Blockchain technology is a critical enabler of this shift. The combinatorial effect of blockchain with other next-gen technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and virtual reality, can not only drive hyper productivity and business transformation, but also open up new revenue streams through disruptive innovation,” said Lakshminarasimhan Srinivasan, Global Head, Blockchain Services, TCS. “This recognition from an independent, third party researcher, is a validation of our vision and thought-leadership, investments, and capabilities in this space, specifically our comprehensive services strategy.”

This includes advisory services, consulting, methodologies, solutions, platforms, and full stack capabilities.

TCS has launched Quartz Blockchain solutions to help enterprises in the financial services value chain leverage blockchain for agility and to significantly reduce transaction processing costs. Quartz comprises of domain-aware, self-executable smart contracts and enabling solutions such as the Quartz Gateway, the Quartz DevKit, and the Quartz Command Center. Quartz has been used to build a blockchain-based non-exchange trade settlement system in Canada and a cross-border corporate action information exchange across multiple entities in Africa.

In order to drive large scale impact, TCS has been investing in building blockchain platform solutions for digital identity, track and trace, assets monetization, and assets in common that address the needs of multiple industries. TCS is actively exploring the curation of enterprise ecosystems, which powered by technology platforms, can unlock significant unrealized business potential as well as address some of the largest societal challenges.

Ronak Doshi, Practice Director, Everest Group, remarked, “TCS has demonstrated its leadership in blockchain by uniquely leveraging its own frameworks that are backed by management theories and behavioral science. Blockchain-driven endeavors across the globe will be successful only when organizations adopt a collaborative mindset, and TCS’ holistic approach will help organizations harness the blockchain technology to its fullest potential.”
