editMuch of the creative work TCS had done out of India before IT Outsourcing became so popular is still unknown to the public. In the early 1980's when a research paper on Local Area Networks was first published in the US (much before IEEE accepted LAN and formalized it into IEEE 802standard) the company embarked on writing a communication software leveraging LAN technology which was code named Falcon. The project was completed in a fast pace and is believed to be the first LAN-based communication software. The product did not see much light though. The project was spearheaded by Rajesh Hukku, a TCS employee who later went on to work with CitiGroup and helped start Citi's offshore banking software development initiative which was spun off as iFlex Solutions (later acquired by Oracle Corp) and produced the FlexCube Banking Suite which ranked as world's largest selling banking product suite for several years.
Another creative work by TCS is the creation of its own banking product called Quartz. TCS developed its own framework which could be customized to build specific banking software modules and for this purpose created a new special (limited) purpose programming language called Q++. Quartz ceased to exist as the technology landscape changed tremendously and TCS then acquired Australian Financial Software firm FNS to integrate FNS's core banking product with various in-house financial services industry products and is today marketed as TCS BaNCS. Today TCS BaNCS Suite is a comprehensive product that can cater to the larger needs of internationally spread financial services firms and has more than 200 banking customers across the world as of October 2011. BaNCS has considerably stepped up TCS's prospects for non-linear growth (growth from billing received on employees newly recruited for IT contracts instead of creating patented products or platforms that could generate revenues without additional recruitment - critically acclamied as body shopping).
