Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, announced today that it has been recognized as a ‘Leader’ in NelsonHall’s December 2013 NEAT vendor evaluation for Retail Banking Business Process Outsourcing (Core Banking, Mortgage/Loan, and Payments market segments).
NelsonHall positioned TCS as a “Leader” based on the company’s experience with global banking clients, its major presence in retail banking BPO; its broad retail banking BPO capabilities in mortgages, cards and deposits; and, its established onshore delivery presence. In addition, the report recognized TCS’ custom banking platform, TCS BaNCS, as a useful tool for small and mid-tier banks, as well as tier one banks in emerging markets. These findings were generated from a comprehensive analysis and assessment by NelsonHall of TCS’ ability to deliver immediate benefit to its customers and its ability to meet future customer requirements. In addition, TCS’ customers were interviewed and questioned for measurements of levels of partnership.
“TCS provides a powerful combination of platform and process based retail banking BPO services,” said Andrew Efstathiou, Director, Banking Sourcing Program, NelsonHall. “When partnering with TCS, clients felt as though they had access to consultants who are capable of executing against immediate demands while developing a clear roadmap for further improvements.”
“We are honored to be recognized by NelsonHall as a leader in the Retail Banking BPO market,” said Abid Ali Neemuchwala, Global Head, Business Process Services at TCS. “We see this recognition as a testament to our team’s ability to help meet the strategic business objectives of our clients. Our investments in domain expertise and technology platforms, coupled with our portfolio of delivery options across TCS’ Global Network Delivery Model (GNDM™) offers global banks a strong platform to help transform their operations.”
As a result of the global financial crisis, the retail banking industry has evolved and is looking for a long-term change in operational delivery from localized risk-based product delivery (proprietary offers) to standardized transaction-based service delivery (flow business). The industry is looking to companies like TCS, who offer industry domain knowledge, a robust delivery mechanism (GNDM™) and technology (BaNCS Platforms) to enable them to manage their operations in more effective and efficient ways.
NelsonHall’s Evaluation & Assessment Tool (NEAT) is a method by which strategic sourcing managers can evaluate outsourcing vendors and is part of NelsonHall's Speed-to-Source initiative. The NEAT tool sits at the front-end of the vendor screening process and consists of a two-axis model: assessing vendors against their ‘ability to deliver immediate benefit’ to buy-side organizations and their ‘ability to meet client future requirements’. The latter axis is a pragmatic assessment of the vendor's ability to take clients on an innovation journey over the lifetime of their next contract. The service providers are divided into four categories: Leaders, High Achievers, Innovators and Major Players.

Views on TCS results: Dipen Shah, Head-Private Client Group Research, Kotak Securities

Perspective on TCS results: Dipen Shah, Head of Private Client Group Research, Kotak Securities
“TCS results beat expectations on revenues as well as margins. The 7.3% volume growth was significantly above expectations and also much above the growth reported by Infosys.
The consistent high volume growth reported by TCS for the past several quarters reflects effective demand generation initiatives and efficient execution. The company has been able to effectively identify opportunities in a volatile macro environment and has been able to provide an integrated services approach to clients.”

TCS Reveals Key Cross-Sector STEM Insights as “Voice of Corporate America”
Tata Consultancy Services (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, today, announced the results of its mapping analysis of STEMconnector®’s recent “100 CEO Leaders in STEM” publication, a first-of-its-kind survey of 100 American CEOs reflecting the corporate voice of America on important STEM issues. During a live CEO panel organized by STEMconnector® on September 25, Balaji Ganapathy, Head of Workforce Effectiveness, TCS North America, unveiled that the top focus areas for most CEOs were technology and innovation as key growth drivers, diversity and women in STEM fields, and the importance of these factors for the US economy and competitiveness as a nation.
“There is no doubt that a nation that is technologically savvy will inevitably have a competitive edge,” said N Chandrasekaran, CEO and Managing Director, TCS. “As we become more ‘digital’ as a society, not only does STEM education lead to technology-led innovations, but also increased competitiveness and productivity of a country. Future job growth will be in STEM disciplines, and a nation aspiring to be a global leader can use STEM education as a perfect platform for economic growth and prosperity.”
TCS’ Connected Marketing Solutions team analyzed and mined the most emphasized CEO responses in STEMconnector’s report to reveal further insightful trends, challenges and recommended solutions. Across numerous industries, the top three areas of cross-sector CEO consensus included the following:
41 percent feel that it is important to train young students and professionals in STEM education to meet critical future US workforce needs
40 percent strongly support the STEM education of women and underrepresented minorities
35 percent feel that technical training innovation is essential for economic growth and competitive advantage in the global marketplace
The top five commitments from the 100 CEOs – representing a combined revenue of more than $3.27 trillion and 7.6 million employees – to increase STEM participation including the following:
Understand and train for critical STEMS skills and experiences their organizations need to succeed.
Invest in STEM education with public and private organizations, establishing mentorships and apprenticeships.
Increase employees’ awareness of STEM challenges and establish cross-departmental alignment on STEM company initiatives.
Encourage them to get involved with STEM initiatives outside of work to help motivate future STEM employees.
Change perceptions within their communities by educating students, teachers, career counselors and parents about the various and promising career opportunities requiring STEM skills.
“The role of technology and innovation as a prime driver of US growth in STEM was a powerful insight, validating our prior outlook,” said Surya Kant, President, North America, UK and Europe, TCS. “The commitment of the 100 CEOs and the cross-sector consensus shows how deeply they feel about the issue of educating our youth, and inclusion of women and minorities in STEM. We need several corporate leaders to answer the call-to-action, identify existing best practices for in-school and out-of-school programs, and make the commitment to use their core competencies and resources to bridge the US STEM gap.”
“It is all about CEO commitment. We are collectively humbled by the caliber of the thoughtful insight. We must all take a collective action to ensure America’s youth and workforce are equipped with the STEM skills needed to compete in the global market economy,” said Edie Fraser, CEO, STEMconnector®.
TCS put its Connected Marketing Solution’s Voice of Customer Analytics (VoCA) Platform to work, using text-mining algorithms to analyze each of the 100 CEOs’ responses, categorize them and extract key phrases, themes and opinions. Patterns, metrics and graphical summaries were identified to provide clear views of the CEOs’ perspectives, sentiment, satisfaction, expectations and potential actions. In partnership with STEMconnector®, TCS has published these insights and analysis in a white paper on its website at on.tcs.com/STEM100CEOTalk.
In September, TCS summarized the key issues and potential solutions to address STEM workforce issues, following the “Computer Science Executive Round Table” that it hosted in partnership with STEMconnector®. This dynamic event held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC brought together executives, government officials and thought leaders sharing a common cause: increasing students’ interest and participation in Computer Science (CS), advocating for stronger educational policy and implementing programs that will effectively excite and prepare students for computer science careers. The event was designed to assess the current status of CS education and careers at a national and state level, and then create a blueprint to address the key issues through cross-sector collaboration.
TCS also recently completed the fifth year of TCS goIT, its own multi-tiered program engaging students, parents, universities and local government in competitions to increase excitement in STEM and technology-related careers. The program is now expanding to cover 10 cities in the US and Toronto, Canada.
