TATA Consultancy Services Ltd. (TCS), a Mumbai-based multinational company specializing in information technology services and consulting, recently opened its TCS Pace Studio in Manila to ramp up digital innovation in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

This facility is designed for TCS to co-innovate with customers to develop tailored solutions for their unique business needs, boosting digital innovation in the Asia-Pacific region, TCS said in a statement on Aug. 27.

Located within the Panorama Tower in Bonifacio Global City, the TCS Pace Studio will showcase platforms, such as TCS AI WisdomNext, TCS TwinX, and TCS Zero Carbon Platform, that leverage artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and data analytics.

This was the firm’s fifth Pace Studios globally, including those in Riyadh, Sydney, Letterkenny, and Stockholm, along with seven Pace Ports in Tokyo, Amsterdam, New York, Pittsburgh, Toronto, London, and Paris.

“TCS Pace Studio is the gateway to a world of possibilities for our customers. It gives them access to TCS’ extensive research and innovation ecosystem, facilitating the development of novel solutions across diverse disciplines,” said Harrick Vin, chief technology officer at TCS.

The firm said that this investment underscores TCS’s commitment to the Philippines and the burgeoning APAC market.

With the country’s skilled talent pool, cost-effective operations, and strategic location, it presents a compelling value proposition for global businesses, TCS said.

The Philippine TCS Pace Studio will deliver various services, such as consulting, design, and implementation, facilitating clients in exploring new ideas, creating demonstrations, and refining their strategies.

TCS began operations in 2008 in the country and grew to more than 5,000 employees supporting customers in telecommunications, banking and finance, real estate, and airlines. — Aubrey Rose A. Inosante
