TCS recognised by Eaton for premier supplier excellence
April 9, 2008

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading IT services, business solutions and outsourcing organisation, today announced that it has received the 2007 Eaton Premier Supplier Award for the 'Indirect Supplier for Information Technology Services' category. Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation honoured 42 of its best suppliers at its third Supplier Awards Program on April 1 at the downtown Cleveland Marriott.

Richard D Holder, vice president, Eaton Business System, said, “Of the thousands of Eaton suppliers around the world these are the best in terms of quality, productivity, innovation and technology.”

The award winners fall within one of three supplier categories: direct, indirect or logistics. Direct materials suppliers are those which provide goods used directly in the making of products (ie, bearings, gaskets, seals, castings); indirect materials and services suppliers provide goods used to make products or support the business (ie, IT services, cutting fluid, maintenance repair, office supplies) and logistics suppliers handle the transportation of goods inbound from the supplier and outbound to customers, as well as indirect package transportation.

Surya Kant, president of TCS’s North America operations stated, “TCS and Eaton have a long lasting relationship and one for which we are both proud of its accomplishments. By tapping into TCS’s Global Network Delivery Model integrated with its manufacturing business solutions to provide a level of certainty in the results we deliver for Eaton around the world, we have been able to increase efficiencies and time to market for this global diversified industrial manufacturer. We are very proud to receive this award and look forward to continuing this successful relationship.”
