TCS And GitLab Partner To Orchestrate AI For DevSecOps

04 Mar 2026 CW Team

The initiative will deliver foundational agents developed by GitLab experts, custom agents created by TCS to automate complex development tasks, and integrations with external AI tools such as Claude Code from Anthropic and Codex CLI from OpenAI. TCS will develop industry specific workflow templates and prebuilt agents to address common use cases and reduce time to value for customers. Governance and security controls will be embedded across implementations to maintain compliance and enterprise standards.

The partnership will also focus on modernising legacy development practices and consolidating fragmented tool chains into a unified platform to reduce complexity while improving visibility, security and compliance across the SDLC. Proven TCS methodologies and GitLab scalable architecture will support large scale migrations and transformations for global enterprises with complex multi team development environments. TCS Centres of Excellence will provide ongoing enablement, change management and managed platform services to sustain adoption.

The collaboration is expected to benefit telecommunications and media companies accelerating five G service rollouts, and financial institutions seeking faster innovation without compromising regulatory requirements. It will similarly support retail, manufacturing, healthcare and public sector organisations that require AI enabled software delivery at scale. GitLab has more than 50 million (mn) registered users and more than 50 per cent of the Fortune 100 trust its platform, while TCS operates in 55 countries with 202 service delivery centres and continues to scale AI led offerings globally.

Tata Consultancy Services has formed a strategic partnership with GitLab to deploy intelligent orchestration and agentic artificial intelligence automation across the software development lifecycle. The collaboration will use the GitLab Duo Agent Platform to help enterprises accelerate software delivery, enhance security and orchestrate AI agents within organisational context, standards and guardrails. TCS will combine its AI-led enterprise transformation capabilities with GitLab prebuilt agents and orchestration to enable large scale adoption of AI-native DevSecOps practices.
