40 Years Service - May 2008

This year TCS Computer Services Limited celebrates its 40th year in business providing IT and IS services to businesses in the UK.

Twinlock Computer Services, as TCS was formerly known, started life in June 1967 as part of the Twinlock organisation providing outsourced computer processing services to large organisations.

After a management buy-out in October 1968, Twinlock Computer Services became a separate legal entity and was shortly renamed to TCS Computer Bureau in January 1972.

As both technologies and service delivery methods in the IT industry moved away from computer bureaus, a further name change to our present name TCS Computer Services occurred in 1981.

Since then TCS has traded as a Custom Software Development House with a focus on utilising Microsoft Technologies in its solutions.  TCS continue to provide both Software Development and Business Intelligence Development and Support services to its clients.

iCube.NET Certified - March 2008

TCS developed for first version of iCube (as it was previously named) back in 2003 when there was a need from one of their clients for a simple and cost effective solution to display OLAP data in a dynamic way for ad-hoc reporting.

iCube was then developed further over a number of versions with the addition of user and group security and greater flexibility for report generation, saving, printing and publishing.

During 2007, TCS continued the development of iCube migrating it to the Microsoft .NET platform and renaming it to iCube.NET v4.

In March 2008 TCS submitted iCube.NET v4 to VeriTest (the Testing and Certification partner to Microsoft) and shortly received notification that it had passed the Microsoft ISV Platform Test marking a milestone for the software and the company.
