TCS Expands Partnership With Google Cloud, Launches Generative AI

Tata Consultancy Services on Wednesday (22 May) announced an expanded partnership with Google Cloud and the launch of its new offering, TCS Generative AI which leverages Google Cloud’s generative AI services, to design and deploy custom-tailored business solutions.

Building on its domain knowledge across multiple verticals and investments, TCS has developed a large portfolio of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered solutions and intellectual property in the areas of AIOps, Algo Retail, smart manufacturing, digital twins and robotics. 

The company is currently working with clients in multiple industries, to explore how generative AI can be used to deliver value in their specific business contexts, according to a company statement shared with stock exchanges on Monday. 

AIOps is the multi-layered application of big data analytics and machine learning to IT operations data. 

Generative AI is used in any algorithm/model that utilises AI to output a brand-new attribute. Right now, the most prominent example of such AI is ChatGPT.

According to a company statement, this new offering is powered by Google Cloud’s Generative AI tools – Vertex AI, Generative AI Application Builder and Model Garden, and TCS’ own solutions.

TCS will use its client-specific contextual knowledge, proven design thinking and agile development processes to ideate solutions jointly with clients, rapidly prototype the most promising ideas and build full-fledged transformation solutions with enhanced time to value.
