TCS' Global Business Reporting project with Eli Lilly won the award in the Information Leadership category. "The TCS team, both on-shore and off-shore, has demonstrated an outstanding level of professionalism and partnership.  The Global Reporting Project was extremely complex and required a significant level of understanding of local needs around the globe.  In addition to providing strong IT competency, the TCS team was able to forge a true partnership with the Lilly team to ultimately deliver a top grade solution to our customers around the world," said Zuheir Shahwan, Director, Global Commercial Operations - Commercial Intelligence at Eli Lilly and Company.

"TCS has been a key partner in helping us implement a new business transformation project within our automotive business that will not only bring our performance to the next level but has also won us recognition in the ML 100 'Information Leadership' category," said Randall Urban, IT Vice President of Johnson Controls, Inc.
