REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. & BANGALORE, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT) (BSE: 507685) (NSE: WIPRO), a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company, and Reltio, an enterprise data-driven applications and modern data management Platform as a Service (PaaS) company, today announced a partnership to develop faster and cost effective Master Data Management (MDM) solutions. This partnership will help Reltio and Wipro’s clients bridge the gap between data and insights by boosting the reliability of information, while ensuring users get access to relevant data.
This alliance will enable the use of modern MDM architecture with big data technologies to deliver pre-configured, industry-specific data models in an accelerated timeframe. The joint offering will also help customers stave off scale and performance challenges by leveraging next generation technologies such as Big Data, NoSQL, Analytics, and Machine Learning.
“We are excited to partner with Reltio, which has superior technology offerings for next-generation master data management. Wipro’s experience in global MDM implementations and machine learning coupled with Reltio’s big data technology and unique commercial graph offering will help our clients decipher complex relationships between their customers, accounts and products. And significantly improve how they derive business benefits out of big data insights,” said Pallab Deb, Vice President & Global Head - Analytics, Wipro Limited.
The partnership will offer enterprise users real-time access and easy integration with Reltio Cloud, which also features a built-in data-as-a-service, which provides access to third party premium data sources. The companies will jointly deliver solutions that bring modern data management and data-driven applications to market.
Commenting on the partnership, Vasu Vallurupalli, Vice President - Alliances, Reltio, said, “Wipro has differentiated expertise in delivering best-in-class MDM implementations across industry sectors. Using their rich experience in MDM and Reltio’s modern data management platform and data-driven applications, organizations can truly unlock the power of their data and successfully address complex business challenges.”
Analyst firm Gartner suggests even though the MDM ESP market is rapidly gaining popularity and momentum in the overall information infrastructure space, it is still in the adolescent phase of maturity (with a market penetration of less than 20% of the possible target audience), and Gartner predicts that it will take around five to 10 years to reach mainstream adoption.1
Reltio’s ability to go beyond MDM has changed the landscape of data management. Reltio Cloud was most recently named a leader in the The Forrester Wave™: Master Data Management Q1 2016 report.
Wipro’s expertise in MDM along with Reltio’s products is poised to help customers reap the benefits of the early adoption, and provide them with a future-proofed investment that extends way beyond typical MDM.
