TCS to Lead Cloud Migration for Finnish Telecom Firm DNA in 5-Year Deal

 Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced a five-year partnership with DNA, one of Finland’s leading telecommunications providers, to accelerate its cloud transformation programme. 

Under the agreement, TCS will lead the migration of up to 80% of DNA’s enterprise applications to the public cloud by 2030.

Building on the successful 17-year collaboration between TCS and DNA, this partnership is designed to enhance customer experience, drive operational efficiency, and deliver significant cost optimisation.

"Cloud adoption is essential for DNA's business, as we have millions of customers and the data volume we handle is enormous. Running AI services without a cloud-based data platform is practically impossible. Our goal is to remain at the forefront of connectivity for our customers,” Jussi Tolvanen, CEO, DNA Plc, said.

As part of DNA’s broader ‘Journey to the Cloud’ programme, TCS will leverage its proprietary tools, TCS Cloud Counsel and TCS Migration Factory on Google Cloud to streamline and automate key migration processes. 

In the initial phase of the programme, more than 100 applications will be migrated to Google Cloud over the next 24 months.

To support this at scale, TCS will establish a dedicated Cloud Migration Factory at its nearshore delivery center in Portugal, ensuring efficient management of application migration and modernization.

DNA has about 3.7 million subscriptions in its fixed and mobile communications networks. DNA is a part of Telenor Group, a leading telecommunications company across the Nordics.

"TCS is a trusted partner in DNA’s cloud transformation journey, helping them become a future-ready, digital-first telecom leader in Finland. Our long-standing relationship has laid a strong foundation for this initiative, as we continue to drive innovation, efficiency, and lasting impact together," Akhilesh Tiwari, President, Communications, Media and Information Services (CMI), TCS, said.
