BT signs licensing deal with Wipro

BANGALORE: BT and Wipro Technologies, the global IT services division of Wipro Limited, signed a licensing and advanced development deal to jointly develop an advanced mobile and remote workforce management system.

This deal involves joint development of BT's 'mPower' product and the non-exclusive licensing of BT's 'mPower' intellectual property rights to Wipro, a joint statement said on Tuesday.

'mPower', developed by BT's Research and Venturing (R&V) business, enables organisations to mobilise their enterprise applications, while enabling their remote workers to communicate, collaborate and coordinate effectively to achieve their individual and collective goals, it said.

Wipro will carry out development work over the next 12 months to 'productise' mPower' to its customers as well as license to other companies providing workforce management solutions, it added.
