TCS bags multi-million dollar deal from Lufthansa

Mumbai: Country's largest software exporter TCS has been chosen by German aviation major Deutsche Lufthansa AG to set up a test factory to support its IT transformation initiative in a "multi-million dollar" deal.

TCS will provide testing services and help improve the quality of services of Lufthansa's technology operations, the Tata Group company said in a statement.

It will pioneer and manage the enterprise testing services by setting up a test factory model across Lufthansa to streamline and standardise their testing processes, reduce capital expenditure and implement next generation services.
