Tata Consultancy Services Limited (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) is an Indian IT services, business solutions and outsourcing company headquartered in Mumbai, India. It is the largest provider of information technology in Asia and second largest provider of business process outsourcingservices in India.[2][3] TCS has offices in over 47 countries with more than 142 branches across the globe and is a subsidiary of textiles and manufacturingconglomerate Tata Group.

-------------------------------------------------
History
It began as the "Tata Computer Centre", for the company Tata Group whose main business was to provide computer services to other group companies. F C Kohli was the first general manager. J. R. D. Tata was the first chairman, followed by Pankaj Roy.[citation needed]
One of TCS' first assignments was to provide punched card services to a sister concern, Tata Steel (then TISCO). It later bagged the country's first software project, the Inter-Branch Reconciliation System (IBRS) for the Central Bank of India.[4] It also provided bureau services to Unit Trust of India, thus becoming one of the first companies to offer BPO services.
In the early 1970s, Tata Consultancy Services started exporting its services. The company pioneered the global delivery model for IT services with its first offshore client in 1974. TCS's first international order came from Burroughs, one of the first business computer manufacturers. TCS was assigned to write code for the Burroughs machines for several US-based clients.[5] This experience also helped TCS bag its first onsite project - the Institutional Group & Information Company (IGIC), a data centre for ten banks, which catered to two million customers in the US, assigned TCS the task of maintaining and upgrading its computer systems.[5]

In 1981, TCS set up India's first software research and development centre, the Tata Research Development and Design Center (TRDDC) in Pune.[6] The first client-dedicated offshore development center was set up for Compaq (then Tandem) in 1985.
In 1979, TCS delivered an electronic depository and trading system called SECOM for SIS SegaInterSettle, Switzerland. It was by far the most complex project undertaken by an Indian IT company. TCS followed this up with System X for the Canadian Depository System and also automated the Johannesburg Stock (JSE).[7] TCS associated with a Swiss partner, TKS Teknosoft, which it later acquired.[8]
In the early 1990s, the Indian IT outsourcing industry grew tremendously due to the Y2K bug and the launch of a unified European currency, Euro. TCS pioneered the factory model for Y2K conversion and developed software tools which automated the conversion process and enabled third-party developers and clients to make use of it.[9]
In 1999, TCS saw outsourcing opportunity in E-Commerce and related solutions and set up its E-Business division with ten people. By 2004, E-Business was contributing half a billion dollars (US) to TCS.[10]
On 9 August 2004, TCS became a publicly listed company,[11] much later than its rivals, Infosys, Wipro and Mahindra Satyam.
During 2005, TCS ventured into a new area for an Indian IT services company - Bioinformatics.[12]
In 2008, the company went through an internal restructuring exercise that executives claim would bring about agility to the organization.[13]
In 2011, the company entered the Small and medium enterprises (SME) market with cloud-based offerings.[14]

Researchers at TRDDC also developed Master-Craft (now called TCS Code Generator Framework [22]) a Model Driven Development software that can automatically create code based on a model of a software, and rewrite the code based on the user's needs.[23]
Research at TRDDC has also resulted in the development of Sujal, a low-cost water purifier that can be manufactured using locally available resources. TCS deployed thousands of these filters in theIndian Ocean Tsunami disaster of 2004 as part of its relief activities.[24] This product has been marketed in India as Tata swach, a low cost water purifier.[25]
[edit]Innovation
In 2007, TCS launched its Co-Innovation Network, a network of TCS Innovation Labs, startup alliances, University Research Departments, and venture capitalists.[26]

...THE integration of CMC Ltd, which was acquired by Tata Sons earlier this year, with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is currently continuing on four to five different planes. This was stated by Mr Atul Takle, Vice-President — Corporate Communications, TCS, at an informal press meet here. According to him, the most important integration is being effected with regard to human resources. TCS is trying to incorporate its HR policies in the CMC format. The second step is being taken with regard to joint bidding for projects. Mr Takle said that sometimes both organisations were coming together and bidding jointly for a project. At other times, they were bidding separately. ``It varies from case to case. If we find that that by jointly bidding our purpose will be served, we do so. Otherwise, we bid separately. There is a constant exchange of views and flow of information among the two organisations,'' he said. A ``cultural'' integration was also on. According to Mr Takle, TCS was trying to inject its corporate and functioning culture into CMC. ``There is a wrong perception that CMC, being earlier a government organisation, lacks a modern corporate culture. This is not wholly true because CMC is made of IT professionals and they are totally aware of current corporate cultures,'' he said. TCS was also trying to initiate quality standards within CMC. ``We are also helping CMC in project delivery skills,'' he said. TCS was trying to sell CMC's business potential in the overseas...
