Bangalore, Karnataka, India , 2006-11-30

Wipro Technologies, the global IT services division of Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT), today announced its readiness to help customers adopt Microsoft’s newly released 2007 Microsoft Office system, Exchange Server 2007 and the Windows Vista operating system. Wipro’s unique solutions and services are designed to bring business value and cost-efficient benefits to clients.

Wipro believes that in today's dynamic business environment, companies that create transparent and flexible strategic relationships will be the most successful in leveraging the full range of capabilities and services from their value chain participants. Wipro’s support for the 2007 Microsoft Office system aims to achieve this very objective.

Wipro’s early involvement in developing Industry Accelerators (IA) on the 2007 Microsoft Office system will enable customers to deploy a Unified Communication and Collaboration solution that involves 2007 Microsoft Office system and Exchange Server 2007. The collaborative features of these products are making the “Place of work” no longer relevant by connecting data, applications and people to create a more agile organization and give customers a platform of choice to create a highly advanced relationship management environment in their organizations.

“Wipro offers business customers technical experience, product knowledge and process familiarity coupled with domain proficiency and toolsets that enable rapid deployment of 2007 Microsoft Office system, Exchange Server 2007 and Windows Vista,” said Peter Boit, vice president of Enterprise Partners, Enterprise & Partner Group, Microsoft Corp. “Wipro’s solutions build on the business value these new products deliver to customers and helps ensure and accelerate adoption.”

Wipro has leveraged its domain experience to develop IAs on the 2007 Microsoft Office system that showcase a “Day in the Life” of an industry practitioner, like a physician, retailer or an insurance agent. The accelerators cover the spectrum of the Microsoft Office system products including Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Business Scorecard Manager 2005, Live Communication Server 2005, Enterprise Search, and Knowledge Network Server and include features like Enterprise Search, Records Management, Office Communicator, and Enterprise Content Management.

Wipro is also involved in developing application migration and deployment solutions around Windows Vista, and enables global adoption of Windows Vista solutions. With Windows Vista’s improved remote access features, Wipro’s proprietary solution ‘EZDeploy’ will dramatically reduce the time, complexity and cost of PC deployment, maintenance and security updates.

Divakaran Mangalath, Chief Technology Officer, Wipro Technologies, and Executive overseeing the Microsoft relationship said “Wipro has a strong relationship with Microsoft and is in step with Microsoft to deliver solutions around their latest products. We are extremely pleased to announce that we will deploy solutions for customers on Windows Vista, 2007 Microsoft Office system and Exchange Server 2007.”

Riding on the benefits derived out of the enhanced features of Windows Vista, Wipro Technologies will enable organizations to have a smooth transition from their existing platform to the new Windows Vista operating system with Wipro’s EZDeploy Desktop Solution. The EZDeploy Solution coupled with the Application Compatibility Factory (ACF) and Wipro’s own toolsets, process knowledge and technical expertise is designed with an approach that increases flexibility, automation and productivity while decreasing the cost, administrative overhead and information technology (IT) response time while protecting clients’ existing IT investments. This enables Wipro to provide well-tested and remediate Windows Vista compliant applications. It also simplifies deployment of Vista on desktops and laptops with reliable Service Level Agreements at predictable costs to customers.
