SINGAPORE, DETROIT, LONDON and PUNE, India - Consolidation of former operating companies yields all-new organization

Tata Technologies Limited, a global leader in Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO) , Product Development IT services, and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) this week announced the launch of its brand worldwide, and the retirement of the brand names of its former operating companies, INCAT and iKnowledge Solutions (iKS). The global consolidation of the company has yielded an all-new organization that incorporates the best of its former operating companies.

“We are today an integrated global company. We have demonstrated the value that integrated global delivery brings to our clients, employees and shareholders. Now, with the heightened awareness of, and the high regard for, the Tata brand worldwide, we should take this opportunity to unify under the power of the global brand to further grow the organization,” said Patrick McGoldrick, CEO - Tata Technologies.

“The Tata Technologies brand gives us an enhanced opportunity to establish our position as a world-leading partner to the global manufacturing industry, leveraging the Tata reputation for excellence and integrity,” added Warren Harris, President and COO - Tata Technologies.

“This represents the culmination of an evolutionary process begun more than four years ago,” Harris explained. “The launch of this new organization provides us with limitless opportunities and provides us economies of scale otherwise unavailable to us.”

The new Tata Technologies is organized under a global structure, divided into two go-to-market divisions: Global Services, headed by Samir Yajnik, President — Global Services; and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Solutions, headed by David Myers, President PLM Solutions. The company also operates with a single globally integrated delivery organization led by Kevin Fisher, Head of Delivery Operations and T Rajasekaran, Head of Delivery Process and Quality.

INCAT and iKS became members of the Tata Group when they were acquired by Tata Technologies Limited in 2005. Since that acquisition, the companies operated under their respective brands worldwide. INCAT was a global ESO provider and a world leader in PLM services delivery. iKS was a pioneering provider of knowledge management solutions and was best known for i get it(R), the industry-leading knowledge management application. All products and services of INCAT and iKS are now available through Tata Technologies
