Competitive Strengths
TCS has adopted a model of going into new geographies and new
service lines. ( Risk appetite is high )
In the year 2008 it made big acquisition to the tune of $512 million all
by cash to buy out Citi Global Services. This helped TCS to become
number 1 in BPO service. Recently TCS acquired CRL which would
allow it to offer more differentiated services to its global clients
Growth was led by markets like the UK and Europe, growth markets
like India, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East
performed well
Full Services Capability:TCS has been investing in building a comprehensive, integrated portfolio
of services to capture the entire value chain of IT, presenting a compelling value proposition for
global enterprises making it a one-stop shop for many key clients, significantly deepening the
relationship
Non-linear Business Models:TCS has been building non-linear growth businesses that can enable
revenue growth without commensurate headcount growth. Non-linearity in the existing businesses
comes from productivity-enhancing tools, frameworks, solution accelerators and managed services
engagements
TCS' GNDM lets them seamlessly and uniformly deliver services to global customers from
multiple locations across India, China, Europe, North America and Latin America
Teams separated by time zones collaborate on projects, leveraging all of TCS' assets while subscribing
to one global service standard
Ituses multiple levers of time zone, language, skills and local business knowledge to deliver high
quality business solutions seamlessly across the globe, using a globally connected workforce,
integrated delivery processes and multi-tiered infrastructure
This model developed by TCS is now recognized as the benchmark of excellence in software
development
For large clients expanding beyond their home markets, the scale and depth of GNDM capability
makes them their preferred strategic partner
Strategic Acquisitions
While primarily focusing on organic growth, TCS is also open to selective strategic acquisitions in order to
penetrate select markets, strengthen verticals and enhance service offerings

Strategic Partners
Large proportion of revenues from developed markets, especially the US, that are facing
economic difficulties - volatility
Lags peers and multinational rivals in high-end consulting offerings cannot go premium
Heavy exposure to banking, financial services and insurance vertical plenty of dependency
Lower outsourcing costs in neighboring South Asian markets could see contracts move away
from TCS threat of new entrants
