Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) has signed a multiyear, multimillion-euro agreement with Canada Life to modernize the insurer’s IT infrastructure services across Europe, as India’s largest software services exporter pushes deeper into AI-led transformation work.
The deal covers managed services and transformation work across Canada Life’s European businesses, TCS said in a statement on Monday, 8 June.
The company did not disclose the exact value or duration of the contract beyond describing it as multiyear and multimillion-euro.
Under the agreement, TCS will use its AI and digital capabilities to modernize and manage Canada Life’s data centers, core infrastructure, end-user computing and software lifecycle management.
The program is aimed at improving operational resilience, raising automation levels and enhancing user experience for the insurer’s customers.
The contract adds to TCS’s push to position itself as an AI-led technology services firm at a time when global insurers are upgrading legacy systems, cutting operating complexity and seeking more resilient digital infrastructure.
“Working with TCS marks the next stage of our journey to modernize the technology foundations that underpin our business, and it was important to choose a partner that understands our long-term vision and shares our commitment to people and innovation,” said Caroline Dibbs, Chief Information and Transformation Officer, Europe, at Canada Life.
“TCS brings deep technical expertise, strong transformation capabilities and a collaborative approach that aligns well with our strategy,” Dibbs said. “Together, we will deliver lasting improvements to the technology services and capabilities that support our business and the people who depend on it.”
TCS said the partnership will combine its technology capabilities with Canada Life’s internal teams to build the foundation for the insurer’s long-term technology modernization program.
The work is expected to deliver “high-quality, cost-effective, performance driven IT services” and help Canada Life scale technology services more effectively, according to the statement.
The agreement will also require TCS to build talent across infrastructure services in the UK, Ireland, the Isle of Man and Germany.
The company said it will invest in learning, certification and career development opportunities as part of the program.
“We are delighted to be selected as the strategic partner for Canada Life’s technology modernization journey across the UK and Europe,” said Vinay Singhvi, Head, UK and Ireland, TCS.
“This co-operation is a testament to our leadership in AI-led transformation, marking a significant step on our journey to becoming the world’s largest AI-led technology services company,” Singhvi said. “By leveraging our deep domain expertise, we will help Canada Life achieve greater operational efficiency, enhance resilience, and create a more agile, responsive IT ecosystem to support their long-term growth.”
The deal strengthens TCS’s position in the banking, financial services and insurance sector in the UK and Europe, where insurers and pension providers are under pressure to modernize technology platforms while maintaining service reliability.
TCS said it has worked with insurance, life and pensions providers across the UK and Europe and described the Canada Life deal as part of its continued expansion in the UK and Ireland as a strategic services hub.
TCS, which operates in 56 countries and has 194 service delivery centers, generated consolidated revenue of more than $30 billion in the fiscal year ended 31 March 2026. The company has said it aims to become the world’s largest AI-led technology services company.
