Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has been recognized as a digital and communications thought leader, receiving eight awards at the first ever edition of the Corporate Content Awards last week.
At the inaugural awards ceremony hosted by Communicate Magazine, TCS was presented two gold, five silver and one bronze award for both its industry-leading thought leadership campaigns – #DigitalEmpowers and Generation Direct. TCS was named among a host of other notable winners including BT, Adidas, Rolls-Royce, ASOS, Barclays and BT.
The two campaigns – #DigitalEmpowers & Generation Direct – are a reflection of the growing presence and importance of digital technologies in our world, and the impact they are having on businesses, societies and communities. As one of the leading companies driving thoughts and actions on this front, TCS was also named recently in Fortune magazine’s Change the World 50 list of companies that have had a positive social impact through activities which are part of their core business strategy.
In its role as a Strategic Partner to the World Economic Forum (WEF), TCS launched #DigitalEmpowers at Davos. The site is an online platform which highlights inspiring examples of technology being used as a force for good, celebrating the crucial role digital technologies play in improving our world.
The impact is already being seen worldwide, with technology being used to help women in rural areas of India and Africa learn to read and write, drones helping to save endangered animals and protect forests in Europe as well as using intelligent water systems to preserve one of the planet’s most precious resources.
