Two leading industry analyst firms say Wipro is outpacing many of its competitors by innovating to meet rapidly changing client needs in a digital world
New York, NY, USA and Bangalore, India - September 28, 2017:
Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company today announced that it has been named a leader for digital transformation strategy and consulting services in two new reports by global market intelligence firm IDC and international analyst firm HfS Research.
The first report, IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Digital Transformation Consulting and SI Services 2017 Vendor Assessment (June 2017), has named Wipro a "Leader" among the 10 providers that it has evaluated, across 38 strategies and capabilities that are needed to successfully provide Digital Transformation services in the short and long term.
As part of their findings, IDC asked buyers what characteristics were required for a Digital Transformation project partner to be successful globally, and the top 2 characteristics were "ability to achieve desired business outcomes" and "ability to transform critical business processes for digital solutions."
The second report, HfS Research Blueprint Report: Digital Technology Strategy & Consultancy Services, has ranked Wipro as a leader in their Winner's Circle. The Winner's Circle identifies service providers who excel at innovation and execution.
Phil Fersht, Founder and CEO of HfS Research, said, "Wipro has evolved beyond being a strong technology execution machine, to one which has genuine prowess designing digital business models for customers. The firm's impressive digital labs, coupled with its acquisitions of Designit and Appirio, have placed the firm in a dynamic position in the digital technology marketplace. Furthermore, many of Wipro's clients cited the firm's culture of pushing the envelope and trying new ideas and techniques with them."
According to Rajan Kohli, Senior Vice President and Global Head, Wipro Digital, "Our clients' need for velocity and agility - to serve and delight digitally savvy customers - is the driving force behind their growing demand for digital services and business transformation. Creating new product-service experiences or evolving existing ones, requires an experience-led and human centric approach, industry and domain consulting capabilities, enabled with world-class engineering and technology. We are honoured by the recognition from these two leading analyst firms for the capabilities we bring to our clients."
According to Phil Dunmore, Vice President and Global Head, Consulting, Wipro Limited, "These insights reveal that business leaders are increasingly relying on us to help them bring together business strategy, user experience design, and IT solution delivery." He added, "Digital technologies are simply enablers to help businesses transform faster to serve their customers better. In the face of aggressive competition, the big asks from our clients are how to strengthen customer loyalty, create new sources of value, drive organizational efficiency, and disrupt the market with new business models. We work with our clients to help them build their vision and roadmap and to execute on it with pace and agility."
