Wipro collaborates with Cisco to provide services to Olympus

Wipro has partnered with Cisco to deliver managed software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) transformation services to Olympus.

Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Olympus is a medical devices and systems major.

As a part of this engagement, Wipro would use its proprietary managed network services solution, #WANFreedom to re-architect Olympus’s WANs and enable support across distributed applications in a hybrid multi-cloud environment, said the company in a press release.


The new network infrastructure will drastically improve Olympus’s application performance to deliver a superior end-user experience, resulting in increased business productivity, agility, and reduced costs for IT, said the company.

Wipro's managed SD-WAN #WANFreedom services are enabled by Cisco's global Secure SD-WAN managed services partner (MSP) programme.

“Wipro’s #WANFreedom provides comprehensive lifecycle services spanning consulting, planning and design, implementation, and managed network services. Our as-a-service model powered by (an) integrated automation platform will create a cognitive digital networking infrastructure for Olympus, which is secure and dynamic. Its enhanced capabilities will help Olympus gain flexibility to access multi-cloud services, reduce overhead, and support new applications in its digital transformation journey,” Kiran Desai, senior vice president, Cloud, and Infrastructure Services, Wipro, was quoted saying.

Stephen Kneebone, Global CIO, Olympus said the company’s cloud adoption and application migration initiatives demand high performance from the network. “With Wipro, we have embarked on our WAN transformation journey that improves application experience and reduces our OPEX as Wipro’s #WANFreedom solution standardizes our global WAN spread across more than 40 countries,” he said.
