TCS to expand Portugal footprint with TAP Air deal

Tata Consultancy Services said on Tuesday that it has won a digital transformation deal from TAP Air Portugal, the flag carrier airline of Portugal and a member of Star Alliance. As part of the deal, TCS will establish an Airline Digital Center (ADC) in Portugal, staffed with consultants from the airline industry, solution architects and technology experts.
