TCS, Dow to expand alliance

MUMBAI: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Friday said it would expand its strategic business alliance with U.S.-based Dow Chemicals that would create new jobs in Midland-Michigan.

“Dow Chemical and TCS plan to form an innovative business alliance that will provide critical business services to Dow, its subsidiaries and joint ventures,” TCS said in a statement.

As part of the alliance, Dow and TCS are planning to build a new service centre at a site near Dow’s global headquarters in Midland Michigan, U.S. This would result in creation of new jobs.

The companies are planning to build a new facility, which will be a strategic service centre, next year that will accommodate 1,250 employees. TCS would provide strategic services, which would include invoicing and data management to the U.S. firm.

The said alliance is an expansion of the already existing business partnership between Dow and TCS. IT combines Dow’s chemical industry knowledge with the service delivery expertise of TCS. Earlier in 2006, TCS entered into a partnership with Dow and set up the Mumbai Services Centre to support the latter’s growth strategy and to provide transactional and operational services to its clients. — PTI
