Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a well-known global company specialising in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has agreed to buy Coastal Cloud. Coastal Cloud is a top Salesforce Summit partner focused on Salesforce consulting. TCS will purchase the entire company for $700 million in cash.
Coastal Cloud was founded in 2012. It is a top Salesforce consulting company that works with many different Salesforce products. Coastal Cloud helps large companies transform how they utilise technology by offering advice with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). They support customers in improving sales, service, marketing, revenue, and more. Coastal Cloud is known for having strong, long-lasting partnerships with its clients.
In October 2025, TCS enhanced its Salesforce services by acquiring ListEngage, a company with expertise in Agentforce, Marketing, and Commerce Cloud. Now, by acquiring Coastal Cloud, TCS will add over 400 experienced professionals and more than 3,000 certifications in different Salesforce products. Coastal Cloud works with a wide range of businesses. TCS will also be able to serve more mid-size companies and create better cooperation between Coastal Cloud and TCS customers.
After buying ListEngage and Coastal Cloud, TCS will be one of the top five Salesforce consulting companies in the world.
