A new report has claimed that broadband and mobile giant Virgin Media<\/a> and O2<\/a> (VMO2) are reportedly in the process of reaching a new agreement with India’s Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which is allegedly said to be worth around \u00a3750m over 10-years. The move could see the telecoms provider outsourcing some of their IT, such as in application management and infrastructure services.<\/p>\n

According to the report on Telco Titans<\/a> (paywall), the as yet unconfirmed move is being done at the direction of co-owners Telef\u00f3nica, which recently set out a new five-year strategic plan (here<\/a>). The latter included a desire to modernise IT systems and processes “externally<\/em>“, which is where Tata could come into play. But a portion of the deal for VMO2 is also said to include ‘new work<\/em>‘ for the business.<\/p>\n

At present there are a lot of unknowns about all this and what the new agreement, if it is indeed signed, will deliver. The report indicates that a formal announcement of the deal is expected in the coming weeks (early New Year). VMO2 declined to comment when ISPreview asked, although the operator did inform us that it had no plans to move IT jobs from the UK to India or any other country, and that any such speculation would be unsubstantiated and misleading.<\/p>\n

We should point out that VMO2 already work with TCS as part of an enterprise software integration contract, which was announced back in 2023. The UK is TCS\u2019s second-largest market after the USA and they’re currently in the process of expanding their UK based workforce to create 5,000 new jobs, although the timeframe for this seems to be unclear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
