Wipro Technologies plans to set up an exclusive delivery centre to develop software solutions and cut down Canadian companies' energy consumption bills. The Toronto centre, scheduled to open in March, will be first of its kind developed by any IT firm in North America.
Mr Chris Lord, Vice President and Country Head, Wipro Technologies Canada, said, “With the Ontario government giving enhanced attention to green energy, we felt we could play an important role in developing software solutions.”
This centre will look at renewable and green energy, green architectural planning as well as design and energy engineering solutions. It will have nearly 100 employees which would eventually increase to 1,000. Wipro Canada, incidentally, has 2300 employees supporting 40 clients.
“Talent acquisition is our long-term strategy. We are keen on putting the right people on the bus. They can be sourced from competition or anywhere so long as they give larger access to clients who, in turn, are benefited,” said Mr Lord.
In Strategic alliance
Meanwhile, Wipro Canada has entered into a strategic alliance with Davis + Henderson Income Fund, a leading provider of technology-based services to Canadian financial institutions, for clients in Canada. The banking and financial services industry has been one of the largest revenue earners for the company and will continue to be a key focus area going forward, Mr Lord added.
