In a transaction worth $100 million, NXP Semiconductors has signed a
five-year consultancy services contract with Tata Consultancy Services
(TCS), which will see TCS supply end-to-end global IT applications
services and business solutions advice to the Netherlands-based IDM.
TCS will support NXP’s technology infrastructure via its centers in
India, Asia and the U.S. and supported by a High Tech Center of
Excellence based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
"The engagement
with TCS reflects NXP's commitment to optimizing our processes and
driving business value from all aspects of our operations,” said Louis
Luijten, NXP’s Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer. “We
were looking for a partner who has a holistic understanding of our core
business and not just the technology behind it and in this respect TCS
is ideally placed to help us drive growth over the next five years."
