Wipro said that it has earned the Analytics on Microsoft Azure advanced specialization, which is said to validate the company’s capabilities to plan and deliver customized analytics solutions by following Microsoft and industry best practices.

The Indian IT services provider claimed that it secured the advanced specialization after meeting strict criteria centering on customer success and staff skilling, apart from clearing a third-party audit of its analytics planning and deployment practices.

Rodney Clark — Microsoft Corporate Vice President, Global Partner Solutions, Channel Sales and Channel Chief said: “The Analytics on Microsoft Azure advanced specialization highlights the partners who can be viewed as most capable when it comes to building transformative and secure analytics solutions on Azure.

“Wipro clearly demonstrated that they have both the skills and the experience to help our customers harness the power of insight and transform their businesses in a scalable, secure, and cost-effective way.”

Wipro added that it has demonstrated that its experience in delivering tailored Microsoft analytics solutions using Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake, and Azure Databricks makes it well-placed to support the rising data analytics requirements of its customers and capture increasing market opportunities.

Don McCormick — Wipro Vice President and Global Partnership Lead – Microsoft said: “This specialization is a validation of our technical and process proficiency in the Data and Analytics space and is critical to deliver on the promise of Wipro Fullstride Cloud Services.

“It also comes as a result of our commitment to a global partnership with Microsoft and towards helping businesses of all sizes realize their full potential through Azure-based analytics technologies.”

Last month, Wipro announced that it will be hiring more than 500 people in Brazil in technology jobs to support the company in delivering cloud solutions to clients.
