Global automotive solutions provider Marelli has extended its strategic partnership with Wipro Limited for another four years, focusing on cloud transformation and IT infrastructure modernization, the companies announced today.
Under the new agreement, Wipro will spearhead the migration of Marelli’s Milan Data Centre and local server rooms to a cloud-based infrastructure through its FullStride Cloud services. This transformation aims to centralize Marelli’s operations while creating a more agile and stable technology ecosystem.
The extended collaboration builds upon the existing relationship between the two companies, with a clear focus on accelerating Marelli’s digital transformation journey. A key component of the project includes the implementation of AI-powered virtual assistants for enhanced employee support, along with comprehensive vulnerability management and application maintenance services.
“We are excited to begin a new chapter in our strategic partnership with our trusted partner, Marelli. Our wide-ranging expertise alongside our deep understanding of their needs means we will deliver a modernization program specifically tailored to their needs. Our relationship is built on mutual trust and a willingness to support them realize their ambitions,” said Graziella Neuvéglise, Regional Head & Managing Director, Southern Europe, Wipro and Executive Sponsor Marelli.
The modernization initiative is expected to yield significant operational cost savings while enabling Marelli to respond more quickly to market changes. Vittorio Rossetti, Chief Digital Officer of Marelli, commented: “We have a long-standing partnership with Wipro. Over the years we have worked with them, the Wipro team has developed an in-depth understanding of our business, which combined with their technical expertise, will help us further develop and grow our IT infrastructure.”
This strategic move is designed to strengthen Marelli’s competitive position by enabling continuous innovation across their business operations and reducing time-to-market for their automotive solutions and services. The project represents a significant step forward in Marelli’s ongoing modernization and growth strategy, promising to create lasting value for all stakeholders involved.
