PROACTIS, a global Spend Control and eProcurement solution provider, today announced that Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), has selected PROACTIS' integrated suite of procurement software solutions to power its Procurement BPO Platform.

TCS is one of the top 10 technology firms in the world and a leader in the global marketplace for IT services, consulting and business solutions.

PROACTIS procurement solutions will provide TCS a framework of sourcing, contract, catalogue, and supplier management capabilities that will help leverage their client's full buying power, gain best value agreements, and maximise the percentage of "Spend Under Management" across all categories of spend.

TCS has more than 35 pre-defined procurement processes developed using best practices assimilated from over 30 years of in-depth expertise. TCS' Procurement Platform - an integrated procurement and purchase-to-pay solution powered by PROACTIS - will ensure streamlined and cost effective processes.

The core Procurement BPO offering will be hosted on a reliable, scalable and secure infrastructure. Based on client needs, TCS can offer the choice to adopt PROACTIS procurement solutions under Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), BPaaS (SaaS plus process delivery) or a hybrid model.

"PROACTIS and TCS share a common commitment and passion for bringing the benefits of procurement process excellence to organisations around the world," said Rod Jones, CEO of PROACTIS. "We are delighted that TCS has chosen PROACTIS as core to its Procurement Platform to help some of the world's largest companies reduce the cost of purchased goods and services while at the same time minimising risk, improving efficiencies, and increasing transparency."
