Wipro Launches 'Wipro RAPIDS 2.0', a pre-integrated Solution which accelerates the Transformation Journey of Communication Service Providers
Solution to accelerate transformation cycle by at least 30 percent

Barcelona, Spain, Tuesday, February 28, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- Wipro Technologies, the Global Information Technology, Consulting and Outsourcing business of Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT) announced the launch of 'Wipro RAPIDS 2.0' (Rapid Application Integration & Deployment Solution), a pre-integrated solution that enables Communication Service Providers (CSP) to significantly accelerate their transformation journey.

The company first launched 'Wipro RAPIDS' at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, in Feb 2009 to support 'Order to Cash' business processes for CSPs. Wipro RAPIDS 2.0 is an enhanced version which leverages Oracle's Communications Rapid Offer Design and Order Delivery Solution, aimed at providing innovative features and functionalities that are required by CSPs in today's digital world to swiftly launch differentiated offerings and deliver an enhanced customer experience.

Wipro RAPIDS 2.0 is a pre-integrated solution with support for quad-play and convergent services, which has been built and tested in Wipro's state of the art 4G lab in Bangalore, India. With a highly decoupled architecture, the solution is ideal for CSPs who are looking to transform their IT stack in entirety or parts. The solution also has several reusable assets like process libraries, use cases and migration accelerators which not only gives a significant head start to users but also reduces the risks associated with such large transformation programs and is expected to help accelerate the speed of the transformation journey by at least 30 percent.

According to a recent report by Ovum, an independent technology analyst firm, Telcos will need to migrate to new systems to drive network and IT efficiencies in their businesses. One option for telcos is to outsource legacy network or IT functions to a third-party supplier. However, a proactive transformation or migration to new platforms will be more efficient in the long term.

"We are pleased to announce the launch of Wipro RAPIDS 2.0 as a response to customers' evolving demands." said Anil Jain, Senior Vice President, Communication Service Provider Vertical, Wipro Technologies. "Wipro's leadership in the telecom domain and experience that spans over two decades helps us provide superior business value to next generation communication service providers."

"Wipro RAPIDS 2.0 showcases Wipro's ongoing commitment to build solutions leveraging the power of Oracle Communications capabilities to enable our joint customers to resolve their most strategic challenges," said Kapi Attawar, Vice President for Alliances, Oracle Communications. "Oracle applauds Wipro's significant investment in Wipro RAPIDS 2.0 and we are excited to work with them on this initiative."

Wipro RAPIDS 2.0 is being showcased at the Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, from 27th Feb to 1st March 2012 at Wipro's Hospitality Suite AV 30.

Wipro is a Diamond level member in the Oracle Partner Network (OPN).
