The effects of the coronavirus on technology will be studied for years to come. The ways people responded and new directions companies took are creating a new normal. IT leaders were forced to build more robust, resilient, secure data systems that support remote working. Global IT service providers were on the front lines to help businesses take on challenges brought by the pandemic. Wipro, based in Bangalore, India, touch more than a million users.

Wipro advises companies to take a holistic approach to manage the technical challenges of enabling remote workers during and after the global health crisis. “There is a huge urgency to reimagine the workspace,” said Satish Yadavalli, vice president for global cloud and infrastructure services (CIS) at Wipro Limited.

Within 12 hours, we were able to enable access to all these applications safely and securely to all our finance executives.”
