TCS-ABB AI network deal

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and ABB have expanded their 20-year partnership with a multi-million, multi-year deal to transform ABB's global network operations. Under the agreement, TCS will move from managing infrastructure and applications to delivering end-to-end global network operations through an integrated network-as-a-service model, with AI-driven automation at its core. The engagement is part of ABB's Future Network Model programme, an enterprise-wide initiative to standardise and centrally manage its digital infrastructure across about 110,000 employees worldwide. TCS will design, integrate, and run ABB's global network ecosystem, orchestrate multi-vendor environments, and provide end-to-end monitoring and orchestration. The deal builds on previous collaborations including ERP consolidation onto SAP and cloud transformation. Financial terms were not disclosed.
