TCS partners with GE to develop digital solutions

Tata Consultancy Services and GE Digital Alliance Programme created by GE Digital teamed up to develop digital solutions that can maximise the productivity of mobile workforces and assets using Predix, GE's cloud platform for the Industrial Internet.

"With the launch of the GE Digital Alliance Programme, we are providing alliance members with expanded access to GE Digital tools, technologies and domain expertise," said Denzil Samuels, Head of Global Channels and Alliances, GE Digital.

"The new alliance programme is also designed to take us to the size and scale required to truly drive unprecedented growth, as well as certifying thousands of developers, implementers and consultants to give us the largest ecosystem of qualified technical capacity. We are excited to work closely with some of the most forward-thinking companies in technology to unlock unprecedented value for our customers."

TCS and GE will work together to create an innovative industry solutions ecosystem. TCS has already developed new IoT solutions on the Predix platform, such as Satellite Image Analytics, Supply Chain Monitoring, Prognostic Maintenance, and Engine Telematics. Moreover, TCS said it has the largest pool of experts trained on the Predix platform and is significantly expanding its global team to support the unprecedented growth in the Industrial Internet, with more than 1,000 additional developers to be trained in 2016.

"TCS endeavors to digitally reimagine its customers' business through innovative solutions," said Anupam Singhal, Vice President, Tata Consultancy Services. "We see great opportunities in leveraging our global industry expertise and assets, enriching GE's Predix platform to drive favourable business outcomes for customers."
