NEW DELHI: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global software solutions
and consulting services company and Racal Instruments Ltd., UK, provider
of digital cellular test equipment world-wide, have signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) for establishing a dedicated Software Development
Center (SDC) for Racal Instruments. The development center will be based
at the TCS offshore development center in New Delhi.
The alliance, which will further strengthen the three-year relationship of
the two companies, will fetch TCS revenues of over $15 million over the
next three years.
Presently, more than 60 TCS consultants are providing services to Racal
Instruments in Burnham (UK), Irvine (USA) and New Delhi (India). The
relationship with TCS has enabled Racal Instruments to reduce development
and support costs and launch new products faster.
The TCS-Racal Instruments relationship began in July 1998, with TCS being
the first India based IT services company to be awarded a project by Racal
Instruments. Since then, TCS has provided product development and support
services to Racal in the UK, US, China, Germany and India. TCS is
providing these solutions for use in Racal Instruments' high-end wireless
telecommunication products employing technologies including 3G UMTS,
CDMA2000, GPRS and EDGE.
Commenting on the development center for Racal, P Vandrevala, executive
vice president, TCS said, ""We'll be bringing more proven,
leading-edge technologies and delivery capabilities to Racal. The
dedicated site in Delhi is a major development but it's important to note
that we work onsite as well as offshore with the Racal team. TCS is
excited at this expansion of our relationship and we'll be focused on
delivering on our commitments."
