Verizon
Business started a global Network-as-a-Service (NaaS)
partnership with Wipro that will accelerate the network
modernization and cloud transformation journey for businesses.
Wipro’s Network-as-a-Service (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 for Verizon
Business said: “Many organizations 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 AI/ML, 5G, IoT, advanced
robotics, blockchain, AR/VR, and voice-assistance.
Jo Debecker, Senior Vice President & Global Head, Cloud and
Infrastructure Services, 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.”
