Wipro And Workday Enter Into An Alliance

Wipro will provide Consulting and IT Services to clients deploying Workday solutions. Workday is the leader in SaaS-based enterprise solutions for global human resources, payroll, and financial management.

Wipro has identified cloud computing to be the driver of a new wave of innovation. Wipro has helped customers adopt and integrate cloud services into their enterprise systems with an integrated solutions approach and managed IT as a service.

“We are excited to join forces with Workday and the opportunity it creates to rapidly accelerate the momentum Workday has built in the enterprise market,” said Preet Takkar, Global Head - Cloud Applications and Solutions, Wipro Technologies.

“With increasingly decentralised workforces, the rise of social networking, and rapidly evolving government, privacy, and regulatory compliance requirements, the value of a truly integrated enterprise solution is significant. It effectively aligns industry best practices with the overall business objectives of a company,” added Takkar.

According to a Forrester report, the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) market today represents the largest public cloud market by far, with USD 21.2 billion in total revenues in 2011. By 2016, SaaS will have total revenues of USD 92.8 billion — accounting for roughly 26 percent of the total packaged software market.

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, HR organisations are responding by building 21st Century HR operations by leveraging new technologies, strategies and models. Workday’s innovative cloud-based business management solutions combined with Wipro’s vast experience in optimising and integrating cloud-based solutions will enable organisations to achieve accelerated value.

Wipro’s Human Capital Management Services helps customers build a “people plan” based model using solutions that range from deploying new technology or creating a shared services centre to outsourcing and best-shoring.

Wipro will showcase its unique HCM offerings that help customers accelerate business value with Workday, including Wipro’s Cloud and Beyond for HRO. Cloud and Beyond for HRO is an innovative BPO solution that will integrate Workday with Wipro’s process and workflow management tools supported by Wipro’s implementation expertise, process support and transition management services.

This unique solution will allow clients to manage HR operations in a more effective and efficient manner. Experts from Wipro will present on how they drive business value as a Human Capital Management Transformation partner to global organisations.

“Wipro is one of the leading global systems integrators when it comes to experience in delivering enterprise solutions,” said Jeff Pulver, Vice Pesident, Business Development, Workday.

“The combination of Wipro services expertise with Workday’s industry-leading solutions will deliver tremendous benefits to clients,” he added.
