Cisco Black Belt Academy: Catalyzing Wipro's delivery practice

Cisco's Black Belt Academy is a comprehensive enablement framework for Cisco architectures and has become foundational training for Wipro employees. Wipro requires delivery teams to complete the Black Belt program to ensure they always adhere to Cisco's best practices. With over 1,000 Cisco Black Belt certifications, Wipro is one of the top Black Belt partners. The structured certification targeting relevant delivery teams and technology towers has enabled Wipro to drive adoption of Cisco Black Belt learning tracks throughout the organization and empower customers to harness the full potential of their Cisco technology stacks.

Because the scope of Global med-tech company project was so huge, Aman Pal, a Senior Project Engineer at Wipro, turned to Black Belt for extra support. “As soon as I was on-boarded into the project,” he said, “I enrolled myself into Cisco Black Belt's SD-WAN deployment and support learning path.” The program helped him better “articulate problem statements and their solutions” to customers, and “vastly helped to prepare HLD & LLD for the project."

"Customer experience is at the core of everything we do,” said Apurba Dutta, General Manager and Practice Head of Network Practice at Wipro. "Black Belt Academy helps us efficiently deliver our solutions built on Cisco to our customers."

Cisco Black Belt Academy has helped Wipro's delivery teams to not only upskill their know-how about the latest developments in Cisco, but also apply their skills to deliver differentiated customer experiences. The Academy represents a powerful addition to Wipro and Cisco’s longstanding partnership. With ongoing educational support and skills development, the Academy promises to strengthen the competitive edge of these two industry leaders, and keep them equipped with the expertise necessary to help businesses thrive.
