Tata Consulting Services named Latin American company of the year

At the Nexus Illuminate Awards held in San Fransisco last week, Tata Consulting Services, the global IT services, consulting and business solutions firm, won the top prize for its nearshoring services.

Tata Consulting Services (TCS) began its operations in Brazil in the early 1990’s and has since grown have over 8,000 professionals across the Latin America. Today, the firm boasts offices in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay which provide an extensive range of professional and nearshoring services for their global partners in United States, Europe and beyond.

Having expanded steadily for the past two decades, the consulting firm’s Latin American business leads the way among developing markets. TCS’s strategy for the region is to focus on building its technology advisory services offerings as well as further introducing it’s automation and digital capabilities to the Latin markets. 

The firm has one of the largest nearshoring presences in Latin America and is increasingly offering Technology 4.0 solutions including big data, analytics, mobile, IoT, AI, RPA and cloud migration services. Notably TCS has helped put Queretaro and Guadalajara in Mexico and Montevideo, Uruguay on the nearshoring radar. 

TCS has been on a path to solidify their presence across the region by growing with their clients and industries within which they work as well. The firm has been involved in a push to train just under 200,000 STEM professionals across Latin America and has been at the forefront of the push to digitalise Latin economies. TCS has also opened a new center in Brazil with space for 4,000 professionals and was recently rated as Latin America’s top employer for the fourth year running.

"We have been growing steadily year over year in the region, because we have established a solid team and continue to digitally train our workforce and recruit new talent in the eight countries from which we operate," added Marcelo Wurmann, CEO of TCS Latin America.

"We will continue to invest in the region and our Business 4.0 framework, where digital technologies such as cloud, automation, agility, business intelligence, and robotics are having a significant impact in our clients' businesses and act as key competitive differentiators,” he continued. 

“This award is the result of our commitment to offer a high level of value from our operations in Latin America to our global clients in their digital transformation journeys towards becoming a Business 4.0 enterprise," said Rajeev Gupta, Director of Latin America Nearshore Operations at Tata Consultancy Services. "We are honored to be recognized at the 2018 Nexus Illuminate awards, which celebrate the work of a rapidly evolving industry.”

The Nexus Illuminate Awards is one of the premier conferences for the connection and promotion of nearshoring activities. The Nexus conference is held by Nearshore Americas, a business publication and platform for the American nearshoring industry.
