Wipro, a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company, has announced the launch of industry-specific solutions on SAP Leonardo, a holistic digital innovation system.

The first set of solutions will focus on the utilities industry, while the next will cover the consumer and manufacturing industries.

SAP Leonardo is a holistic digital innovation system that comprehensively integrates future-facing technologies and capabilities into SAP Cloud Platform.

Wipro will leverage SAP Leonardo themes such as IoT, blockchain, machine learning, Big Data, insights and analytics to build solutions that will support insight-driven decision-making for customers.
