Top Analyst Firm Positions TCS in the Leaders Quadrant for Oracle Outsourcing North America

MUMBAI, India, December 7, 2009: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: TCS.BO, NSE: TCS.NS), a leading global IT services, business solutions and outsourcing firm, today announced that it has been positioned by a leading industry analyst firm, Gartner, Inc. TCS has been positioned in the leaders quadrant in the recently published ‘Magic Quadrant for Oracle Outsourcing, North America’ report.(Gartner “Magic Quadrant for Oracle Outsourcing, North America,” by Ben Pring, November 2009)

Developed by Gartner analysts as an evaluation of the Oracle application outsourcing services in the North American market, the Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors on their completeness of vision and ability to execute.

Gartner analyzed 15 providers across North America, and according to the report, “Leaders provide offerings that meet demand, as well as demonstrate the vision necessary to sustain their position as requirements evolve in the Oracle outsourcing market. The hallmark of leaders is that they focus on and invest in their offerings to the point that they lead the market and can affect its overall direction. As a result, leaders can become the vendors to watch as you try to understand how new offerings might evolve. Leaders typically possess a satisfied customer base and enjoy high visibility within the market. Their size and financial strength enable them to remain viable in a challenging economy. Leaders typically respond to a wide market audience by supporting broad market requirements, including delivering across all aspects of Oracle outsourcing. However, they may fail to meet the specific needs of more-specialized segments.”

“We are pleased to be recognized as a leader for Oracle solutions by Gartner,” said Sridhar Bakshi, Global Head, Oracle Center of Excellence, Tata Consultancy Services. “In an evolving business landscape, we help customers leverage Oracle solutions not just to adapt, but predict change and respond proactively. In my opinion, our position in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Oracle Outsourcing in North America underscores our ability to enable our customers to ‘Experience Certainty’ and to help them succeed in a challenging economic environment.”
