TCS deal with Sony

Represents shift in gears in terms of service delivery


BL Research Bureau

TCS’ announcement of multi-million dollar deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment, deploying service-oriented architecture (SOA) solutions, represents a shift in gears in terms of service delivery.

Service oriented architecture envisages delivering re-usable applications with provision for inter-operability.

This makes such services a way for the company to offer quicker implementation to its clientele across verticals and enable better realisations.

Business growth

This trend is in keeping with efforts by all top-tier IT companies to transition to a higher level of service delivery.

This may eventually de-link business growth from mere increases in headcount. SOA and other new service modes such as SaaS, MDM, and Web 2.0 are being used by these players to deliver ‘next-generation’ services.

Infosys, Satyam and HCL Technologies are some of the players who are betting big on SaaS and SOA. Some of them also have deal wins in this segment. However, such engagements are still at a nascent stage.

Over years, as these services take off, revenue contribution from these services may become more pronounced. TCS appears to have made a head start on this by announcing an SOA deal of significant size with Sony.
