United Bank of India Selects Wipro to

Deploy Wide Area Network Optimization

Solution

Bangalore, India - May 16, 2011: 

Wipro Infotech, the India, Middle East and Africa, IT Business Unit of Wipro Ltd, and a leading provider of IT and business transformation services announced today that United Bank of India, one of the leading nationalized banks of the country, has selected Wipro to deploy a wide area network optimization solution from Cisco for all of its 1600 plus branches & offices. The deployment is amongst the largest globally for any Public Sector Bank.

The solution, enabled by the power of the network, facilitates UBI's vision of  providing the benefits of banking to rural and agricultural economies, and to India's  burgeoning small and medium-sized enterprise sector.

The deployment will include Cisco® Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) devices,  Cisco's comprehensive WAN optimization solution, in addition to application accelerators  for the data centre and disaster recovery sites, making this one of the largest  deployments by any public sector bank globally.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Bhaskar Sen, Chairman and Managing Director,  United Bank of India, said "With this deployment of WAN optimization, we are  confident of being able to better communicate and collaborate with our remote branches,  effectively serve our customers with minimal turnaround time and leverage bank's  network for rolling out customer centric applications directly from data centre. This is a  step forward in strengthening our position of being a preferred bank for our customers  through a process of continuous improvement. Bank has also focused on Alternate  Delivery Channels through expansion of ATM network and implementation of feature rich  Internet Banking and Tele Banking applications."

Shri S.L.Bansal, Executive Director, United Bank of India mentioned that the "Vision Statement" of United Bank clearly talks about Techno Savvy aspect of the Bank,  and the bank is in the forefront in adopting latest technology to provide efficient  customer service and improved efficiency of its workforce.

Shri Naresh Wadhwa, President and Country Manager, Cisco – India & SAARC  region mentioned: "Core banking is extremely critical to the well-being of any bank.  Even though UBI had previously deployed core banking facilities, but there remained a  tremendous scope for further improvement. This deployment, which is one of the largest  the industry has seen, will be a reference site of significant importance in the Indian  financial industry and will pave the way for many similar projects."

Shri Vikas Srivastava, Vice President, Infrastructure Technology Solutions,  Wipro said, “We are delighted to have been selected by United Bank of India for  deploying the WAN optimization solution for all its branches across the country. The  engagement involves commissioning, implementation and integration of the solution with  UBI's existing WAN network. In keeping with our endeavor to bring leading-edge  technology solutions to our customers, we decided to partner with Cisco for its WAN  optimization solution. We are confident that together with Cisco's solution and our two decades of global experience in the IT space, we will be able to help UBI in achieving  increased productivity and cost savings in the years to come."
