Bangalore, India - August 12, 2010: 

Wipro Technologies, the global IT services business of Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT) today announced that it has entered into a five year agreement with ArcelorMittal, the world's leading steel company, to consolidate and migrate its messaging systems to the Microsoft Exchange 2010 messaging platform.

Wipro will host the new global messaging system on its hardware, hosted at six ArcelorMittal datacenters, spanning across North America, Latin America, East and West Europe and Asia. As a critical component of this engagement, Wipro will secure ArcelorMittal’s global messaging system using state-of-the-art Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam and Archival solutions. Wipro will also manage ArcelorMittal’s global messaging systems for the entire period of the contract. This engagement will help transform ArcelorMittal’s messaging environment and curtail their global messaging spending.

Wipro will use its Next Generation Global Command Center (GCC) for rendering the global messaging management services.

“We believe that Wipro is the right choice for transforming our messaging systems into a state-of-the-art service. This is vital for us as today’s communication and collaboration is highly dependent on this service,” Said Mr. Patrick Vandenberghe, Group CIO, ArcelorMittal.

“We are excited to further enhance the existing partnership that we have with ArcelorMittal. We will implement Wipro’s best practices in Project Management and Infrastructure management space to help ArcelorMittal transition smoothly to a highly available, resilient and transformational Global Messaging System,” said Deepak Jain, Senior Vice President and Global Head – Technology Infrastructure Services, Wipro Technologies. “Wipro’s technology and project management expertise coupled with global remote infrastructure management delivery model will help ArcelorMittal achieve their strategic objectives,” he added.

N.S.Bala, Senior Vice President and Global Head, Manufacturing Business Unit, Wipro Technologies said, “Our global engagement has been strengthened further with this deal and we are happy to be a strategic partner to ArcelorMittal. I am confident that our extensive transformational capabilities and experience in the steel industry will enable us to continue to deliver significant benefits to ArcelorMittal”.

The deal win reiterates Wipro’s leadership position in the infrastructure management services sector.
