Wipro migrates air cargo application suite to Oracle Cloud

This will allow Wipro to offer CROAMIS as part of Wipro FullStride Cloud Services, to customers worldwide, aiding faster modernisation of the air cargo industry amidst growing demand for rapid cargo transportation services.

Wipro, under its new leadership, has been bullish about cloud solutions and has staffed over 80,000 people or around 36% of its workforce to its cloud business. It is the fastest growing unit for the company as its clients look to shift applications from in-house servers to the cloud.

“There has been significant change in the supply chain, particularly in key industries such as pharma and e-commerce, which need goods to be moved rapidly around the world. While this has led to air cargo gaining share, it has also created the need for this industry to fast-track its modernization through the use of cloud and other digital technologies,” said Gopi Krishnan, Vice President and Managing Partner, Domain & Consulting Services, Consumer Sector, Wipro Limited.

“Now, with CROAMIS on OCI, we will further strengthen our position as the technology partner of choice for many air cargo organizations. We envision its use will help our customers to scale faster, achieve increased business efficiencies, accelerate their pace of innovation, benefit from greater security, and reduce their data storage and outbound data transfer cost.”

Wipro has won over $ 2.4 billion worth of deals in the past four quarters. A large part of these deals was led by cloud deals which now comprise a third of Wipro’s pipeline and generate 70% of new revenue.

Wipro has migrated its CROAMIS application to the Oracle Cloud and will offer it as a modular SaaS solution based on a combination of Oracle Exadata Cloud Service and Oracle Exadata Database Cloud Service leveraging OCI’s fast, flexible, and affordable compute capacity. As such, organizations will be able to more quickly and easily automate the complete air cargo lifecycle spanning: cargo capacity planning, sales, revenue management, cargo ground handling operations, warehouse management, freighter and charters, customer services, cargo revenue accounting, and billing.

“Developing and deploying commercial software can be a complicated and costly proposition,” said Hwa Cheong Wong, VP-ISV, JAPAC, Oracle. “To do this successfully in the cloud, independent software vendors (ISVs) need extreme speed, security, and scalability, as well as cost transparency. Migrating its business-critical CROAMIS application to Exadata Cloud Service and Database Cloud Service using OCI’s flexible compute capabilities, will enable Wipro to achieve levels of performance and economics that exceed that of any other cloud platform and, in turn, deliver a better experience for its customers worldwide.”

Wipro CROAMIS Application will be available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace by the end of 2021.

“Global supply chain dynamics have gone through a significant transformation due to the pandemic. The gap between demand and capacity has been a serious issue during the pandemic, and this has added tremendous cost pressure on the industry. Moreover, the move to eCommerce demands goods to be moved quickly, which adds extra pressure on cargo operators”, said Sanchit Vir Gogia, Chief Analyst, Founder & CEO, Greyhound Research.

“As a result, these operators are looking at digital technologies that allow a more unified working across the value chain and reduce administrative burden. Cloud is the natural choice for such digital transformation engagements to help improve the speed of innovation and reduce costs.”
