Honesty and fairness in action
Strategy:
Industries around the world are witnessing significant transformations in their Technological
landscape and model of business.
1. Evolving Client Business Models The IT spend mix is changing. Investments in 'Change'
programs are on the increase and others are funded through the 'Run' business. The investments are
required to be end-user conscious and more business focused. Today's Service Providers are
required to address wide mixed needs of the clients.
2. Changing Technology Landscape It is predicted that over 65% of IT organizations will move
to Hybrid Cloud technologies before 2016. This means that new set of businesses are created to
partner with the clients. There will be need for analytics and insights because by 2020 the number of
connected devices will be 25 Billion.
3. Need for newer Models of Service Delivery Clients nowadays seek integrated services and
solutions implying the need for IT service providers to adopt newer delivery constructs.
The chart below shows the financial highlights of our performance for the past financial years..
Detailed Financial statements are attached below the chart for your reference.
The below chart showing revenue distribution also displays the several business units and service
lines in our operations. Around 29.2% of our revenues come from application development and
outsourcing i.e. the Business Applications Services (BAS).
Customer satisfaction:
Wipro Ltd. is ranked among the top service providers in the Nordic IT Outsourcing Study,2015,
an annual study on IT outsourcing and IT services conducted by White lane Research and PA
Consulting group. Wipro received 80% overall customer satisfaction score from its customers,
which is higher than the supposed average score of 72% for other service providers.
We are positioned above industry average on several of the Key Performance Indices (KPIs). Our

performance is better in the areas of managing accounts, being proactive and flexible than most of
our competitors. We were ranked second best in 'Flexibility', with a Cu sat score of 83%, higher
than 66% the average score for other companies. We also ranked second in 'Proactive' service
provider. From an 'Account Management' perspective, Wipro was ranked number three, with a
customer satisfaction score of 83%.
Wipro concentrates on Client engagement strategy and leveraging ecosystem alliances.
CMMI:
We have been appraised at Capability Maturity Model Integration CMMI-DEV 1.3 Level 5. This
would validate our process capability based on the CMMI standards which measure process
improvements.
Our organization is performing at an optimizing level and this assessment at maturity Level 5
indicates the very same fact. At this level, we improve our processes continually based on our
understanding of performance needs and business objectives. At Wipro, we have used CMMI
Level 5 processes to achieve profitability, customer satisfaction, thereby enabling growth. We are
aiming for reaching the next level by mid next year and ensuring all processes to follow our
protocols to reach that.
Agile:
Unlike the past where we concentrated on one skill and leveraging only our core competency,
recently we are open to new and multiple skills. To name a few are three of our new programmes
- ACME (All-round Capability Model of Excellence), Upscale and Cutting Edge meant to achieve
exactly that.
(ACME) has five dimensions:
Technology, domain, functional areas, quality processes (especially agile methods) and
behavioural skills.
Companies today can no longer start with a fixed set of capabilities and then try to leverage on
them. We need to achieve agility all round. Hence to achieve that we are turning the tables over
and starting with innovation and entering into emerging needs of clients which would need us to
enhance our business processes.

