To help customers to understand technology better Wipro partners up with IBM.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the increased adoption of cloud services and its associated offerings, due to the onset of work from home culture. This increase in demand for cloud offerings asked for many similar partnerships between cloud service and IT service firms to help with digital transformations.
In March, Infosys partnered with IBM to launch industry-specific cloud services for businesses. In the start of June, HCL joined hands with Google Cloud to facilitate organizations in their digital transformation journey. Recently, Indian IT services firm Wipro has partnered with IBM, US tech giant to help customers migrate to hybrid cloud.
Hybrid cloud is a notable advancement in the cloud computing environment, which uses the blend of on-premises IT infrastructure and cloud services that are available private as well as public.
Partnership offering:
Wipro’s customers are offered remote access to IBM’s open-source cloud offering- Red Hat solutions, which can help them scale their technology investments for better and improved experience and develop business agility with connected insights.
These IBM cloud offerings alongside in-house IT services are used by Wipro to develop industry solutions for clients in segments such as banking and financial services, energy and utilities, retail, manufacturing and healthcare.
“Wipro empowers customers across industries to re-imagine their cloud journey with its business-first strategy and industrialized solutions approach. Wipro IBM Novus Lounge will allow us to showcase hybrid multi-cloud and open source solutions even more comprehensively and support our customers’ continuous business transformation journey,” said Ramesh Nagarajan, senior vice president, Cloud Services, Wipro.
Gaurav Sharma, vice president, Cloud and Cognitive Software, IBM India, said, Wipro IBM Novus Lounge would bring together Wipro’s expertise across industries and IBM’s open-source technologies all running on Red Hat OpenShift.
Arvind Krishna, IBM CEO said during a recent IBM Think event that the pace of cloud adoption has accelerated, more since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and shelter-at-place regulations. And IBM sees this as an opportunity to tap into with the hybrid cloud offering through Red Hat.
Experts believe that though they witness a drop in customer spending however cloud will continue to drive the growth of the firm.
