In addition to offering application management and change delivery services for the broadcaster's application estate supporting the finance, procurement, and HR activities, TCS will make use of TCS Cognix, an AI-driven human-machine communication suite.

“We are pleased to be selected by the BBC as their partner to transform their finance and payroll function. TCS’ digital capabilities and domain expertise will help them achieve their business objectives while building greater agility and resilience in their operations,” said Amit Kapur, Country Head, UK and Ireland, TCS.

To increase efficiency, process velocity, and process results, the partnership will involve managing individual processes across strategic and transactional finance operations.
