• NAF, a leading national education nonprofit organization, turned to Tata Consultancy Services’ Tech4HOPE pro bono consulting and services program to help improve educational outcomes.
• The effort leveraged TCS’ expertise in data visualization technology to significantly improve NAF’s interpretation of complex datasets and make them easier to access.
• As a result, NAF has deeper insights into the factors unpinning student potential, enabling them to develop more effective, customized approaches to helping students achieve their potential.

For years, student need in the U.S. has been measured by relative poverty alone and specifically by student eligibility for free and reduced-price lunches, while ignoring other factors. Now, more meaningful and actionable considerations are available through the efforts of NAF, a US nonprofit organization dedicated to student success, through TCS’ Tech4HOPE pro bono services program.

The measure of how many students qualify for free and reduced-price lunches from the federal government has been the way schools qualify for Title I, Part A (Title I) funding since about 2010. Part of the U.S. Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA), Title I provides funding to school districts for children from low-income families. The supplemental funding is meant to close educational achievement gaps and ensure students have fair access to a high-quality education.

Acutely aware that many factors beyond household income and food security are roadblocks to student potential, NAF created the Open Data Index for Schools (ODIS) application. A free, first-of-its-kind open data resource, ODIS provides insights into the variety of community barriers facing more than 23,000 US high schools. The goal of the tool is to improve education and student achievement by overcoming as many barriers to success as possible. With that mandate, NAF turned to TCS and its Tech4HOPE pro bono consulting and services program for support to make data output from ODIS more accessible and understandable.

For the project, TCS Tech4HOPE employee volunteers improved and expanded output from ODIS by creating enhanced data visualizations, resulting in more nuanced snapshots of the challenges facing marginalized communities. More than simply presenting data in charts or graphs, the new data visualizations reveal more detailed and compelling insights about the individuals behind the data. This makes it easier for people of all data skill levels—from beginners to data scientists—to better understand and interact with the information.

NAF is now using these easy-to-decipher visuals to develop more customized approaches to helping students achieve their full potential. TCS Tech4HOPE volunteers also delivered a digital toolkit to help ODIS users more easily extract datasets and interpret them.

“Thanks to TCS, the front-end of our Open Data Index tool will be dramatically enhanced, making visual storytelling and data interpretation more intuitive and impactful, said Dr. Nicholas Minar, Director of Research & Reporting at NAF. “In a world overflowing with data, clear and concise insights are essential for driving place-based philanthropy. We’re excited that TCS helped us take this tool to the next level, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions that support students and communities.”

NAF brings schools and businesses together to better prepare high school students for college, career, and future success. Among the organization’s strategies are experiential hands-on learning activities that complement career-focused program of study. They are served through NAF academies and are delivered in partnership with the private sector.

“Through our collaboration with NAF, we were able to leverage our expertise by creating tools that significantly enhance the accessibility and understanding of ODIS’ complex datasets,” said Ashvini Saxena, VP and Global Head, TCS Digital Software & Solutions, who served as the NAF project lead. “It’s a great feeling to know that our efforts will improve the lives of students in local US communities by improving their future opportunities for success.”

We live in a hyperconnected world where digital access must be instant, reliable, and always available. From generative AI and cloud computing to streaming platforms and e-commerce, our reliance on digital infrastructure is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. At the center of this transformation is the data center – the silent engine powering the global digital economy.

Whether massive hyperscale campuses driving global cloud services or distributed edge sites enabling low-latency AI applications, data centers must deliver reliability, efficiency, and security, all with the ability to scale seamlessly. Yet behind the walls of every facility lies a critical enabler that often goes unnoticed: the complex logistics ecosystem required to build, expand, and maintain these environments without disruption.

DP World is uniquely positioned to support this mission. As a global end-to-end logistics provider with operations in 75+ countries, advanced contract logistics capabilities, and deep experience in managing data center operations and technology supply chains, the company plays a central role in ensuring data centers go live faster and operate more reliably over time.

