Services provide an online library of pre-built SAP Interactive Forms incorporating best practices of various industry segments
Bangalore, India, January 15, 2008
Wipro Technologies, the global IT services business of Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT), today announced that it is among the first systems integrators (SIs) to provide design and implementation services for the SAP® Interactive Forms software by Adobe. This new, innovative SAP program is designed to enable selected SIs to provide SAP customers business process innovation by automating and streamlining extended form- and document-based processes.

The program includes a factory-like approach leveraging pre-developed SAP Interactive Forms packs that can be rapidly customized and cost-effectively produced for large-scale organization. The SAP NetWeaver® platform provides the flexible technology for a robust, scalable business process platform.

Wipro will enable SAP customers to deploy forms-based business processes that include business critical information from, and for, SAP applications and other solutions. Based on enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA), this program leverages a pre-developed inventory of reusable form templates, components and services that reduce the cost of form development and deployment time, enabling SAP customers to gain unprecedented return on their investments in enterprise systems.

Pre-built SAP Interactive Forms packs will be available for industry segments including Discrete Manufacturing, High-Tech Manufacturing, Consumer Products, Utilities, Oil and Gas and Telecom. SAP Interactive Forms packs will also be available for horizontal solution areas including Human Capital Management, Customer Relationship Management and Supply Chain Management. For the first time, organizations will be able to access forms packs that can automate their HR processes based on best practices from hiring through termination.

Wipro further announced the upcoming launch of Service Market Place, which will provide SAP customers with web-based access to downloadable SAP Interactive Forms demos, tools and content. Hosted by Wipro, SAP customers can choose from a variety of readily available, pre-built SAP Interactive Forms that incorporate best practices and can be rapidly customized based on unique business requirements. Specific development engagements are also available that will benefit from Wipro’s knowledge of the pioneering program.

Speaking on the occasion, Sangita Singh, senior vice president and Head of EAS at Wipro Technologies said, “The factory approach combines SAP’s strategy for business process automation with a productized services model from Wipro. This model helps in reducing development cycles and costs for our clients and is anticipated to provide a 30 percent to 50 percent cost and time-to-implementation benefit as compared to a traditional global delivery model. These forms go a long way in achieving organizational efficiency through workforce enablement.”

Proven and tested process-specific SAP Interactive Forms will be provided by Wipro to help companies better communicate with their customers while improving their bottom line.

“SAP is committed to leveraging our business process platform to make each customer a best-run business,” said Steve Peck, senior vice president and general manager, Ecosystem and Partner Group, SAP Americas. “We are pleased to have Wipro join us in launching the inaugural program based on design and implementation services for SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe. Wipro will enable the large-scale, affordable processes, while ensuring flexibility for future business process improvement. Our customers will achieve fast time to value by reducing the barriers in automating and streamlining error-prone, traditionally paper-based processes.”

Wipro, an SAP global services partner, continues to accelerate growth as part of the SAP partner ecosystem through co-innovation and development of productized services, bringing the value of enterprise SOA to customers.
