Key Findings & Highlights:
Bangalore based Wipro entered the IT services industry in 1980, with an early focus on telecoms sector product engineering services, a capability which remains an area of strength today.
By the end of the 1990s, Wipro was established as an IT solutions provider, with a number of global clients including HP, Home Depot and Nokia; and also as a technology R&D contractor, designing chips andtelecom equipment for electronic firms, primarily in the U.S.
In 2007, Wipro acquired Infocrossing for ~$600m, which brought in five U.S. data center locations (mostly mainframes, Unix and Linux servers) with 900 employees, broadened Wipro’s capabilities in IBM mainframe managed services and extended its RIM capabilities. At that time, this was the largest acquisition made by an Indian IT services vendor. Infocrossing enabled Wipro to offer what it calls “total outsourcing”, covering infrastructure, applications and business processes.
