Chennai: IT major Wipro announced on Thursday that it has won a seven-year deal from UK-based insurance services provider RSA. Wipro would provide IT infrastructure services to RSA across the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia.
The company will be providing infrastructure as a service for mainframe, mid-range, storage, cloud and end user services in addition to a multilingual service desk for RSA employees in all the regions.
This will enable pan-European standardisation, improved end-to-end responsibility and a platform for business-led collaboration, Wipro said in a statement.
“This agreement follows a 10-month sourcing programme, which included 20 bidders, and reflects RSA’s aim to drive benefits through the consolidation of services across its regional businesses,” said Shaji Farooq, president and chief executive – BFSI at Wipro.
“We are excited to enter into this new partnership and will leverage our global expertise to help RSA maximise value from their infrastructure. We see this as a key enabler for RSA to achieve the desired business outcomes from their IT investments.”
RSA Insurance Group plc is a British multinational general insurance company headquartered in London. It has major operations in the UK and Ireland, Scandinavia and Canada and provides insurance products and services in more than 40 countries through a network of local partners.
Wipro’s stock price ended Thursday at Rs 559.60, up 0.55 per cent compared to the previous day’s closing price.
