As part of its Latin American expansion plans, IT major Tata Consultancy Services has set up another global delivery centre in Uruguay and will will house over 250 personnel.

"As we expand our operations in Latin America, which now comprise centres in Uruguay, Brazil and Chile, we will continue to invest in infrastructure and people, to provide high-quality services to our clients with increased value and lowered risk," TCS executive vice president and head (global sales and operations) N Chandrasekaran said.

The company undertook this investment to support the expansion of its Latin American business and proactively lower risk for its clients by providing an alternative back-up site in Uruguay, he said.

But, the company did not divulge the financial investment for the new centre.
