NEW YORK | MUMBAI, April 20, 2020: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a leading global IT services, consulting, and business solutions organization, and Amway, a global leader in direct selling, have entered into a strategic partnership to transform the latter’s global technology operations.

Amway was looking to transform its IT infrastructure and operations and its global service desk in order to improve agility, accelerate speed to market, and enhance customer experience.

Additionally, TCS will promote agile working methods and standardize operating procedures to enable greater agility and accelerate Amway’s transformation journey.

“We see transforming our IT operations as key to accelerating growth and enhancing our end user experience. TCS impressed us with its domain knowledge of the retail and consumer goods industry, its partnership approach and flexible engagement model,” said Tom Meyer, Vice President, Global Infrastructure & Operations, Amway.

“A scalable, responsive and resilient digital core is an essential foundation for enterprises looking to leverage digital technologies to differentiate themselves in a Business 4.0™ world,” said Surya Kant, Head of North America, UK and Europe, TCS. “We are delighted to partner Amway in transforming their IT operations to be better aligned with business imperatives while reducing operating risks and improving end customer experiences.”
