SINGAPORE, DETROIT, LONDON and PUNE, India, April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Tata
Technologies Limited, a global leader in Engineering Services Outsourcing
(ESO) , Product Development IT services, and Product Lifecycle Management
(PLM) this week announced the launch of its brand worldwide, and the
retirement of the brand names of its former operating companies, INCAT and
iKnowledge Solutions (iKS). The global consolidation of the company has
yielded an all-new organization that incorporates the best of its former
operating companies.

"We are today an integrated global company. We have demonstrated the value
that integrated global delivery brings to our clients, employees and
shareholders. Now, with the heightened awareness of, and the high regard for,
the Tata brand worldwide, we should take this opportunity to unify under the
power of the global brand to further grow the organization," said Patrick
McGoldrick, CEO - Tata Technologies.

"The Tata Technologies brand gives us an enhanced opportunity to establish our
position as a world-leading partner to the global manufacturing industry,
leveraging the Tata reputation for excellence and integrity," added Warren
Harris, President and COO - Tata Technologies.

"This represents the culmination of an evolutionary process begun more than
four years ago," Harris explained. "The launch of this new organization
provides us with limitless opportunities and provides us economies of scale
otherwise unavailable to us."

The new Tata Technologies is organized under a global structure, divided into
two go-to-market divisions: Global Services, headed by Samir Yajnik, President
-- Global Services; and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Solutions, headed
by David Myers, President PLM Solutions. The company also operates with a
single globally integrated delivery organization led by Kevin Fisher, Head of
Delivery Operations and T Rajasekaran, Head of Delivery Process and Quality.

INCAT and iKS became members of the Tata Group when they were acquired by Tata
Technologies Limited in 2005. Since that acquisition, the companies operated
under their respective brands worldwide. INCAT was a global ESO provider and a
world leader in PLM services delivery. iKS was a pioneering provider of
knowledge management solutions and was best known for i get it(R), the
industry-leading knowledge management application. All products and services
