TCS Taps TPG For $2-billion Joint Investment In HyperVault AI Data Center Business<\/a>]<\/p>\n\u201cEssentially it addresses two scenarios when you are modernizing your applications on Azure, as well as when you are doing cloud-native development,\u201d he said. \u201cIt takes your developer experience beyond individual developer productivity. Today, pretty much any GenAI or agentic AI software will improve developer productivity, but we\u2019re going beyond that to bring in a more governed software development process. That minimizes rework by almost 90 percent to 95 percent, and that reduction in rework essentially results in almost 15 [percent] to 30 percent additional developer productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n
With TCS Agentic SDLC on Microsoft Azure, TCS is augmenting the existing capabilities of tools in the Microsoft world like GitHub and Copilot, which are focused on individual developer productivity, Phadke said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are bringing in the enterprise way of building software,\u201d he said. \u201cOtherwise, what happens is, you develop the initial set of code, but then there is lot of rework needed because you need to align that code to your enterprise standard. We eliminate that rework. And that is our unique value proposition for this particular solution, which comes bundled with set of around six agents especially for app modernization and building the application documentation, including Features Agent, UI Design Agent, UI Build Agent, Documentation Agent, Solution Agent, Code Scanner Agent and Impact Analysis Agent.\u201d<\/p>\n
The second new offering is TCS Autonomous Operations on Microsoft Azure.<\/p>\n
TCS Autonomous Operations on Microsoft Azure uses a suite of specialized agents to automate platform and application operations to improve the ability of organizations to achieve digital-first interactions by integrating with ITSM tools, reducing ticket volumes, and improving mean time to recovery (MTTR).<\/p>\n
The offering also leverages Azure AI Foundry, Semantic Kernel, and AutoGen for sophisticated agentic orchestration, and is strategically designed to adopt the Microsoft Agent Framework.<\/p>\n
Phadke said TCS Autonomous Operations on Microsoft Azure goes beyond traditional AIOps and automation, which is today present for Azure operations including infrastructure and application operations as well as SRE, or site reliability engineering.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt brings in agentic AI interventions,\u201d he said. \u201cIt results in reduction of up to 25 percent and up to 10 [percent] to 30 percent reduction in ticket resolution and documentation time. The unique value proposition is that it\u2019s not a rip-and-replace solution. It augments customers\u2019 existing AIOps solutions and brings them a layer of autonomy over and above the automation that customers have today.\u201d<\/p>\n
TCS Autonomous Operations on Microsoft Azure comes prebuilt with a set of around 12 agents including operability agent and coder agent, Phadke said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also have a framework to build custom agents for our customers,\u201d he said. \u201cIt also comes along with a set of curated recipes based on the TCS way of running Azure operations. These curated recipes help the agents to solve IT operation issues on a proactive basis in a very fast manner. One of the unique things we are doing is building a knowledge fabric based on existing ITSM or IT Service Management artifacts such as standard operating procedures and knowledge repositories. All of this results in very proactive issue resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n
TCS is currently piloting the new solution for one of its customers by building a set of SRE agents for one of their units which is big on Azure to help increase efficiency and resiliency via the SRE agent, Phadke said.<\/p>\n
Also new is TCS MXDR Services with Microsoft, which the company called a next-generation cybersecurity solution aimed at securing AI and cloud transformation from the core. TCS MXDR Services with Microsoft combines TCS\u2019 deep domain expertise and proprietary AI frameworks with Microsoft\u2019s Unified Security Operations Platform which includes Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, and Purview. The technology aims to help businesses achieve perpetual cyber resilience with AI-powered real-time threat detection, unified security operations center (SOC) operations through Microsoft Purview, and zero-trust principles.<\/p>\n
Phadke said that increased automation via the adoption of AI in its new Microsoft solutions is not expected to result in a reduction of businesses\u2019 workforces.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see an operating model emerge where agents and human work together, actually,\u201d he said. \u201cAgents will augment what humans are doing. Obviously, some of the lower-end tasks will probably get significantly automated, but it will free up time for humans to do more value adding work. I don\u2019t see a complete replacement, but more of augmentation and a new operating model that will emerge eventually, especially for IT software development and IT operations.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hemal Mehta, head of technology for TCS Cloud Workplace, said TCS sees this as an opportunity for making these toolsets enabled for more employees for their daily work.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of mundane tasks can be done with AI-assisted tools,\u201d Mehta said. \u201cEmployees can get time back, which can be used to create more value for organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n
TCS\u2019s new solutions are based in large part on Microsoft Azure AI Foundry<\/a> capabilities for building, deploying, governing, and optimizing agents, Phadke said.<\/p>\nCustomers understand AI agents will be increasingly important, but they don\u2019t always know how to embark on the agent journey, Mehta said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMicrosoft wants to democratize creating agents,\u201d he said. \u201cAt the same time, there is a risk in terms of governance and security. There are multiple layers where we need to manage security and governance before we can start everyone in an organization building purposeful agents. It\u2019s not like these are the only 15 agents you are going to use. You will be creating another 100, 150, whatever number of agents you want to make to get the things done for the individual persona. We\u2019re going to build that strong foundation layer on which you can start building and using agents from the security aspect with all the guardrails in place. So an enterprise which is starting with Copilot can take it to the next step and start realizing their own agents rather than just relying on first-party agents from Microsoft or others.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018Essentially it addresses two scenarios when you are modernizing your applications on Azure, as well as when you…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29438,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[24,25,420,7829,223,320,7828],"class_list":{"0":"post-29437","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-microsoft","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-azure","11":"tag-azure-ai","12":"tag-generative-ai","13":"tag-microsoft","14":"tag-microsoft-ai"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
