Tata Consultancy Services retains #1 service provider in the Nordic region

• Scores highest among 19 IT service providers with above-average results in every single KPI
• Demonstrates yearly rate increase in the majority of KPIs

Stockholm, June, 2013: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), global provider of IT services, consulting and business solutions, announced that it retained #1 in the Nordic region for customer satisfaction. It is the fourth consecutive year TCS ranks highest in the KPMG Nordic IT outsourcing survey. Recently TCS has been also top-rated in the Nordic IT Outsourcing Study by Whitelane Research.

The KPMG survey covered CXOs of more than 200 of the top IT spend Nordic organizations estimated at more than € 14 billion. 330 unique IT outsourcing contracts were evaluated. TCS topped the overall client satisfaction score of 83% and was ranked highest amongst the 19 service providers evaluated with significantly above-average scores in every single KPI.

TCS demonstrated 3 to 11 point lead in customer satisfaction among the top 4 companies and significantly higher rates than many well established and recognized IT service providers in the Nordic market. Whilst TCS keep increasing their scores the survey average is dropping for all KPIs and overall satisfaction level.

“TCS is raising the bar for industry standards every year. While seeing significant growth in the Nordics, it is still managing to increase its customer satisfaction. KMPG study shows that the majority of TCS’ KPI ratings are gradually increasing every year. For example, TCS’ general customer satisfaction rose by 4% from 2011 and customers’ readiness to recommend TCS as an outsourcing partner increased by 7% from 2012.  TCS seems to poses unique abilities to understand and meet their clients’ needs in a better way than the well established companies with longer history in the Nordics,” said Yash Khanna, Director & Head, Analyst Relations, UK & Europe at TCS.

According to the survey, TCS has also been highly rated for customer relationship building (82%) which has increased by 4% since 2011.

“Working with Nordic companies since 1991, TCS has developed great sensitivity for local business needs. Driven by a deep-set commitment to our customers, we are very glad to receive this valuable acknowledgement from our Nordic partners. TCS’ success lies in its unique culture focused on knowledge sharing, innovation, customer centricity and our interdisciplinary approach. We are pleased to have a pool of innovative talents who always strive for high quality results and help our customers reaching their business goals,” said Amit Bajaj, Head – Northern Europe at TCS.

Present in Nordic region since 1991, TCS has continuously invested in the local markets to deliver consistent results to its customers with a level of certainty that no other firm can match.
