ALLARI vs. TCS
The scale-driven offshore model versus the precision-embedded execution model. Both serve enterprise IT. The delivery philosophy couldn't be more different.
| Dimension | TCS | Allari |
|---|---|---|
| Company Scale | $29B+ revenue, 580,000+ employees. India's largest IT services firm, operating in 53+ countries. | Self-funded since 1999, 51-200 employees. Purpose-built for enterprise IT operational capacity. |
| Pricing Model | Primarily FTE-based or ticket-based pricing, with emerging hybrid and outcome-based models. | Capped-consumption (NTE) with actual-spend billing. You pay for work consumed in 15-minute increments. Unused budget returned. |
| Team Model | Offshore-centric delivery from India-based global delivery centers. Resources may rotate across accounts. | Permanent Embedded Outcome Teams operating as an extension of your IT function. Named engineers who learn your environment and stay. |
| Attrition & Continuity | Attrition rate of 13.5% (Q3 FY26). Headcount has declined for multiple consecutive quarters. Knowledge transfer risk is structural. | Embedded teams are permanent by design. No offshore bench rotation. Tribal knowledge accumulates, it doesn't walk out the door. |
| Transparency | Standard MSP reporting. Cost visibility varies by contract structure. Complex billing models can make true cost attribution difficult. | OpenBook™ — every task, every hour, every dollar visible in real time. Forensic-grade audit trail on all operational activity. |
| Specialization | Full-spectrum IT services: application development, BPO, consulting, infrastructure, cloud. Managed services is one of many offerings. | Singular focus: enterprise IT operational capacity. Deep platform expertise in JDE, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Fusion, PeopleSoft. 27 years of operational data. |
| Cost Compression | Traditional FTE model has limited structural incentive to reduce costs over time. AI pricing models are 'still evolving.' | Systematic cost compression built into the model. 19% verified cost compression in Year 1 at Site HT-2025. |
| Delivery Location | Primarily offshore (India) with onshore presence for client-facing roles. Time zone gaps can be a factor. | Follow-the-sun coverage with embedded team members who integrate into your operational rhythm. No offshore handoff gaps. |
When TCS Makes Sense
TCS is the right choice when you need:
- •Massive scale — hundreds or thousands of resources deployed globally for a large outsourcing engagement
- •Cost arbitrage through offshore labor rates on high-volume, process-driven work
- •A single vendor to handle IT services, BPO, consulting, and application development under one contract
- •A publicly-traded partner with Fortune 500 brand recognition for enterprise procurement requirements
When Allari Is the Better Fit
Allari is the better fit when you need:
- →Team stability — named engineers who stay on your account, not a rotating offshore bench with 13.5% annual attrition
- →Deep platform knowledge in JDE, SAP, or Oracle — not generalist resources learning your environment on your dime
- →Real-time cost transparency, not quarterly reports and complex billing models
- →A partner whose costs go down as your operations improve — not a model that profits from maintaining your dependency
- →Embedded execution, not remote oversight — your team should feel like they gained capacity, not added a vendor
I've worked with Allari over the past couple of years in an Enterprise IT environment. During this time, their engineers added great value to our IT Operations & Project team exceeding our expectations. Their proactive and productive engineers were some of the best I have ever been around. They complete the work when we needed it and how we needed it. They offer a fantastic value proposition for today's complex IT environments. I highly recommend them! A+
