Our service philosophy
At Tata Communications, we understand that how we do things is every bit as important to our customers as the things that we do. So, we’re always flexible, always available, and always positive. Going the extra mile doesn’t even come close to describing it. More than an SLA, it’s a state of mind – constantly checking that we are doing everything within our power to help our customers. Whatever it takes, is what we do.
Service excellence is not just about availability and uptime of services. We understand it’s about listening to our customers, understanding how they work, what their business challenges are and helping them solve these so that they’ll get more value out of their technology investments.
“Tata Communications’ willingness to commit to the most stringent of service level agreements, along with its breadth of quality services, made them the obvious choice of partner”. — Darren Russell, Global IT Director, Mott Macdonald.
