Wipro Technologies has partnered SAP to gain better foothold in the South African market.

Wipro Technologies, a global SAP services partner and one of the first SAP partners to have achieved global certification, will help SAP’s enterprise software solutions to be implemented in South African companies.

Further, Wipro will help SAP customers design, implement and integrate SAP solutions; optimise business processes; and provide business consultation.

As an SAP services partner in South Africa, Wipro will get access to customers in South Africa and can shape their IT roadmaps going ahead. Wipro will leverage its SAP solutions lab at the company’s Bangalore facility.

“The extension of our partnership with SAP in South Africa will enable our customers to draw from our global expertise and take advantage of SAP’s best-in-class solutions,” said Shailendra Singh, Business Director - South Africa, Wipro Technologies.

“Wipro will work closely with SAP in the region — leveraging the capabilities of both companies — to help customers do business better.”

Desmond Nair, Director, Ecosystem and Channels, SAP Africa said: “Extending that partnership to South Africa is a strategic move for both companies, which will serve to expand the reach of SAP solutions to customers in this fast growing market.”
