Indian multinational information technology service and consulting company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and U.S. technology major IBM have expanded their global alliance to accelerate digital and cognitive enterprise transformations for their global clients, a TCS statement said Thursday.

As part of the relationship, TCS will establish an IBM Enterprise Cloud Architecture Unit, which will include technical professionals from both companies to co-develop solutions to help clients migrate workloads across applications, analytics, data estate and platforms using IBM Cloud Paks, enterprise-ready containerized software solutions running on Red Hat OpenShift, an open source container application platform.

"TCS has been partnering with leading corporations in their growth and transformation journeys, helping them accelerate their application modernization and cloud migration initiatives with its Machine First approach," said Raman Venkatraman, global head of HiTech and Professional Services Industry Unit of TCS.

The new IBM Enterprise Cloud Architecture Unit will further reiterate TCS' commitment to cloud-led digital transformation by helping clients address complex business problems across industries. The clients including financial services, insurance, telecommunication, manufacturing, retail and healthcare will be able to migrate, manage and transform their enterprise workloads and applications on the IBM public cloud, the statement said.
