"This is a very strong performance by TCS. The company achieved excellent results in all KPIs and the highest score ever in the recommendation index (93%) - the KPI that measures how likely the respondents are to recommend vendors to their peers," said Jef Loos, Director at EquaTerra.
TCS has been operating in the Nordic region for over 20 years and has over 3000 consultants servicing more than 75 Nordic clients, including leading companies such as ABB.

TCS was able to successfully complete the transition from outgoing vendor in a very short period of 8 weeks with zero disruption to business activities. By using TCS' industrialized service delivery approach we are able to improve our service levels to business while reducing cost and increasing the flexibility to meet changing business demands," says Jens Nielsen, CIO at ABB, responsible for Northern Europe and Central Asia. "Most importantly, having TCS as a partner we trust them to take complete accountability of managing our IT landscape allowing me and my team to focus our efforts in partnering better with business".
