Wipro renews Metro AG partnership for additional two years

The company has been working with Metro since 2021 as a strategic IT partner, driving a change management program that has seamlessly transformed the company's entire IT landscape and significantly improved the efficiency of business operations. Aligning with Metro's cloud-first strategy, and partnering with multiple hyperscalers, Wipro has successfully completed the migration of 80 percent of Metro's on-premise infrastructure to the cloud. The transformation has significantly increased the company's ability to respond to customer needs with agility and speed, enhanced cyber resilience, and helped Metro reduce its carbon footprint.

As part of the extended engagement, Wipro will continue to support Metro's digital transformation, leveraging the power of cloud, advanced analytics, automation, and Gen-AI-powered solutions. This will be carried out in close collaboration with Metro's internal teams, ensuring alignment with business priorities.

Khaled Bagban, CIO of METRO, said, 'Our partnership with Wipro has helped us strengthen our IT landscape and ensure stable, reliable operations. Operational stability is critical to our core business, and this partnership plays a key role in maintaining that foundation. As we transition to the public cloud, we are creating a more flexible and scalable environment that supports our Core growth strategy at METRO. Looking ahead, we will continue to prioritize secure services and operational efficiency to enable long-term business success.

Ann-Kathrin Sauthoff-Bloch, regional head and managing director Germany and Austria, Wipro, said, 'This extended engagement with Metro AG underscores our commitment to driving AI-powered innovation, operational excellence, and strategic growth for our clients in the food wholesale sector. This is a testament to our consultative approach and the deep collaboration we undertake with our clients to keep driving their innovation with our AI-powered solutions. We look forward to accompanying Metro on this next step of their transformation journey.'
