| Value Engineering |
With increasing pressure on products to do more, organizations are increasingly looking at Re-Engineering existing products to extend their life and make them more competitive. This can be done by reducing the cost of the product to spur sales or add functionality to have a derivative product.
Wipro leveraged these services for a consumer electronics firm looking to reduce the total cost of production of a media & entertainment product that was 18 months from end-of-life. Wipro, through redesign of the hardware while maintaining the regulatory compliance requirements, was able to provide a cost reduction of $2 million.
Wipro provides cost-effective implementation through alternate sourcing, qualification of component MTBF and component substitution for existing designs. Furthermore, Wipro can re-engineer an existing product for better ergonomics and optimize the cost vs. performance of a product to make an existing product market ready.

| Port on Demand |
Wipro has a unique ‘Port-on-Demand’ service for porting of analog-mixed signal IC designs from one process/geometry to another process/geometry. Port-on-Demand helps reduce the overall effort spent in this porting by ensuring minimal design set up at start of migration. The service ensures high quality, reliability of migrated designs and minimal design finishing to reach target process/foundry.
For example, for a European IDM, Wipro ported a chip with 17 modules (including RF blocks) from TSMC CMOS090RF (90nm RF) to TSMC CMOS065RF (65nm RF). This helped the client save 11 weeks from the estimated 15-18 month cycle time to redevelop the existing GSM IP in 65nm. The development cost savings were close to 50%.

| Alternate Pricing Models |
Traditionally, majority of the projects use models like fixed price or time & materials based pricing. However, the changing market dynamics makes it imperative to look at alternate models which are based on business outcomes.
Wipro offers the following alternate pricing models: |
|
Risk-Reward Based Pricing
Wipro shares the upfront costs of development and the downstream revenue generated by the new product or service with its clients. This is based on a partnering culture with our clients. The level of initial investment is gauged in advance and then accordingly performance measures like ROI etc. are established. This also helps in leveraging the intellectual property of our clients.
Gain Sharing/Business Benefits based Pricing
Payment is in proportion to the business value generated by the project or service offered by Wipro, such as a percentage of increased profit or reduced operating expenses. This works best when there are well-defined baselines and goals. Instead of linking bonuses and penalties to just savings, other metrics like revenue, service volume etc. are also used. The choice of the benchmark metric would depend upon the nature of the project. This helps in the alignment of business value generated and cost to our clients. There is also no investment for new technologies or processes.
