CUSTOMER CENTRICITY :- Building and maintaining deep customer relationship is the key to be a trusted business partner to global enterprises. TCS’s industry-segmented, customer-centric organisation is an important enabler to achieve such mission. The success of the strategy is visible from the movement of customers to higher revenue buckets as shown in the table below. 

Col.1:Last twelve months revenue buckets : (Col.2,3&4 :Number of clients in FY 2012  : FY 2011 : FY 2010 )

$ 1 million +       522 : 458 : 409
$ 5 million +       245 : 208 : 183

$ 20 million +     99 : 81 : 63
$ 50 million +     43 : 27 : 23
$ 100 million +    14 : 8 :  7

FULL SERVICE CAPABILITY : TCS’s continued investments in building full services capability has resulted in a comprehensive, integrated portfolio of services that captures the entire value-chain of IT, from consulting to products and from implementation to support, presenting a compelling value proposition for global enterprises. These end-to-end capabilities have made TCS a one-stop shop for many key clients, significantly deepening the relationship and boosting its share of wallet. 

GLOBAL NETWORK DELIVERY MODEL (GNDMTM) : This GNDMTM model is an industry benchmark that allows TCS to seamlessly and uniformly deliver services to global customers from multiple global locations in India, China, Europe, North America and Latin America. The GNDM™ enables teams located in different delivery centers across the world to collaborate on projects and leverage all of TCS’s assets while subscribing to ‘One Global Service Standard’. With most of the large global clients expanding their focus beyond their home markets, the scale and depth of TCS’s GNDM™ offering makes it the preferred strategic partner in all those global expansion initiatives. 

NON LINEAR GROWTH :- TCS is pursuing three strategic initiatives to drive non-linear growth, namely, (1) Software Products (Asset Leveraged Solutions) (2) Platform based BPO services (Process Clouds) and (3) iON – an IT-as-a-service solution for small and medium business.

As on March 31, 2012, iON had 256 mid-market customers. Some of the well known brands in India run their daily operations on iON.
