Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), one of the world’s leading IT services and consulting companies, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire a 100% stake in Coastal Cloud for an all-cash consideration of USD 700 million. The deal marks a major expansion of TCS’ Salesforce consulting and advisory capabilities, reinforcing its position among the top Salesforce partners globally.
Coastal Cloud, founded in 2012, is recognized as a premier Salesforce Summit Partner with deep multi-cloud expertise. The company has built a strong reputation for driving enterprise-scale digital transformations across Sales, Service, Marketing, Revenue, CPQ, Commerce and Salesforce Data Cloud. Its AI-led advisory and consulting strengths, combined with long-standing customer relationships, make it a strategic fit for TCS’ growing Salesforce practice. The firm is led by Salesforce veteran Eric Berridge and has the backing of Salesforce Ventures—further underlining its credibility in the ecosystem.
This acquisition follows TCS’ recent purchase of ListEngage in October 2025, another respected Salesforce Summit Partner known for its specialization in Agentforce, Marketing Cloud and Commerce Cloud. With Coastal Cloud’s addition, TCS gains more than 400 experienced professionals and over 3,000 multi-cloud certifications, significantly expanding its talent pool and delivery capabilities. TCS will also gain stronger access to the mid-market customer segment while unlocking synergies across both organizations’ client portfolios.
Together, the ListEngage and Coastal Cloud acquisitions place TCS among the top five Salesforce advisory and consulting firms globally. The combined expertise enhances TCS’ ability to deliver end-to-end Salesforce transformation programs across industries and geographies, strengthening its competitive positioning in the high-growth cloud and CRM services market.
TCS emphasized that these strategic moves align with the company’s broader M&A focus areas, which include AI, Cloud, Cybersecurity, Digital Engineering and Enterprise Solutions. The latest acquisition also reinforces TCS’ long-standing commitment to the United States, its largest global market. With over five decades of presence in the region, TCS continues to invest in capabilities that help American enterprises accelerate digital transformation and prepare for the future.
