Client

Global leader in energy networks, renewable energy and retail customer solutions.

Business objectives

Our client was confronted with a massive business transformation - driven by empowered customers demanding better service and the advent of clean energy-led market landscape. As a result, they grappled with a complex, renewable energy ecosystem and the need for robust digital processes and systems.

Achieving these objectives required evolved business capabilities, which could only be made possible by streamlining the client’s IT landscape and aligning it with the lean, reuse, and consolidation principles. The resulting pressure to enhance the IT portfolio and make it future-proof led to Wipro engaging in an IT Portfolio assessment, supported by its proprietary toolkit.

How Wipro delivered client success

Wipro identified significant potential for improvement and optimization in the client’s application landscape. We conducted focused 360° assessments for several business units, to review the application portfolio, identify cost optimization and architectural and IT performance improvement areas. These assessments had client board-level visibility and were actively supported by the client’s top management.

Critical features of the 360° assessment: 

• Proven assessment framework based on a clear set of assessment vitals and markers, across portfolio optimization, business performance, structuring, and sizing.
• Accelerated interlocks with client business and IT stakeholders, aided by prebuilt templates for data gathering, benchmarking, and assessment.
• Benchmarking IT cost structure against industry standards.
• Assessment driven by seasoned Wipro utility industry and digital practitioners.
• Recommendations qualified with estimated savings and implementation timelines.
• Delivered a 30-60-90 day ‘way forward’ plan, with an estimated potential savings (e.g. <20%, 20-30%, >30%).

The impact: The first wave of recommendations has already generated savings of over € 2.5 Million per annum, projected to grow exponentially with the rollout of more recommendations. A subset of crucial initiatives planned include:
