TCS to support Roche’s initiative

MUMBAI: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Tuesday announced a partnership with Roche, the Switzerland-based healthcare group, to advance Roche’s global capacity building initiative (GCBI).

The new initiative will provide services to a number of areas in Roche’s development organisation, including clinical data management, clinical programming, biostatistics and drug safety support.

The aim of the collaboration is to create a flexible, scalable and high-quality partnership to support the demands of Roche’s increasing drug pipeline.

The partnership will help Roche leverage the extensive talent pool in India, maximise synergies, and gain ongoing cost and process improvements, while maintaining high quality and service levels.

According to Jean-Jacques Garaud, Global Head of Pharma Development at Roche, “For Roche, it was key to find the best partner for our GCBI initiative and the collaboration with TCS is the result of an extensive international search. The partnership with TCS will allow us to address the growing operational needs of our development organisation and to handle the increasing workload.”

Located in Mumbai, the GCBI programme consists of a team of highly qualified pharmacologists, physicians, biostatisticians, pharmacists and informatics specialists.

TCS will be working closely with Roche and contribute its strong domain expertise, talent management skills, flexible operating models, transition capabilities and performance-driven processes to the initiative. The life sciences and healthcare practices section at the company has over 3,200 professionals, including pharmacologists, physicians and biomedical engineers.
