TCS is now UK’s #1 software and IT services company
Tata Consultancy Services’ UK Revenue of £2.63bn in 2020 Placed it at the Top in the UK Market, According to TechMarketView.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading global IT service, consulting and business solutions organisation, has been ranked number one by revenue among the Top 30 Suppliers of Software and IT Services to the UK Market by TechMarketView.
The report comprises a detailed analysis of the UK revenues of over 200 publicly quoted and privately held companies. TCS has moved up from last year’s second position. The company performed very well in the revenue rankings by sub-category and topping the Applications Operations category, and ranking #3 in Consulting and Solutions.
According to the report, TCS has used the pandemic to re-energise its proposition and positioning into the broader marketplace. It says that the core role given to innovation continues to be central to TCS’ identity and positioning within the SITS market, which has worked out well for TCS over the last couple of years. The report highlights that a key part of TCS’ response to Covid-19 has been its accelerated transition to what it calls Secure Borderless Workspaces.
Marc Hardwick, Research Director, TechMarketView, said, “2020 saw TCS become the largest Software and IT Services provider in the UK topping TechMarketView’s ranking for the first time, a real testament to how resilient and innovative the business has become as it continues to grow and nurture an enviable UK client base.”

This achievement encourages us to continue investing in the region’s economy, innovation, the technology sector, and in developing workforce skills.”
