Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading
global information technology, consulting and business process
services company, today announced that it has been recognized with
the ‘CIO 100’ 2016 Award by IDG CIO. This annual award program
recognizes organizations around the world that exemplify the
highest level of operational and strategic excellence in
information technology. This year the program selected 100
organizations from a pool of 500 nominations, including companies
that have distinguished themselves by creating business value
through innovative use of technology.
IDG CIO has conferred this award on Wipro in recognition of
myWipro, its digital platform for self-service, which gives
employees a seamless experience across various processes, workflows
and simultaneously ensures business benefits. Right from applying
for leave, updating timesheets, to raising a travel request and
getting tagged to a project, myWipro is the one-stop portal for all
transactions for Wipro employees. The platform leverages artificial
intelligence, unified collaboration, natural language processing,
real time and predictive analytics to enable quick and easy
transactions.
myWipro extensively leverages Wipro Holmes Artificial
Intelligence PlatformTM, to offer cognitive enhancements to issue
assignment and tickets handling. These enhancements help reduce the
learning curve and improve accuracy, lead times, costs and the
overall user experience. The platform supports a work force of
170,000 employees spread across the globe.
A vastly improved user experience was the primary driving factor
while upgrading myWipro from its legacy avatar. Built on a Cloud
platform, the applications have been simplified by eliminating
redundant workflows, functionalities, complexities, and have been
embedded with real time analytics to enable better and quicker
decision making across devices and geographies.
"Delivering innovation and business value are top priorities for
CIOs everywhere, and our CIO 100 awards program celebrates the
leading IT organizations that excel at both," said Maryfran
Johnson, Editor in Chief of CIO Events. "Our 2016
winners are raising the bar even higher this year with their
outstanding work in digital transformation, customer focus and
IT-business collaboration."
Raja Ukil, Senior Vice President and Chief Information
Officer, Wipro Limited said, “It is an extremely proud moment
for us. myWipro platform is a great example of how mobility,
analytics and social can come together to deliver a powerful user
experience. Key business benefits from this platform are enhanced
productivity, operational efficiency and cost optimization through
app consolidation and simplification, empowering business users to
take data-driven decisions through real-time insights and
analytics. The platform also acts as a point of reference for our
customers who want to embark upon a similar transformational
journey.”
Executives from the winning companies will be recognized
at The CIO 100 Symposium & Awards Ceremony, to be
held Tuesday evening, August 16th, at the Terranea Resort in Rancho
Palos Verdes, California.
About the CIO 100
Recipients of this year's CIO 100 Award were selected through a
three-step process. First, companies filled out an online
application form detailing their innovative IT and business
initiatives. Next, a team of external judges (many of them former
CIOs) reviewed the applications in depth, looking for leading-edge
IT practices and measurable results. Finally, CIO editors
reviewed the judges' evaluations and selected the final 100.
Coverage of the 2016 CIO 100 Awards will be available online
at CIO.com on August 1, 2016 and in the August issue of
CIO's digital magazine.
