Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Thursday announced that it has signed a multimillion-dollar strategic partnership to carry out the end-to-end IT transformation of Ramboll, a global architecture, engineering, and consultancy company headquartered in Denmark. Over the next seven years, TCS said that it will modernize and streamline Ramboll’s IT operating model to drive business growth and optimize the IT cost base.
TCS will also deliver services to manage Ramboll’s cloud and data centers, application development and maintenance, cyber security and digital workplace. This will set a digital foundation for Ramboll’s business growth, help to reduce its climate footprint, and increase scalability.
Thomas Angelius, Senior Group Director, Chief Information Officer, Ramboll, said, “Our company has experienced remarkable growth, and we are determined to see this success forward. To continue our upward trajectory, we recognized the need for a trustworthy partner who can help us build a standardized, scalable IT platform that allows for innovation, and is agile enough to foster creativity. We are thrilled to have chosen TCS, a proven expert in large-scale complex digital transformations, for this global project. With TCS as our partner, we are confident in our ability to future-proof the business and continue to deliver the excellent services our customers expect.”
Ramboll operates across 35 countries and has a revenue of more than DKK 17 billion and the company offers sustainable solutions to enterprises. Rapid growth in the past few years, including numerous mergers and acquisitions has resulted in a complex IT architecture and operations structure with unsustainable costs and little room for large-scale transformations, it said.
TCS will help reduce costs and realize economies of scale within Ramboll’s IT estate. This will be achieved by streamlining and consolidating the IT architecture and operations structure. Ramboll will also get access to the rich contextual knowledge in TCS, innovations and technologies to further strengthen its IT processes. As a part of this strategic partnership, TCS will also induct more than 300 Ramboll IT employees in 12 countries.
V Rajanna, President, Technology, Software and Services, TCS, said, “We are pleased to be selected as Ramboll’s strategic technology partner to transform its IT operating model. The partnership shall help Ramboll with a scalable, future-ready IT platform driving business agility. TCS will leverage the power of data, cloud, and analytics to help Ramboll drive intelligent business transformation and enterprise-wide growth.”
Vikram Sharma, Country Head, Denmark, TCS, said, “TCS is proud to have been trusted by Ramboll as their first-ever outsourcing partner for this multi-year and multi-phase global project. We look forward to working with Ramboll and building a flexible, agile, scalable, and secure IT and operational foundation to help take the business to the next level. This partnership marks the beginning of an exciting period of collaboration.”
