“We, TCSers, have something unique, something special,” says TCS CEO to employees in a letter.
Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. (TCS) has an edge over its peers with its deep knowledge of customers' businesses and their systems, wrote the IT outsourcer’s new chief executive officer and managing director, Rajesh Gopinathan, in a letter to more than 3,80,000 employees.
We, TCSers, have something unique, something special - a deep understanding of our customers’ business, of their systems and processes. This contextual knowledge, combined with proficiency in new technologies, will position us ahead of pure play technology or consulting companies.Rajesh Gopinathan, CEO & MD, TCS
Gopinathan wrote that the company needs to leverage on its experience to stay ahead in a “fast accelerating world” of technology, while keeping up with innovation.
“Emphatically” highlighting that “very few companies have such strength at the top as TCS”, Gopinathan said, he along with chief operating officer, NG Subramaniam will ensure “substance of momentum”and an evolving strategy.
We need to accelerate to stay a step ahead of the fast changing world. In every industry, the technology leverage is increasing and we will use our scale and expertise to drive growth. Our customers are now competing on a time horizon of weeks and days and internally, we have to do the same to stay relevant to them.Rajesh Gopinathan, CEO & MD, TCS
