“The two-year partnership is TCS’ first engagement with McDonald’s in the Asia-Pacific region, stated TCS in an exchange filing.
TCS will implement an advanced upgrade of McDonald’s current systems in the Philippines to the cloud. By harnessing its deep industry expertise and contextual knowledge in SAP-led business systems transformation, TCS will upgrade the IT infrastructure of GADC, resulting in better insights, improved decision-making, and optimized operational performance.
GADC has grown significantly in the Philippines over the last few years, anchored on its commitment to digital transformation, including standardization of the IT landscape across all its restaurants nationwide.
TCS will also integrate other SAP capabilities to ensure comprehensive data management and automation solutions tailored to GADC’s needs. These integrations will significantly enhance the fast-food chain’s proficiency in financial management, materials management, enterprise asset management, project management, sales and distribution, user interface, and master data management.
This strategic partnership highlights TCS’ growing presence in the Philippines, where it has been operational since 2008. With over 5,000 employees in the Philippines, TCS supports customers across diverse sectors in the region including, telecom, banking and finance, real estate, and airlines, driving their growth and transformation. TCS has also been recognised as a Top Employer in the Philippines from 2017 to 2024.
