On Wednesday, BT Group announced that its Digital unit has partnered with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to modernise the legacy IT estate. TCS would be working with BT Group to ramp down over 70% of its Digital's legacy technology estate. This is a part of BT's modernisation and simplification programme. The deal would help BT in increasing savings over the coming years. According to the company, the deal would simplify and restructure its Digital's existing supplier relationships, which would help in annual savings of £65 million by the end of FY25. This would increase to £145 million by the end of 2027. The partnership would contribute to BT's ambition of delivering around £3 billion in gross annualised savings across the same timeframe.
