Wipro's Demand Management and Vendor Collaboration Solutions for the Consumer Packaged Goods Industry Now SAP-Endorsed Business Solutions
iSDPS and iTPO Solutions Integrate with SAP® Applications to Optimize Inventory and Procurement Processes in Fresh Foods and Soft Goods Business Segments
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Thursday, July 01, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Wipro Technologies, the global IT services business of Wipro Limited(NYSE:WIT), today announced that two of its solutions, Sub-Daily Planning and Scheduling (iSDPS) and Third Party Ordering (iTPO), are now SAP-endorsed business solutions.
Solutions endorsed by SAP AG are complementary to SAP® software offerings, are developed in accordance with the SAP development guidelines providing additional choices and flexibility for businesses running SAP applications. To become SAP-endorsed business solutions, Wipro's iSDPS and iTPO successfully passed a testing process conducted by SAP. As part of the agreement between Wipro and SAP, both companies will share technology and product roadmaps.
Due to the perishable nature of fresh food products, consumer products companies are faced with the issue of short-lead times that require daily responses to adjust to fluctuating customer demand. The iSDPS solution helps in sub-daily production scheduling, allowing consumer products companies to effectively process last-minute customer orders, prioritize orders, manage raw materials and enhance operating efficiency. The solution facilitates reduction in inventory of raw materials by 10 to 15 percent. The solution also helps reduce production planning cycle times by more than 60 percent, optimizing production resources and labor utilization.
"We believe SAP's endorsement of our iSPDS and iTPO solutions highlights our commitment to driving business value for our customers in the consumer packaged goods industry," said Bhanu Murthy B M, senior vice president, Retail, CPG, Transportation, & Government, Wipro Technologies. "Wipro has been at the forefront of innovation and has made significant investments in non-linear initiatives, contributing eight percent to our revenues, which includes development of domain-rich solutions as part of a Strategic Horizons program. We believe that the ability of these solutions to leverage the business potential of assets provided by solutions from SAP will prove highly beneficial to current and future customer engagements."
The iTPO solution brings responsiveness and flexibility to the supply chain by allowing soft goods companies to make changes on purchase orders placed with their vendors. This solution allows these companies to better handle customer cancellations, avoiding inventory pile up, lost sales and additional transportation costs.
"By endorsing solutions such as iSDPS and iTPO, SAP continues to build its ecosystem, support our customers' businesses, drive new levels of collaboration, and provide additional solution options and flexibility to our customers," said Emiel van Schaik, senior vice president, Manufacturing & Consumer Industries sector, SAP AG. "The use of iSDPS and iTPO with SAP solutions will enable our customers to improve efficiencies and employee productivity, thus accelerating delivery of innovative products to market while lowering total cost of ownership."

Wipro Announces Legacy Migration Initiative Based on Oracle® Tuxedo
New Capabilities Simplify Legacy Migration Initiatives; Help Reduce Cost, Risks and Accelerates Migration
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Wednesday, June 30, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Wipro Technologies, the global IT services business of Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT), today announced the launch of consulting and re-hosting implementation service offerings for migration of applications running on legacy environments to Oracle's Tuxedo platform. These new services leverage the Oracle Tuxedo product portfolio to accelerate and simplify legacy migrations.
Legacy modernization is an important customer priority, given the large investment customers have in business-critical legacy applications. In an environment of constrained IT budgets, companies can no longer afford to spend majority of their IT budgets on maintaining legacy infrastructure, which crowds out investments in new business priorities. Re-hosting legacy applications - moving them intact from the legacy environment and migrating them to open systems without impacting business logic or data is an attractive migration approach. It can significantly reduce the cost, time and risk of migration and can enable customers to begin realizing savings within 12-18 months.
These new offerings enable customers to benefit from Wipro's strong abilities to deliver migration projects on the Oracle stack using industrialized methodology and automated tooling for predictable, on-time, and on-budget delivery. Wipro's specialized Centre of Excellence for Legacy Migration provides skilled resources, best migration practices and reusable rehosting and modernization frameworks to accelerate legacy migration and modernization initiatives. Oracle proven technology gives customers the confidence to migrate mission-critical applications.
Oracle Tuxedo Application Re-hosting Workbench 11g and Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for CICS and Batch 11g can help dramatically reduce migration cost, risk, project length and complexity with most legacy applications re-hosted on open systems 'as-is'. Customers can confidently migrate their applications to enable significant reductions in the cost of running online and batch applications while protecting their investment in business logic and data, and improving scalability and business continuity.
"Wipro is excited to work with Oracle to provide service offerings for migration of legacy applications to Oracle's robust and proven stack," said K R Sanjiv, Senior Vice President, Business Technology Services, Wipro Technologies. "The new solution will help reduce the change involved in the migration process, allowing us to deliver more effective migration services. Hence, our customers can now see migration results more quickly, realize savings, and leverage these savings towards additional modernization initiatives."
"Oracle Tuxedo Application Re-hosting Workbench 11g and Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for CICS and Batch 11g can dramatically streamline the migration process by providing an automated re-hosting toolset that enables more effective migration services with greater predictability, lower risk, and faster ROI," said Frank Xiong, Vice President of software development, Oracle. "Wipro can now help deliver migration projects faster and more effectively to our joint customers. This helps customers quickly achieve significant cost reductions, improved performance, flexibility, reliability, and scalability of Oracle Tuxedo and related product offerings."
