TCS and Adobe expand partnership to deliver breakthrough Customer Experiences and Digital Document Transformation

Organizations are under more pressure than ever to digitally transform their businesses, and customer experience transformation initiatives are at the top of the list. Customers now prefer digital-first experiences and their expectations for quality are steadily increasing. To compete effectively, companies need to 'raise the experience bar' to maintain customer loyalty and grow their businesses.

TCS and Adobe are expanding their strategic partnership to deliver innovative, turnkey digital customer experiences that are powered by Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Document Cloud, and Adobe Experience Cloud. To capitalize on the customer experience (CX) transformation opportunity, TCS has launched an Adobe-focused business unit, elevating the brand TCS Interactive, which will help businesses take a holistic, customer-centric approach to design game-changing digital customer experiences.

"Documents are becoming essential ingredients to customer-centric processes in the CX ecosystem. Our strong partnership and co-innovation will accelerate growth and help deliver on our brand promise of 'Building on Belief' to impart unique, unparalleled experiences in the end-to-end customer journey."
