TCS Extends Partnership with Weatherford International to Enable AI-Driven Business Transformation

 Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has secured a five-year renewal and expansion of its contract with Weatherford International, a multinational oilfield service company headquartered in North America.

Under this extended agreement, TCS will leverage its expertise in automation, artificial intelligence, and digital optimization to drive enterprise-wide business transformation initiatives for Weatherford.

TCS plans to introduce advanced AI-driven solutions to streamline Weatherford’s finance and accounting processes, reduce costs, and improve scalability.

Additionally, TCS’ advisory capabilities will support Weatherford in simplifying workflows, fostering innovation, and enabling outcome-based strategies aimed at maximising agility and long-term financial resilience.

This renewed collaboration builds on seven years of a trusted partnership, during which TCS spearheaded transformative improvements in shared services. Notably, these efforts have resulted in around 50% reduction in Weatherford’s total cost of ownership across mission-critical operations.

By leveraging TCS’ expertise, we aim to enhance scalability, foster innovation, and ensure sustainable growth while reinforcing our commitment to delivering unmatched value to our customers."

Moving forward, TCS will expand its role to include strategic transformation advisory services, while ensuring the alignment of operations with Weatherford’s digital excellence journey.

By integrating cutting-edge technologies and offering tailored solutions, TCS aims to empower Weatherford to optimize its resources, adapt to evolving market demands, and achieve sustainable growth.

“TCS has successfully implemented transformative strategies, leveraging its industry-leading AI-driven automation and process optimization capabilities to consistently enhance operational efficiency. These efforts have delivered around 50% cumulative reduction in Weatherford’s total cost of ownership across critical shared service domains, underscoring the efficacy of our strategic partnership and technology-driven interventions,” Debashis Ghosh, President and Business Group Head of Lifesciences, Healthcare, Energy & Resources, Utilities and Public Services (US), TCS, said.
