Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced a strategic partnership with GitLab Inc. to help enterprises accelerate software innovation at scale using AI-powered orchestration. Through this collaboration, the two organizations aim to combine intelligent orchestration with agentic AI automation, enabling businesses to transform how they build, secure, and deliver software.
As enterprises face growing pressure to innovate faster while maintaining strong governance, this partnership brings together TCS’ deep expertise in AI-led enterprise transformation and GitLab’s intelligent DevSecOps orchestration capabilities. Together, they will help organizations speed up software delivery, strengthen security, and seamlessly orchestrate AI agents across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). Importantly, all of this will take place within enterprise-defined standards, guardrails, and operational context.
By leveraging GitLab’s pre-built AI agents and orchestration framework, along with TCS’ global delivery scale, customers can expect improved efficiency across development pipelines. The collaboration is designed to make AI-native DevSecOps practical and scalable, especially for large enterprises managing complex, multi-team environments.
Alex Picker, VP of Global Ecosystems, GitLab, said, “TCS brings extensive industry experience and global scale that enterprises need to maximize the value of GitLab Duo Agent Platform at scale. Together, we're enabling joint customers to transform how they build and deliver software, orchestrating AI agents across the entire software development lifecycle with the governance, security, and support that enterprises require.”
Ashok Krish, Head - AI Practice, TCS said, “Transformation in the AI era requires not just modern tools, but a fundamental reimagining of how software is built, secured, and delivered. Our strategic partnership with GitLab is aimed at making AI real for enterprises. It enables us to bring AI-Native DevSecOps capabilities to our clients. This is particularly crucial as enterprises navigate the imperative of AI-led rapid software development while maintaining reliability, security and compliance.”
At the core of the partnership is the implementation of the GitLab Duo Agent Platform. This platform allows organizations to orchestrate agentic AI automation throughout the software lifecycle. It includes agentic chat, foundational agents developed by GitLab experts, custom agents for complex development tasks, and integrations with leading AI tools such as Claude Code from Anthropic and Codex CLI from OpenAI, all supported by strong governance and security controls.
In addition, TCS will develop industry-specific AI workflow templates and pre-built agents to address common enterprise use cases. This approach helps customers reduce time-to-value while adopting AI-powered development practices. The partnership also focuses on modernizing legacy software environments and consolidating fragmented toolchains into GitLab’s unified platform, improving visibility, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Moreover, the collaboration is expected to benefit enterprises across industries including telecommunications, media, financial services, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and the public sector. By combining GitLab’s intelligent orchestration platform with TCS’ industry expertise, enterprises can modernize operations, accelerate innovation, and confidently scale AI-enabled software delivery.
By aligning innovation with operational excellence, this partnership sets the stage for more responsible, scalable, and enterprise-ready AI adoption worldwide.
