TCS and AMD make a big AI bet — Here’s what they’re planning

Under the collaboration, TCS and AMD plan to engage on the co-development of industry specific AI and GenAI solutions by combining TCS’ deep domain expertise, systems integration capabilities and global innovation ecosystem with leadership AMD high performance computing and AI product portfolio.

Together, the companies will help enterprises modernize hybrid cloud and edge environments, deploy AI-powered workplace solutions, and accelerate innovation across cloud-to-edge workloads.

TCS will also rapidly upskill and certify its associates on cutting-edge AMD hardware and software technologies.

The two companies plan to jointly invest in talent that will help build a deep pool of experts who can co-innovate and deliver next-generation AI solutions.

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). Finally, the collaboration plans to deliver tailored accelerators, frameworks, and best practices to boost AI performance across both training and inference workloads, helping ensure organizations can fully harness the power of AI.

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. The collaboration underscores our commitment to building future ready enterprises and advances our ambition to become the world’s largest AI-led technology services company.”

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.”

TCS will work with AMD to integrate RyzenTM CPU-powered client solutions to deliver workplace transformation, while leveraging AMD EPYCTM CPUs, AMD InstinctTM GPUs, and AI accelerators to modernize hybrid cloud and high-performance computing environments.

Additionally, the AMD embedded computing portfolio will help customers to drive edge innovation, inference, and industrial digitalisation through adaptive System on Chips (SoCs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).

TCS has deep expertise in designing and delivering customized solutions powered by advanced semiconductors, enabling clients to unlock the full potential of high-performance computing and adaptive technologies.

This strength complements cutting-edge AMD platforms, creating a powerful foundation for co-innovation and next-generation solutions. Combining TCS’ industry-leading capabilities, this partnership aims to develop next-gen AI and computing solutions.

The co-created solutions will help enterprises adapt to the AI-era.
