Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has been ranked number one for Customer Satisfaction in Europe, according to an independent survey by Whitelane Research.
The Whitelane Research 2024/2025 IT Sourcing Study gathered insights from nearly 2,300 participants from Europe’s leading organizations.

Additionally, the organization also secured the #1 spot for general satisfaction in Financial Services (84% vs industry average of 77%) and Transport & Logistics (84% vs industry average of 73%), further strengthening its position as a trusted IT partner.
Jef Loos, Head Sourcing Europe at Whitelane Research, said, “Congratulations to TCS for 12 years in first place. It is no easy feat to achieve this ranking. This level of consistency over the years speaks of the quality of TCS’ IT services and customer focus. Technology needs can change dramatically year-on-year, just as we have seen with the increase in investment in AI and machine learning solutions. An IT service provider that can adapt to and anticipate changing needs is therefore essential for customers, and TCS’ ranking demonstrates that they have this ability.”

We are especially proud to have ranked as an ‘excellent performer’ across every service pillar assessed. TCS values the trust placed in us by our customers, and our TCS teams prioritize always delivering exceptional customer service.”
Evaluating broad industry trends, the report found that 33% of respondents indicated their organization plans to increase its IT budget for external providers over the next two years, driven primarily by the need for access to specialized resources and talent (51%), followed closely by business scalability (50%). A deeper analysis of IT outsourcing strategies highlighted key investment priorities, with strengthening security, resilience, and cyber defense emerging as the top focus area (56%). Automation of key business processes (53%) and cost savings (44%) were also cited as major investment priorities. Additionally, advancing AI and machine learning solutions saw a significant rise in importance, increasing by 16% from the previous year’s finding (28%) to 44%.
