Wipro, a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company, will make significant investments in Open Source technologies, methodologies and services. The rapidly increasing pace of adoption of Open Source software and methodologies led by advancements in analytics, cloud computing and the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) have propelled Open Source into a core strategic technology asset for enterprises across the globe.

The company has set up an Open Source Practice under its Business Application Services division to address this rising demand. This practice will channelize the earmarked investments towards driving growth and building industry leadership in this area. This practice will help our customers build Open Source platforms that enable online services on a massive scale, big data platforms for batch as well as real-time streaming data, and integrated management fabrics, at beneficial price points.

In addition, it will focus on Applications (Middleware, Security, Customer Experience Platforms, Mobile Frameworks), Infrastructure (Operating systems, Databases, Virtualization, Cloud Technologies, Software Defined Infrastructure), Internet of Things (IoT), Hardware and Testing. In the Product Engineering space, reusable/licensable IP blocks will help shrink product development timelines for the Consumer, Automotive and Networking market segments.
