As organisations accelerate their digital transformation journeys, expectations from technology partners are evolving rapidly. Today’s clients demand agile delivery, tangible ROI, accelerated time-to-market, and outcomes that deliver real business value. These expectations, coupled with legislative obligations such as the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act (SOCI Act) in Australia, are driving a fundamental rethink of how, what, and where technology services are provisioned to meet growing sovereign and resilience requirements.
Why Sovereign Delivery Matters
Compliance is no longer optional - it’s mission-critical. Organisations must ensure that technology services adhere to local data residency, privacy, and security requirements while maintaining operational excellence. A sovereign shared services delivery model is key to achieving cost efficiency, innovation, and resilience across technology landscapes, while meeting SOCI Act obligations.

Wipro’s Sovereign Enterprise Services Shield is a next-generation, Australian-based shared services delivery model, purpose-built to help organisations enhance ROI, boost operational efficiency, and elevate customer experience - all while meeting the regulatory, operational, and security requirements of the Australian market.

Where appropriate, and with explicit customer consent, we can seamlessly extend capability offshore - ensuring flexibility without compromising compliance.
