Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

Verizon Busines announced a global Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) partnership with Wipro Limited,  a leading technology services and consulting company, that will accelerate the network modernisation and cloud transformation journey for businesses.

Wipro’s NaaS solution powered by Verizon Business will include a range of pre-configured and tested service chains on a subscription-based consumption model designed to drive network consumption infrastructure on demand.

The multi-year partnership will enable Wipro to transition customers from legacy cycles of deploying hardware, applications and services to an automated, self-healing, and highly secure network service environment.

Massimo Peselli, Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer, Global Enterprise and Public Sector, at Verizon Business, said: “Many organisations want to get out of endless technology refresh cycles but they face the twin challenges of traditional hardware and fixed infrastructures. Our partnership with Wipro will enable businesses to future-proof their network in a manner that is more flexible, agile and predictive, centered around their specific needs.”

A recent IDC survey of over 400 technology-buying decision-makers across the globe revealed that 69% of respondents are planning a network transformation investment in the next 12 months. NaaS has increasingly begun challenging legacy commercial models that require large upfront capital costs by providing more flexible, subscription-based services that can more easily be modified as needs change. The technology has accelerated the implementation of new digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, 5G, IoT, advanced robotics, blockchain, Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality and voice-assistance.

Jo Debecker, Senior Vice President & Global Head, Cloud and Infrastructure Services, at Wipro Limited commented: “Our joint NaaS offering brings together two industry leaders to drive this unique value proposition that will help our customers keep pace with changing demands of the cloud and network infrastructure while achieving operational efficiencies and agility at scale.”

This partnership brings together two network industry leaders. Verizon has been named a Leader in Gartner® Magic Quadrant Network Services, Global for the last 16 years and manages more than 4,300 networks globally. Wipro is a Leader in Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Managed Network Services and manages over 500+ Network and data centre facilities across geographies and different industries.
