TCS Expands 18-Year Partnership with ABB to Build AI-Powered, Future-Ready IT Infrastructure

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has expanded its 18-year partnership with ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation, to modernise ABB’s global hosting operations and strengthen its digital backbone for innovation and resilience.

Under this multi-year deal, TCS will implement ABB’s Future Hosting Model — a modular, AI-powered IT infrastructure designed for predictive operations, faster service restoration, and enhanced security through its Zero Ops framework.

The move will help ABB accelerate its Core Platform vision focused on modernisation at scale, self-service, automation, cloud agility, and resilience.

“Our extended partnership with TCS strengthens ABB’s ability to deliver value to customers. By modernising our hosting operations, we’re creating a foundation for agility, faster innovation, and improved reliability across the business,” said Alec Joannou, Group CIO, ABB.

“At the core of this engagement lies a shared vision: technology must serve a higher purpose – to empower people, enhance agility, and drive intelligent, responsible operations. Together, we embark on a transformative journey to build a platform-driven core that will unlock unprecedented levels of efficiency, autonomy, and innovation for ABB’s global business,” Anupam Singhal, President, Manufacturing, TCS, added.

TCS’ AI-driven managed services will ensure minimal human intervention, improved efficiency, and sustainability through a cloud-first, data-driven approach. The partnership will also support ABB’s business integration across mergers and acquisitions while reducing its carbon footprint.

Peter Alkema, Global Head of IS Technology and Platforms, ABB, said, “ABB is committed to building a modular, scalable hosting service that drives agility and innovation. With TCS as our strategic partner, the Future Hosting Model strengthens this commitment and ensures operational excellence.”
