Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the leading ITO and BPO provider, has won a £100 million contract to provide global IT applications services to NXP Semiconductors B.V, a top 10 semiconductor company and offshoot of Philips.

The five year contract will see TCS provide consulting services as well as application management, development and support services across NXP’s supply chain operations. The company will also support NXP’s global technology infrastructure covering ERP, CRM applications in addition to the company’s portal-based applications.

Through the deal TCS aims to consolidate and solidify NXP’s complex application portfolio whilst delivering considerable operational cost savings. Its R&D department will also be drafted in to drive application innovation which NXP hopes will deliver competitive advantage across all stages of the product cycle.

Louis Luijten, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, NXP said: “The engagement with TCS reflects NXP’s commitment to optimizing our processes and driving business value from all aspects of our operations.”

Delivery of the services will be implemented using TCS’s global delivery model from centres in India, Asia and the US. The contract will be coordinated by a local ‘High Tech Centre of Excellence’ based in Eindhoven.
