India’s leading IT services provider Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has joined hands with DevOps platform GitLab to help enterprises bring more structure and intelligence into their software development processes.
The partnership focuses on introducing agent-driven AI automation across the DevSecOps lifecycle — integrating development, security, and operations into a more unified, efficient workflow.
Bringing Coordinated AI Automation to Enterprise DevSecOps
At the heart of this collaboration is the GitLab Duo Agent Platform, which allows organisations to orchestrate AI agents across the entire software development lifecycle. The platform supports pre-built AI agents, conversational AI capabilities, and custom agent creation for complex coding and engineering tasks. It is designed to operate within enterprise governance frameworks, ensuring compliance and security remain intact.
By combining TCS’ large-scale enterprise transformation expertise with GitLab’s AI-native DevSecOps platform, the companies aim to help businesses speed up software releases while reducing operational friction. The idea is not just automation, but coordinated automation — where AI agents work together seamlessly from planning and coding to testing and deployment.
The platform also integrates with external AI tools such as Claude Code from Anthropic and Codex CLI from OpenAI, giving enterprises flexibility in choosing AI tools while maintaining centralised oversight and control.
TCS said the partnership is aimed at making AI adoption more practical for large organisations. As enterprises push for faster, AI-led software innovation, they are also under pressure to maintain reliability, security, and regulatory compliance. The collaboration seeks to balance speed with responsibility.
As part of the initiative, TCS will develop industry-specific AI workflow templates and ready-to-use agents tailored to common business challenges. This is expected to shorten implementation timelines and deliver quicker business outcomes.
The partnership will also support companies looking to modernise legacy systems, reduce toolchain complexity, and migrate to GitLab’s unified platform. From early-stage assessments and migration strategies to custom agent development and managed services, TCS will provide end-to-end support through its Centres of Excellence.
The companies said the joint offering will target global enterprises across sectors such as telecom, media, financial services, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and public services — industries where secure, scalable, and faster software delivery is becoming a competitive necessity rather than a choice.
