Randstad, as part of its IT transformation strategy, is keen to improve its current IT Infrastructure operations through assets and vendor optimization, process standardization, automation and deriving economies of scale.
Last year, Randstad announced the setup of an IT Shared Services Center that will help springboard the organization to the next era of business transformation through centralization of global processes and technology, specifically in the areas of Networks leveraging public internet and Datacenter hosting in the public cloud.
Bernardo Payet, General Manager of Randstad Global IT Solutions said, “Today the disruptive influences of digital technology are providing us with more opportunities to capitalize in our markets. We decided to centralize responsibility for all IT Infrastructure into the new Global IT Shared Service Center (SSC). In turn the IT SSC was looking for partners to transform the landscape over time, to a fully cloud enabled Future Mode of Operations.”

It quickly became clear that TCS’ expertise and track record of delivering large scale, multi-market Digital and IT projects made it the best possible partner for us. We are confident that this partnership is the right step in our transformation journey and will help us realize our goals.”
