TCS assists AIB Life's Irish launch

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has assisted AIB Life, a joint venture between Allied Irish banks and Great-West Lifeco, in launching its operations in Ireland with an advanced digital-first platform.

TCS was selected as the strategic partner to help build a digital-first, full-service life company for the Irish market.

TCS helped create a modern, cloud-based technology stack ground up, with its flagship insurance platform TCS BaNCS at the core that gives AIB's 3.2 million customers the ability to access financial advice.

In addition to designing and deploying the enabling technology stack, TCS will also provide IT, customer, and claims-handling services for AIB life in a managed insurance services model.

AIB Life has entered into a 10-year partnership with TCS to build and operate a future-ready digital infrastructure that enables customers to more effectively plan their finances and investments.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is a bright shining star in the galaxy of Tata Group companies.

TCS has been one of the favourite stocks of investors because of the performance it has delivered since its listing.

If you had invested Rs 1 lakh in TCS shares at the issue price of Rs 850 in the IPO in 2004, the value of that investment today would be around Rs 3,176,000, a return of almost 3,000% by August 2022.
