According to Everest Group’s report, TCS has made credible investments in building a comprehensive portfolio of Al services, underpinned by strategic investments in developing domain-specific platforms and solutions such as Optumera and OmniStore. The report also mentions that TCS has taken a proactive, ante-hoc approach to explainability, wherein it embeds explainability as a part of its engagements, as is evidenced in its case studies as well.

Another strength point of TCS recognized in the report was its engagement with several academic institutions to undertake joint research initiatives for identifying potential applications of Al. Additionally, the report also highlighted TCS’ culture of continuous learning for Al, underpinned by its Al talent framework.

In a statement published by TCS, Dinanath Kholkar, the Global Head of Analytics and Insights, said, “Using its deep domain knowledge, TCS has been helping customers take a business centric approach to harnessing the power of AI, providing a comprehensive roadmap for data modernization and deployment of analytics, insights and automation.

Moreover, by embedding explainability in its AI engagements, TCS is also looking to promote greater AI trust and transparency.
