Mumbai, March
25 2013: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540,
NSE: TCS), a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions firm today
announced that it has been selected by Norway Post to drive its strategic transformation
by leveraging Information Technology (IT). The contract encompasses delivery of
a wide range of application development and support services across Norway
Post’s core portfolio of 55 applications.

 Through this
Next Generation Initiative, Norway Post is implementing a structured
multi-sourcing model to drive efficiency and support their Nordic Integrated
business strategy. The Post delivers over 36 million packages and 2.2 billion
letters every year. Apart from being selected to deliver application services
across the core postal value chains, TCS has also been entrusted to coordinate
and drive the overall transition and transformation program across multiple
vendors. The services will be delivered through its Travel, Transportation and
Hospitality group, which has developed significant capability in the Post and
Parcel segment.

 “The Postal industry is one of the
most impacted by the disruptive power of technology, wherein growth of emails,
social media and mobile messaging has impacted traditional business models. Conversely,
there are tremendous new growth opportunities for this industry by leveraging
the transition towards the new digital consumer.  Postal companies need to re-imagine their
business model and get access to new age partners and capabilities that can
help them change seamlessly, while they perform their daily operations. Norway
Post is on the forefront of this change and TCS is pleased to have been selected
as a strategic partner to accelerate this journey.” said Amit Bajaj, Head of North
