The first phase will encompass major manufacturing sites in the UK and will continue with other locations around the world.

ERP systems are also able to aggregate, store and interpret data to provide instant information, enabling companies to respond to problems, challenges and opportunities in an agile and timely manner. The agreement further promotes Jaguar Land Rover’s alignment with Tata Group companies as part of its Reimagine strategy. Tata Technologies has over 30 years of experience in product and digital engineering, with a global network of 11,000 innovators and customers in 27 countries.
