Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading global provider of IT and consultancy services, announced its partnership with SAP AG in South Africa. The agreement was signed between TCS Limited and Systems Applications Products (Africa) (Proprietary) Limited, a subsidiary of SAP.

The combination of SAP's platform innovation and TCS' pioneering Networked Delivery Model and Software Quality Excellence will provide customers in South Africa unparalleled business agility and enable them to significantly enhance the value of their IT investments. Using its proven and robust software delivery methodology, TCS has built numerous tools and proprietary assets around SAP platforms.

Speaking on the occasion, TCS EVP and Head of Global Sales and Operations, Mr. N Chandra, said - "TCS has aggressive growth plans for the Middle East and Africa regions and as part of this strategy, we want to cement our global alliances though local partnerships.
