In today’s fast paced and ever evolving world, data and AI have become the essential trajectories in a company’s growth story. While AI is the engine that drives data analytics, data is the fuel that powers it. Together, they have the potential to revolutionise the way companies work. AI can help make sense of the vast amounts of data that is generated every day and use it competitively to make better business decisions.
In 2018, Tata Business Excellence Group (TBExG), in partnership with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) launched Data Excellence Assessments. Built on the TCS Datom™ framework, Data Excellence Assessments is a unique and comprehensive approach to evaluate an enterprise's data and analytics maturity. The evaluation focuses on how the organisation governs, manages and utilises data for generating insights across its entire spectrum. It provides context-based details on the implementation of data and analytics programmes in the organisation, thereby empowering them to achieve business goals with clear definitions of the technology, processes, roadmap and people competencies.
TCS Datom™ being a dynamic maturity model, adapts to the industry shifts and market dynamics. At the Tata group level there is currently a high emphasis on AI, with many companies leveraging AI and other advanced techniques for making strategic business decisions. To aid this, the TCS Datom™ framework has been enhanced to include the AI Foundation module as part of its diagnostic model.
Tata Communications has been the first company to be assessed with the refreshed TCS Datom™ framework including the AI Foundation. The Assessment team was led by Sarajit Jha, Chief Business Transformation & Digital Solutions, Tata Steel, and mentored by Harit Nagpal, MD, CEO, Tata Play, along with other Group company Assessors.
Tata Communications welcomed the feedback and recommendations and has eagerly set forth plans to accelerate its journey on Data Excellence.
