TCS partners with AMD to drive AI adoption at scale

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) today announced a strategic collaboration with AMD to help enterprises scale AI adoption from pilots to production, modernise legacy environments, and build secure, high performance digital workplaces.

Under the collaboration, TCS and AMD will jointly develop industry-specific AI and generative AI solutions by combining TCS’s domain expertise and systems integration capabilities with AMD’s computing hardware portfolio. Additionally, industry-specific GenAI frameworks will be developed for sectors such as life sciences (drug discovery), manufacturing (cognitive quality engineering and smart manufacturing), and BFSI (intelligent risk management). The collaboration plans to deliver tailored accelerators, frameworks, and best practices to boost AI performance across both training and inference workloads, helping ensure organisations can fully harness the power of AI.

 From a technology perspective, TCS will integrate AMD Ryzen CPU-powered client devices to support workplace transformation initiatives. For data centre, cloud, and high-performance computing environments, the collaboration will leverage AMD EPYC CPUs, AMD Instinct GPUs, and other AI accelerators. AMD’s embedded computing portfolio, including adaptive system-on-chips and field-programmable gate arrays, will be used for edge computing, industrial digitalisation, and real-time inference use cases.

A key element of the partnership is talent development. TCS will rapidly upskill and certify its employees on AMD hardware and software platforms, while both companies invest in building a pool of specialists capable of co-developing and deploying enterprise-grade AI solutions.

Leadership comments

K. Krithivasan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Tata Consultancy Services, said, “Our collaboration with AMD is a significant step in scaling AI for the enterprise. By combining TCS’s deep industry expertise with AMD’s high performance computing capabilities, we are enabling organisations to move from AI experimentation to AI at scale and deployment. Together, we plan to co-create industry specific Gen AI solutions, modernize hybrid cloud and edge environments, and shape the next generation of intelligent workplace.”

Dr. Lisa Su, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, AMD, said, “AI adoption is accelerating, and unlocking its potential requires a new scale of high-performance computing and deep collaboration across the industry. AMD is building the open, end-to-end compute foundation that enables AI across the enterprise. Through our work with TCS, we are helping customers translate AI innovation into new growth opportunities across industries.”
