Wipro bags 4-yr extension of its IT infra deal with Marelli

Wipro, a global leader in technology services and consulting, has announced a four-year extension of its partnership with Marelli, a leading global automotive solutions provider.

As part of this collaboration, Wipro FullStride Cloud will lead the migration of Marelli’s Milan Data Center and local server rooms to a centralised cloud ecosystem. This transformation aims to create a more agile and stable IT infrastructure, enabling Marelli to adapt swiftly to market changes, foster continuous innovation, and enhance its competitive edge. The modernisation initiative is expected to streamline operations, reduce time-to-market for Marelli’s products, and deliver long-term value to all stakeholders.

Graziella Neuvéglise, Regional Head & Managing Director, Southern Europe at Wipro, said, "By leveraging our expertise and a profound understanding of their business needs, we are committed to delivering a tailored modernisation program."

The project will also focus on enhancing employee support with artificial intelligence (AI)-powered virtual assistants, implementing robust vulnerability management solutions, and offering comprehensive application maintenance services. These initiatives aim to optimise operational costs, reduce rework, and drive long-term efficiency, resulting in significant savings for Marelli.

Earlier this month, Marelli further expanded its presence in motorsport by partnering with the Nissan Formula E Team as its technical partner under a two-year contract. 

Marelli Motorsport, renowned for its expertise in electrified motorsport, will contribute to the development of Nissan Formula E cars for upcoming seasons. By leveraging its cutting-edge technologies and manufacturing capabilities, Marelli aims to showcase its proficiency in the competitive and rapidly evolving electrified racing space.

These strategic initiatives reflect Marelli’s dedication to fostering innovation and reinforcing its position as a technological leader in both the automotive and motorsport industries.
