Tata Consultancy Services
has announced that AGL Energy Ltd (AGL), one of the leading renewable
energy company in Australia, has signed a five year, infrastructure
management services contract, worth more than $50 million AUD, with
TCS.

Prior to this
infrastructure management contract, TCS has been executing a number
of leading edge programs covering advanced metering, gas trading,
pricing engine and multiple SAP projects. Over the past 3 years, the
TCS — AGL relationship has evolved into a 'full services play'
covering consulting, implementation, assurance, outsourcing and
support. Today, over 650 TCS consultants delivers these engagements
for AGL. Most of these projects are either second generation
outsourcing or new projects. Owen Coppage, CIO and
Group GM-Customer Operations, AGL commented on the partnership,
“TCS's focus on the relationship, rather than the contract, has
resulted in higher levels of service each time we moved a new area to
TCS. We expect the new deal to similarly enhance our experience,
further strengthening our strategic relationship.”

Varun Kapur, GM, Tata
Consultancy Services Australia and New Zealand added, “Technology
provides AGL with a strong competitive advantage. We are confident
AGL will continue to experience delivery certainty with TCS and our
strategic partner, BMC. Energy and Utilities is a big focus area for
TCS, and we are proud to have AGL as our showcase client.” Chip
Salyards, VP, Asia
Pacific, BMC commented, “TCS has been gaining significant traction
in the Australian and New Zealand market. Hence, we partnered with
TCS to move AGL from a silo-based support structure to BMC's
value-based approach with our business service management offerings.
Given the delivery capability of TCS and solution capabilities of
BMC, we look forward to several other clients benefiting from this
strategic partnership.”
