Wipro bags infra management contract from ASSA ABLOY

Software major Wipro today said that it has won an information technology (IT) infrastructure transformation contract from the Sweden headquartered ASSA ABLOY Group, that offers door opening solutions.

In the five-year agreement, Wipro will consolidate ASSA ABLOY's existing data centers in the EMEA region and implement a cloud-based service model which includes IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service), the company said.

The deployment will leverage Wipro's boundary less data center offering and provide a full suite of IT infrastructure management services to ASSA ABLOY's global organisation, Wipro said in a statement.

This solution will bring in a high level of agility, and a consumption-based IT service model powered by an user-friendly service catalogue, it added.

The goal of the IT engagement is to improve the efficiency of the company's data center services by moving them into Wipro's boundary less data center (BLDC), offering and establishing a global delivery model through Wipro's ServiceNXT, the company's integrated managed services framework, the statement said.

ASSA ABLOY with 44,000 employees is present in more than 70 countries and has a market leading position in areas such as mechanical and electromechanical locking, access control, identification technology, entrance automation and hotel security, according to the group.
