Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at helping enterprises scale artificial intelligence adoption from pilot projects to full production deployments, as demand grows for AI-ready infrastructure and industry-specific solutions.
Under the partnership, Tata Consultancy Services and AMD will co-develop AI and generative AI solutions tailored to specific industries by combining TCS’s domain expertise, systems integration capabilities and global delivery scale with AMD’s high-performance computing and AI hardware portfolio. The companies said the collaboration will focus on modernising legacy IT environments, hybrid cloud and edge infrastructure, and building secure, high-performance digital workplaces.
The partners plan to develop sector-focused GenAI frameworks for areas such as life sciences, manufacturing and banking and financial services, covering use cases including drug discovery, smart manufacturing and intelligent risk management. They will also jointly create accelerators, frameworks and best practices to improve AI performance across both training and inference workloads.
As part of the agreement, TCS will rapidly upskill and certify its workforce on AMD’s hardware and software platforms, including Ryzen CPUs for end-user computing, EPYC processors and Instinct GPUs for data centre and AI workloads, and AMD’s embedded computing portfolio for edge and industrial applications.
AMD chair and chief executive Lisa Su said large-scale AI adoption requires close industry collaboration and high-performance, open computing platforms. TCS chief executive K Krithivasan said the partnership would help enterprises move from experimentation to AI at scale and supports the company’s ambition to become a leading AI-led technology services provider.
