Wipro Technologies has been chosen by
Premier Foods, the United
Kingdom’s largest food producer, as a
strategic technology partner. Premier Foods plc produces and markets over 40
iconic British brands. As part of the five year strategic relationship, Wipro
will be supporting both systems and processes to enhance efficiency of Premier
Foods’ supply chain. This relationship will enable Premier Foods to realize
quantifiable benefits for a known budgetary expenditure with minimal exposure
to variable costs.
Wipro’s strong partnership with SAP, global
SAP consultant base, end to end implementation coverage, delivery innovation, and
outcome based service models and competencies in cloud based services will be
leveraged for this engagement.
According to Mark Vickery, Group I.S. &
Change Director, Premier Foods, "We would like to congratulate the Wipro
team for their focus, commitment and the passion in the discussions leading to
our decision. Wipro’s strong SAP capabilities along with their deep CPG domain
expertise made Wipro a natural fit for Premier Foods."
Bhanumurthy B M, Sr. Vice President, Retail,
CPG, Transportation & Government, Wipro Technologies said "Spiraling
input costs combined with increased margin pressures and shrinking wallet share
of the consumer have made consumer goods companies acknowledge the imperative
of better business outcomes of their IT investments. Wipro’s CPG (Consumer
Packaged Goods) practice adopts a value chain based approach which enables us
to provide customized, industry specific solutions that complement our deep
technology background. With Wipro’s solutions, our customers can leverage
existing IT investments, institute agility in their processes and maximize the
value of strategic assets. We are pleased to have been chosen by Premier Foods
which owns many of the UK's best known food brands including Hovis, Ambrosia, Mr.
Kipling and Sharwood’s, as one of their strategic partners."
