global IT services, business solutions and outsourcing firm, today announced that leading industry analyst firm Gartner, Inc., rated TCS as ‘Strong Positive’ in the MarketScope for Business Intelligence and Performance Management Services, Western Europe, 2008 report.¹

Developed by Gartner analysts as an assessment of the BI and PM capabilities of service providers, the MarketScope provides specific guidance for users who are deploying, or have deployed, products or services.

“We are proud to receive the highest possible rating of ‘Strong Positive’ in the Gartner MarketScope rating framework, which we believe confirms our expertise in being a solid provider of strategic services and solutions in the BI/PM Landscape,” said Dr. Santosh Mohanty, Head, Global Technology Excellence, TCS. “We believe this is a testament to our industry-focused BIPM solutions, technology agnostic approach, and our Global Network Delivery model, which all contribute to high levels of customer satisfaction yielding our strong growth.”

TCS' BIPM practice has a holistic view of Business Intelligence and Performance Management. TCS believes that ‘Enterprise Intelligence’ will drive business outcomes if powered by process integration and business innovation. In a similar term, setting targets and meeting those targets on a consistent basis requires a complete alignment of process, performance and prediction. TCS has created a service oriented framework called “SOLAR”^© to strategize and deliver the BIPM solution for the enterprise. The SOLAR framework brings the right alignment of ‘Integration, Intelligence and Innovation’ and ‘Process, Performance and Prediction’.
