Japan TCS announced a new strategy in response to the rapid adoption of generative AI. It will establish the Shikoku Digital Innovation Hub in Matsuyama and emphasized restoring IT sovereignty and advancing digital transformation in the Japanese market.
Tata Consultancy Services Japan (Japan TCS) held a business strategy briefing on 5 August and outlined a new business strategy in response to the maturation and widespread adoption of generative AI. At the outset, the company looked back on surpassing ¥100 billion in revenue and achieving double-digit growth in fiscal 2024, and highlighted its track record of providing core systems development, operations and security support in the manufacturing and financial sectors, including through a strategic partnership with JAL Digital.
As part of efforts to strengthen its domestic delivery structure, the company will establish the Shikoku Digital Innovation Hub in collaboration with Ehime Prefecture and Matsuyama City. It also announced plans to expand its current workforce from approximately 50 to approximately 100 people, and launched TCS AI Studio, a facility where customers can experience and co-create advanced AI and robotics applications. In addition, the company is advancing initiatives to train more than 2,700 AI-ready personnel and more than 160 AI expert consultants, accelerating its investment in the Japanese market.
The company will maintain its “3×3 strategy,” which targets revenue of $1 billion by fiscal 2026, the fiscal year ending March 2027, equivalent to approximately ¥150 billion. It outlined a policy of supporting Japanese companies in restoring IT sovereignty and building the execution capabilities needed for digital transformation as AI technology evolves. COO Mori Seiichiro (森 誠一郎) stated that “restoring IT sovereignty, whereby companies make decisions about and manage their own operations and data, is essential,” and emphasized the company’s intention to strengthen both IT infrastructure and the OT domain through its go-to-market strategy.
