TCS’ performance in the study and HFS’ views of its strengths and development opportunities for HCP services capabilities

Slide titled TCS' performance in the study and HFS' views of its strengths and development opportunities for HCP services capabilities. On the left, a three-step Horizon ladder graphic highlights Horizon 3 Market Leader at the top, where TCS sits, above Horizon 2 Enterprise Innovator and Horizon 1 Disruptor. On the right, two lists. The Strengths list covers seven areas: value proposition, a programmatic approach to enabling AI for next-generation transformation, backed by domain expertise to address endemic financial and clinical challenges through Services-as-Software; capabilities across most of the provider value chain, focusing on patient consultation, acute care, post-acute care, patient services, and RCM via the QuBit agentic framework, Care Hub, and ClinicoGraph; go-to-market that combines an extensive partner ecosystem, TCS PACE Port design-thinking sessions as a structured pre-sales and co-creation engine, consultation-led solutioning, and full-stack capabilities; outcomes including reduced costs via AI denial prediction and improved clinician experience via Nurse triage, with ADAM, GAIT, and ClinicoGraph advancing health outcomes through personalized dosing, neurorehabilitation, and proactive care interventions, and Avik's bottom-of-the-pyramid mental health work addressing equity for vulnerable populations; innovation through a Care ecosystem that maximizes the value of AI beyond traditional boundaries and investment in a quantum-ready workforce; customer perception, which expresses significant trust and credits TCS as a strategic technology partner reflected in long renewals and scope expansion; and partner perception, which recognizes its diversified ecosystem of tech and domain leaders, domain expertise, execution efficiencies, and continuous innovation. The Development opportunities list covers four areas: capabilities, where mapping QuBit, Care Hub, and Living with Confidence into a unified provider workflow story would improve resonance with business buyers; innovation, where tightening the line of sight from foundational research such as quantum and digital twins to commercialized provider products is the opportunity; customer, where converting long-term private references into named, public-domain case studies with quantified provider transformation outcomes and cross-pollinating skills across geographic markets would help; and partner, where staying aligned with the pace of industry change, increasing execution agility and flexibility, and being bolder in publishing wins in public forums is identified.
