Wipro and Google Cloud join hands to support and land cloud projects in India

Wipro has earned the Google Cloud partner certification in application development, underscoring the deepening ties between the two companies to support and land cloud projects in India. This will enable Wipro’s team of certified professionals to speed up its customers’ cloud journey and improve their agility and adaptability with a focus on business outcomes.

Ramachandran Padmanabhan, Vice-President and Global Head of Wipro’s cloud transformation business, said the recognition from Google Cloud adds to the company’s list of qualifications from its peers and partners in technology.

Wipro’s latest cloud credentials follows the heels of an earlier move to adopt Google Cloud for its enterprise-wide SAP footprint in July 2020. At the time, it said it will modernise and transform its core enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to S/4 Hana and migrate the SAP workloads onto Google Cloud Platform to support its 180,000-strong workforce.

“As a provider of digital transformation services to some of the world’s most impactful businesses, it is critical that our own core systems and technologies are running on intelligent and modern platforms that encompass the needs of the future,” said Bhanumurthy Ballapuram, President and Chief Operating Officer at Wipro.

Separately, Wipro will also roll out G Suite for some of its employees as a workplace productivity platform. The company has a dedicated Google Cloud practice and has integrated Google Anthos into its services to support hybrid cloud deployments.
