Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on December 12 announced that it has signed a five-year extension of partnership with the second largest mobile operator in the Danish market, Telenor Denmark (TnDK), to provide ITIS managed services, and handle IT infrastructure from its delivery centre in Europe.

This indicates signs of demand recovery for the IT services major in the telecom space, which had slowed down in the past quarters.

In the previous six years, TCS had deployed its machine first delivery model to modernise the IT infrastructure of the telecom operator. TnDK serves over 1.6 million subscribers.

In this extended deal, TCS will also deploy automation technologies to continue delivering operational cost reductions and improved IT infrastructure. TCS will also leverage its extensive experience managing TnDK’s infrastructure to enhance digital assets, including advanced automation solutions.

Over the past 25-plus years, TCS has engaged with over 160 telecom companies across the globe. It has 35,000 dedicated resources for the vertical worldwide. TCS serves five of the top 10 global telecom operators, four of the top six European operators and six of the top seven North American operators, the company said.

Louise Haurum, Chief Technology Officer, Telenor Denmark, said, “Our partnership with TCS has been an important factor in driving innovation and ensuring resilience in our IT infrastructure. By continuing our collaboration, we are confident that TCS will continue to deliver the strategic insights and technological expertise required to navigate the complexities of our evolving business environment.”

Vikram Sharma, Country Head – Denmark, TCS, added, “Telenor is one of Denmark’s largest telecom companies helping to connect people and businesses easy and securely. Communication is a key critical infrastructure, and we are proud to have been trusted by Telenor Denmark over the next five years to ensure a resilient and automated IT environment.”
