Wipro Limited, a prominent technology services and consulting firm, in a move towards advancing Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption, announced the launch of the Wipro Enterprise AI-Ready Platform on February 20. This innovative service is designed to provide businesses with the tools to construct their own enterprise-level, fully integrated, and tailored AI environments.
The Wipro Enterprise AI-Ready Platform is the result of an expanded partnership between Wipro and IBM. By merging Wipro's industry expertise with IBM's AI innovation, the collaboration aims to deliver joint solutions that advance the implementation of reliable and enterprise-ready AI solutions.
Wipro stated that the platform utilises the advanced functionalities of IBM's watsonx AI and data platform, comprising watsonx.ai, watsonx.data, and watsonx.governance, in addition to AI assistants. This equips clients with a range of capabilities, including tools, large language models (LLMs), streamlined processes, and robust governance. The platform also establishes the groundwork for the development of future industry analytic solutions using watsonx.data and AI.
Key features of the Wipro Enterprise AI-Ready Platform include infrastructure and core software for AI and generative AI workloads, dynamic resource management for predictive analytics, and support for industry-specific use cases in banking, retail, health, energy, and manufacturing. The platform also focuses on providing conversational AI for customer support, customized marketing, customer feedback analysis, content generation, and design optimization.
Jo Debecker, Managing Partner & Global Head of Wipro FullStride Cloud, said: "This extended collaboration with IBM merges our profound contextual knowledge in cloud, AI, and industry expertise with IBM's leading capabilities in AI innovation. He said, "“The solutions we are creating as part of this partnership will help enterprises achieve new levels of flexibility when building their own enterprise-specific AI ecosystems. Our goal is to make AI consumption as efficient, agile, reliable, and sustainable as possible—ultimately, helping advance the adoption of enterprise-level AI.”
As part of the partnership, Wipro and IBM are jointly funding the IBM TechHub@Wipro solution. This initiative will centralise subject matter experts, engineers, and assets to support joint client pursuits. The IBM TechHub@Wipro will include the watsonx Center of Excellence, which will infuse IBM's watsonx capabilities into Wipro's offerings.
Kate Woolley, General Manager, IBM Ecosystem, said: “We’re pleased to reach this new milestone in our 20-year partnership to support clients through the combination of Wipro’s and IBM’s joint expertise and technology, including watsonx. We’re also looking forward to supporting our joint clients with IBM TechHub@Wipro, which will comprise a network of Wipro and IBM subject matter experts operating in global centers of excellence, focused on AI, automation, IT modernization and sustainability.”
The Wipro Enterprise AI-Ready Platform aligns with responsible AI practices, incorporating watsonx.governance to automate AI governance throughout the AI life cycle. The company emphasised this ensures transparency, data protection, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
