reflections: Story of TCS-An IT Pioneer on 2009-09-08
-
The niche that T C S has become famous for is stock exchanges. It has built the
systems not only for NSE and BSE in India but also for the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange, the Canadian Depository System, and of course the Swiss
SEGA.
The turning point in this business came with the planning and
execution of SEGA. In fact the project, won against international competition in
1989, seems to have been one of the defining moments in TCS history. “It was
like linking NSE, Stock Holding Corporation or NSDL, and RBI and member banks in
India seamlessly. It was a complex and mission-critical system. The solution had
to be very robust with multiple linkages to share registers, depositories, and
cross-border entities, etc. We got it purely because we could deliver
technically and our architecture could meet demands 10 years ahead. The
selection process took nine months. The price was not an issue since it was
mission- critical. It was developed from scratch. None of the clients spoke
English. The deadline, announced two years in advance, was the first long
weekend of October, when the Swiss financial community changes its system. We
consistently met all the deadlines. That is when all the onsite and offshore
methodologies were defined, communication links were established. The way Indian
software companies were doing business changed with that project,”
