TCS wins top European award for excellence

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions firm was adjudged the “Outsourcing company of the year 2011” award at the Data News Awards for Excellence ceremony held in Brussels.

The Data News Awards are the leading award series for the Information technology (IT) and Telecom Industry in Belgium and recognizes exceptional performances by companies and individuals across 12 categories. The nominees are drawn up from a long list of contenders nominated by the editorial team which undergoes a first level selection based on online voting by readers of Datanews, after which a specialist jury of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Industry leaders decides on the final winner.

“A two phase process of having our readers (accounting for over 75% of all IT professionals in Belgium) vote on the nominees, followed by an expert jury deciding the winner ensures that the company that wins holds both a strong reputation for performance in the general market and also the respect of top CIOs and IT decision makers. TCS emerged as the clear winner, ahead of 25 other companies, a point that underscores its growing reputation in Belgium and indeed across Europe. It is also notably the first India headquartered company to ever win this award.” said Luc Blyaert, Editor-in-Chief of Datanews (a part of the Roularta Media Group).

Shankar Narayanan, Director & Head of TCS Benelux said, “This award is a landmark recognition for us in Belgium, where we have been expanding over the years it is also one of our largest operations in Europe today. It reflects the trust and confidence that TCS has built within the IT and Business community through our approach of delivery excellence, deep industry expertise and most importantly – forging long term partnerships with our clients. This recognition belongs as much to each of our clients, as it does to us.”

TCS has been operating in the Belgian market since 1992, as part of its larger Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) business unit. The Belgian operations comprises over 1100 consultants providing services to leading firms in the country including several BEL20 companies in the telecom, retail, manufacturing and financial services sectors.
