Bengaluru: India’s Wipro Limited, an information technology, consulting and business process services company, has selected Google Cloud as the cloud provider for its enterprise-wide SAP footprint.

The engagement will bring SAP applications and workloads to the cloud to support Wipro’s 180,000 employees.

This latest collaboration further strengthens the relationship between the two companies as they roll out two major initiatives across Wipro’s global organisation.

Embracing digital transformation

Wipro will modernise and transform its core ERP system to SAP’s flagship S/4HANA and migrate the SAP workloads onto Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Wipro will leverage the advanced intelligent ERP from SAP along with the flexibility and scalability of the GCP for hosting SAP Workloads.

“As a provider of digital transformation services to some of the world’s most impactful businesses, it is critical that our own core systems and technologies are running on intelligent and modern platforms that encompass the needs of the future,” said Bhanumurthy B.M, President and Chief Operating Officer, Wipro Limited. 

“This transformation program will help us to run our most business-critical workloads and applications with speed and agility, and support our customers more effectively.”

“Wipro is embracing digital transformation at speed and scale. By modernizing their core IT and communication systems with the cloud, they have a powerful and scalable foundation to accelerate their strategic enterprise priorities and build for the future.” said Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud.

Transforming employee experience

Wipro will roll out G Suite for some of their employees as a workplace productivity platform. Factors that led the company to integrate the intuitive, cloud-native solution included G Suite’s strong interoperability and security controls, and features that enable real-time collaboration even in remote-work environments.
