Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has won a contract from Ericsson to build and operate its cloud-based R&D digital workplace.

TCS said Ericsson selected TCS as its partner for its R&D environment transformation initiative that will enable anytime-anywhere secured access and automated availability of the development environment for Ericsson’s global R&D teams.

TCS will leverage its strong contextual knowledge of Ericsson’s R&D and IT environments coupled with expertise in automation and cloud technologies to support globally distributed teams with on-demand, zero-touch and remote provisioning.

TCS is launching a 24 x 7 Command Center at Hyderabad, India to accelerate Ericsson’s R&D and product development environment. The autonomous provisioning, configuration and plans for self-healing of the development environment aligns with Ericsson’s ambition to create a world-class R&D environment for its engineers,” said V Rajanna, global head, Technology Business Unit, TCS.
