Mumbai, Nov. 22 Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has partnered with the Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) in order to develop IT solutions for the 11,000-member companies registered with the latter.

The newly forged alliance will bring the ‘IT-as-a-service’ model for the apparel industry and help in the creation of new growth opportunities and service level capabilities.

AEPC promotes and regulates the growth of readymade garments in order to establish India as a reliable supplier of high quality readymade garments and service, according to a news release.

“For small and medium businesses it not just about efficiency, but the speed of responding to global opportunities. IT-as-a service is about managing the IT for the SMB by treating every business as unique,” said Mr Venguswamy Ramaswamy, Global Head, Small and Medium Business, TCS.

Earlier this year, the country’s largest IT exporter had announced the creation of a strategic business unit that will offer IT services to small and medium-size companies on pay-as-you-go basis. The SBU currently has more than 400 employees.
