Tata Consultancy Services gets Telenor's account

Tata Consultancy Services, a leading IT services, business solutions and outsourcing firm has signed a multi-year outsourcing contract with Telenor Norway. The contract comprises application maintenance and development services and will involve a modernization of Telenor's Norway's application portfolio across its OSS, Fixed, Mobile, Datawarehouse and Accounting system domains.

"By implementing this measure we are making the necessary adaptations to provide our customers with improved and more innovative services in relation to capacity, speed and stability, as well as better quality in both voice and data, and to facilitate current demands for accessibility," said Ragnar KÃƒ¥rhus, CEO of Telenor Norway.

The contract reinforces TCS' leadership position in the Nordic market. Recently, TCS had been ranked as the number one service provider in the Nordic region by an EquaTerra survey in which leading CIOs and CXOs in the Nordic region had rated the company ahead of all other providers in terms of customer satisfaction, quality, flexibility, risk and innovation.

"This contract underscores TCS' ability to help global corporations optimise their "Run the Business' cost and channelize those savings to undertake modernisation projects that are delivered with reduced risk and increased certainty," said A.S. Lakshminarayanan, Vice President and Head of Tata Consultancy Services, Europe. He added: "Our selection by Telenor to drive this modernisation demonstrates the headway we have been making in the Nordic market and highlights our strong telecom domain expertise."
