Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) announced an expanded partnership with Google Cloud, launching ‘TCS Generative AI’, which leverages Google Cloud’s generative artificial intelligence services to design and deliver customized business solutions.
This new offering is powered by Google Cloud’s generative artificial intelligence tools – Vertex AI, Generative AI Application Builder and Model Garden, as well as TCS proprietary solutions. Tata Consultancy Services has developed a large portfolio of AI-powered solutions and intellectual property in the fields of AIOps, Algo Retail, Smart Manufacturing, Digital Twins and Robotics.
The company said it is currently working with clients across industries to explore how generative artificial intelligence can be used to add value in their specific business contexts.
During an interaction with IANS, Krishnan Ramanujam, President, Enterprise Growth Group, Tata Consultancy Services, said, “Our launch partnership with Google Cloud on generative AI enables us to rapidly create value for our customers. TCS is investing in assets, frameworks, and talent to harness the power of generative AI to enable growth and transformation for our customers.”
These joint exercises will leverage TCS Pace Ports, the company’s co-innovation hubs in New York, Pittsburg, Toronto, Amsterdam and Tokyo, where clients can also collaborate with academic researchers and start-up partners from TCS’ broader innovation ecosystem.
Tata Consultancy Services has over 25,000 Google Cloud certified engineers. Additionally, TCS has over 50,000 employees trained in AI and plans to earn 40,000 Google Cloud Generative AI skill badges within the year.
“TCS and Google Cloud will help address industry-specific challenges and opportunities with generative artificial intelligence capabilities and solutions, with a focus on addressing real-world use cases and adding business value,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, Vice President, Global Partner Ecosystems and Channels, Google Cloud.
