Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) said that its TCS ERP solution on cloud platform has been selected by French food services and facilities management company Sodexo for driving its future growth.

Sodexo will transform and consolidate its legacy ERP estate on the TCS solution with SAP SoH on Microsoft Azure in this connection.

According to Tata Consultancy Services, the quick expansion of Sodexo globally had led to a fragmented ERP estate on a legacy on-premise infrastructure, with different business processes across local instances in more than seven nations.

Apart from that, the governance and technical support of Sodexo is said to have been localized, which resulted in greater risk and fragility, said Tata Consultancy Services. For harmonizing its operations and to improve security, agility and operational resilience, the French hospitality company wanted to consolidate the ERP estate and make it ready for the future, said Tata Consultancy Services.

Vera Ingallati — Sodexo Global IS&T VP said: “Our partnership with TCS is central to the transformation of our core ERP estate to take it to the next level.

“TCS understood our desired end-state and articulated a comprehensive roadmap based on their leadership in Azure cloud services, end-to-end SAP capabilities and IT security.”

Tata Consultancy Services said that with the stringent data residency and access controls of its TCS ERP solution on cloud platform along with centralized governance and a standardized cloud security framework, Sodexo will get a secure, resilient, and scalable cloud infrastructure, that is 35% lighter than before.

Arun Pradeep — Tata Consultancy Services Business Head, Travel, Transportation and Hospitality – Europe, said: “A cloud-based digital core is today foundational to enterprises’ growth and transformation journeys. Our investments in innovation, our intellectual property, and our strong partnerships in the technology ecosystem have made us the preferred partner in these journeys.

“We are pleased to partner with Sodexo in this large, global cloud transformation program, leveraging our proven TCS ERP on Cloud platform to build a new, future-ready digital core to support Sodexo’s future growth.”