1.12 Differentiators
Operating environment for global organizations are increasingly getting complex, while IT is no
longer a support function, transformational of functional areas has to be in harmony. We are
customer centric company and it differentiates us from other market players and tangible benefits
are shown to gain customers trust. We capture value through continuous innovation, disruptive
growth and also shifting our clients business from optimized operations to a "changing business".
We do challenging tasks to leading government and private organizations around the world, by
cutting edge technologies and offer new services such as analytics, Information management,
EcoEnergy and Internet of Things.
Key Differentiators:
PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
3.1 Basic Services
Wipro Technologies has an inbuilt strategic engagement team (SET), which is responsible not just for proposal
development, but also for understanding complex new-age business problems faced by clients and suggesting
solutions that are best suited to the customer. Typically, members of this key team have expertise in areas such as
consulting.
2) System Development:
At Wipro Technologies, we have incorporated the use of the Agile (SCRUM) methodology and framework for
System Development. With this incremental model, system is developed in incremental, rapid cycles. This results
in small incremental releases with each release building on previous functionality. Each release is
thoroughly tested to ensure software quality is maintained. Even late changes in requirements are welcome.
3) Project Management:
At Wipro Technologies, Project management includes overseeing projects for software development, hardware
installations, network upgrades, cloud computing and virtualization rollouts, business analytics and data
management projects and implementing IT services.
The following five process groups comprise the project management life cycle at Wipro Technologies. The
specific phases within a project, however, are unique to each project and represent the project life cycle.
Initiation the project goal, need or problem is identified. The project manager is assigned to the project
and the project charter is created.
Planning the project manager and the project team work together to plan all of the needed steps to
reach a successful project conclusion. The project planning processes are iterative in nature and its expected
that planning will happen often throughout the project.
Execution once the project plan has been created, the project team goes about executing the project
plan to create the deliverables of the project. The project can shift to project planning as needed throughout
project execution.
Monitoring and controlling as the project is being executed by the project team, the project manager
monitors and controls the work for time, cost, scope, quality, risk, and other factors of the project.
Closing at the end of each phase and at the end of the entire project, project closure happens to ensure
that all of the work has been completed, is approved, and ultimately transferred ownership from the project
team to operations.
4) Technical Documentation:
At Wipro Technologies, it is important for the code documents associated with the source code (which may
include README files and API documentation) to be thorough, but not so verbose that it becomes overly
time-consuming or difficult to maintain them. From our point of view, Technical documentation is important
as the basic and advanced level of information may change over a period of time with architecture changes.
Tools such as Doxygen, NDoc, javadoc, EiffelStudio, Sandcastle, ROBODoc, POD, TwinText, or Universal
Report are used to auto-generate the code documentsthat is, they extract the comments and software
contracts, where available, from the source code and create reference manuals in such forms as text
or HTML files.
5) Application Integration:
At Wipro Technologies, we use Enterprise application integration (EAI) which is an integration framework
composed of a collection of technologies and services which form a middleware to enable integration of
systems and applications across an enterprise.
EAI focuses on the integration of both business-level processes and data, whereas the traditional
middleware approach is data oriented.
EAI includes the notion of reuse as well as distribution of business processes and data.
EAI tools allow users who understand very little about the details of the applications to integrate the
applications.
6) Transition to Production/Support:
At Wipro Technologies, a production support person/team is responsible for receiving incidents and
requests from end-users, analyzing these and either responding to the end user with a solution or
escalating it to the other IT teams. These teams may include developers, system engineers and database
administrators. We have efficient teams dedicated for the transition to production/support.
7) Customer Documentation:
Document completely the contents of your distribution, for example, the parts of WebLogic Server
that are included: WebLogic Server, Web server plug-ins, BEA JRockit, maintenance patches, and
so on. Store the version numbers of WebLogic Server and any relevant components in several easy-
to-find locations. (When a customer needs to contact a support organization, having multiple
records of the relevant version numbers for the software can be helpful.)
Describe completely the terms of the support and license provided with your product, and the
warranty. Identify who your customers should contact, or what Web site they should use, if they
need to use support services. Distinguish between the support you provide, versus that provided by
BEA.
If your customers need to periodically apply BEA-provided maintenance patches to the embedded
WebLogic Server software, explain to customers how to obtain and apply those patches.
Installation
Document the installation application for your product, even if WebLogic Server is installed and
configured in silent mode. Describe every step the customer needs to take, such as how to
download the distribution from the internet, how to identify the appropriate CD from a physical
container, and how the customer chooses an item from the Start menu (if a Windows product).
Read-first documents
Include, and identify plainly, any documentation that customers need to read before they install or
use your product. Typically this information includes hardware and software prerequisites, memory
and disk space requirements, and other resources that the customer will need to install or use. If
applicable, this document should include any usage restrictions, or possibly any known problems
that customers should know about.
User documentation
This may be self-evident, but be sure to include comprehensive instructions and reference
information for product use. For example, state clearly how to start and run your custom software.
At Wipro Technologies, we offer the following services as a part of System Maintenance and Technical
Support:
IT maintenance:
Gain single-source software maintenance accountability where and when you need it.
IT multivendor support:
Establish a single-point of accountability for multivendor hardware and software support
throughout your IT environments.
It is Raja Inc.s desire to have the majority of its development services provided on a fixed price
basis. For each of the basic services, please indicate which ones you normally provide on a fixed
price basis. For those which you do not provide on a fixed price basis, please indicate the daily
rates that would be applied. If those rates vary based on the location, please include a table
showing all possible rates.
While we define the scope of change limited to the enhancements required in the system as per
clients request, there would be an extra charge for out-of-scope objects, which may be
highlighted in the existing system during system analysis. The out-of-scope efforts are billed
separately and are bundled with the support and maintenance costs.The 24*7 support resources
will be covered into different billing cycle as onsite resource models, and transportation allowance
is bearable by the customer as per requirement. Buffer resources are responsibilities of Wipro
Technologies and clients are not billed for the same.

i. Requirements definition
A progressive approach of elaboration is used for requirements definition. It starts with high-
level definition of the scope to set the limits for areas within the company that are expected to
change. Then, the scope statement is expanded by identifying the needs and the exact business
requirements. Lastly, the team transforms the business requirements into technical requirements
which can be implemented to provide solutions satisfying the project needs. Tools like
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) are used to record requirement and track changes.
ii. Design
Design usually contains a comprehensive description of the overall architecture which includes
frameworks, databases and hardware. In addition to this it also has information about
Application Programming Interfaces. Rational Unified Process is used for to facilitate this
process.
v. Testing
Wipro lays an increased emphasis on automation in order to reduce the manual effort involved
in testing, so as to deliver products faster to the client with zero defects.
DVA (Data Validation Automation), sTORM (Statistical Operations Research Matrix Tool),
Easy Automate tools are used for this purpose.
x. Customer Training
Training is provided to customers to efficiently use the product delivered. This is done by
sending Wipro employees to the customers site for an adequate period of time or by means of
video conferencing until the customer gains proficiency in using the tool. Live demo sessions
and Powerpoint presentations are used for used to impart training.

3.7 Metrics
The metrics and formulae for calculating them are mentioned below. The nature of capturing these metrics differs
from project to project based on the technology used.
Schedule Variance:
Provides an indication of how ahead or how behind the schedule the project currently is. It can be
measured using the formula ((Actual Duration - Planned Duration)/Planned Duration)*100
Effort Variance:
Project effort estimates will be done in terms of man-hours.
((Actual Effort Planned Effort)/planned effort) *100
Cost Variance: Earned Value Actual Cost
Cost of Poor Quality
Where:
ACRi = Average cost to resolve incident i
EHRi = Effort hours to resolve incident i
ACHi = Average cost per hour for incident i
i = 1 to n (n being the total number of failures)
Customer Satisfaction:
We develop survey questionnaires to measure customer satisfaction with the various aspects of a service,
such as the processes followed (for instance, for a warranty), and the quality of service.
3.8 Documentation
