The work is intended to reduce complexity and improve visibility, security and compliance across the SDLC while supporting large scale migrations for complex multi team environments. Centres of Excellence will provide enablement, change management and managed platform services.\n\nThe partnership targets telecommunications and media firms seeking faster fifth generation mobile service rollouts and modernised content delivery, and financial institutions aiming to modernise core banking while preserving compliance. Traction is also expected in retail, manufacturing, healthcare and public sector organisations looking to scale AI driven experiences. The collaboration pairs TCS' industry knowledge with GitLab's scalable architecture to address enterprise DevSecOps challenges.\n\nGitLab serves more than 50 mn registered users and is used by more than 50 per cent of the Fortune 100, while TCS reported consolidated revenues of over US $30 bn and operates across 55 countries with 202 service delivery centres. The partnership will help enterprises adopt AI governed by organisational standards and embed security into automated pipelines. Ongoing support will include assessments, migration roadmaps and custom agent development.
