India’s top Software exporter Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced that it has secured a five-year contract from Volkswagen Group UK.

Under the deal, the company will offer IT transformation and support services to the Volkswagen Group UK.

Without disclosing the financial details of the deal, TCS said that it will leverage its Worldwide Delivery Network in order to render onshore and offshore IT support and transformation services for the Volkswagen Group's operations throughout the UK and across the brands -- Audi, SEAT, Skoda, Volkswagen passenger cars and Volkswagen Commercial vehicles.

The sources close to the company said that TCS would also help the Volkswagen Group in its business transformation support programme to meet its aim to "sell more cars, sell more parts, drive down costs."

Moreover, the company will assist all brands within the group as they move to strengthen and standardise its business platform, allowing mobility of Volkswagen Group employees, enhanced flexibility and cost reduction.

Volkswagen Group UK is a wholly-owned arm of the Europe’s bigwig vehicle manufacturer Volkswagen AG.
