Wipro Technologies, a global SAP services partner and first SAP partner to be certified globally in the implementation of the Run SAP methodology, has incorporated the methodology into its implementation standards. Wipro and SAP leverage their respective strengths – including Wipro’s in-depth industry knowledge and implementation skills and SAP's comprehensive range of enterprise applications – to jointly conduct sales promotion programs for various regional and industry markets.

Wipro Technologies: Provider of Integrated Solutions

After partnering with SAP, Wipro Technologies – a leading provider of integrated business, technology and process solutions on a global delivery platform – sought to assist Cardinal Health Inc. in achieving the following goals:

• Transforming its organization to focus on two main sectors – supply chain and manufacturing – and standardizing its processes across these sectors
• Streamlining a large, diverse IT landscape by consolidating on a single, global implementation of SAP software ...

Wipro and Cardinal Health worked to develop Reverse Engineered xApps (RexApps), an application retirement strategy based on enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA). Using this strategy, Cardinal Health's business users can make technology decisions that align with the company's goal of uniting on one global implementation of SAP software.

Wipro's RexApps Business Case Builder and ROI Calculator helps quantify the ROI and TCO of each potential retirement. Key functionality of retired applications can be incorporated into composite applications – quickly and cost-effectively – via the SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment offering.

Client Benefits

With its enterprise SOA-based RexApp, Wipro was able to assist Cardinal Health in:

• Streamlining its technology footprint by incorporating key pieces of legacy functionality into composite applications
• Supporting its business transformation by following a governance model for the implementation of new services
• Replacing legacy applications at one-third of the cost and in a quarter of the time
• Reducing costs across both the supply chain and manufacturing sectors
• Improving innovation on a company-wide basis with standardized processes