Building Data Centers Is a High-Stakes Operation

Data centers may support digital workloads, but their development is intensely physical. Constructing or upgrading a facility requires the precise movement of thousands of components – many of which are sensitive, high-value, heavy, or time-critical. These include:

• Server racks and frames
• High-density compute and storage equipment
• Cooling and power systems (e.g., chillers, PDUs, UPS units)
• Structured cabling and networking gear
• Specialized packaging, staging tools, and handling equipment

The challenge is far more complex than moving equipment from point A to point B. It requires:

• Synchronizing just-in-time deliveries with construction timelines
• Ensuring secure handling and chain-of-custody for mission-critical assets
• Navigating global regulatory and customs requirements
• Scaling operations to match fast-paced deployment cycles
• Compliance with local laws and regulations

Tier I–IV data centers operate under strict technical requirements. A single missed delivery can derail a go-live schedule; a damaged component can cause costly downtime. Many facilities are also built in remote locations near power sources, requiring specialized routing, access planning, and multimodal coordination.

For cloud providers, colocation operators, and enterprises, logistics is no longer just a support function – it is a competitive differentiator.

Complex Deployments Demand a Partner with Full Lifecycle Expertise

DP World brings far more than transportation to data center deployments. With integrated logistics and data center operations services, the company orchestrates the entire lifecycle:

1. Inbound, Product Configuration and Rack Integration 

We manage rack assembly, software replication, and testing in-house, with full system links for fast, precise configuration and fulfillment.

2. Operating Hub and Spoke Warehouses

4. Reverse Logistics and Decommissioning

From secure returns to safe disposal, we manage every stage of the asset lifecycle with full traceability, regulatory compliance, and chain-of-custody control.

Every step demands precise coordination. With the right systems and experience, even the most complex deployments are executed smoothly, safely, and on schedule.

• AI and machine learning workloads are growing exponentially
• Cloud and SaaS providers are scaling at unprecedented speed
• 5G and edge computing are distributing infrastructure across new geographies
• Regulatory and security expectations are tightening
• Sustainability requirements are reshaping site selection and operations

Operators must deliver high performance, near-perfect uptime, and improved energy efficiency – while expanding capacity at record speed. These realities demand a smarter logistics model: globally connected, locally responsive, technologically advanced, and capable of managing continuous infrastructure refresh cycles.

• A global multimodal logistics network
• Specialized data center handling and assembly capabilities
• Contract logistics operations that support staging, configuration, and integration
• Robust digital tools for coordination, tracking, and risk management
• End-to-end lifecycle support, including deployment, upgrades, and decommissioning

Every January, hundreds of Aflac sales leaders gather together to lay the foundation for what’s ahead for the year. It’s an event full of exciting energy and unforgettable moments. The most notable: a charitable auction that raised more than $870,000 for the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, breaking the previous record of $770,000.

 

The items donated and auctioned during a festive “auction for a cause” event included tickets to the Aflac Kickoff Game in September 2026, tickets to the World Cup in Atlanta, Atlanta Braves tickets and more. All proceeds will be used to support treatments and research for kids with pediatric cancer and blood disorders.

Aflac’s partnership with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta began in 1995 with an initial company donation of $3 million. Now, thanks to the generosity and compassion of Aflac’s leaders and sales team, more than 25 percent of that amount was raised in a single night, helping turn that initial contribution of $3 million to nearly $200 million given to support pediatric cancer and blood disorder research, treatment and family support services.

The Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center has grown into one of the largest pediatric hematology and oncology programs in the southeast — a place where more than 500 children with cancer and over 2,100 children with sickle cell disease begin their care each year. Backed by more than 200 active clinical trials and a deeply committed team of physicians, nurses and researchers, the center has become a hub of innovation, continually redefining what’s possible in pediatric medicine.

For 30 years, that same spirit of compassion and innovation has guided Aflac’s support. And for Aflac’s employees and independent agents, success isn’t measured in numbers or milestones, but in the lived moments: a child’s smile breaking through a difficult day, a parent’s sigh of relief, and the steady progress made toward better outcomes for kids facing cancer and blood disorders. From fueling groundbreaking research to helping families with everyday needs like transportation, lodging and emotional care, the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center embraces a holistic model that supports every dimension of a family’s journey.
