Wipro Extends Digital Services Pact With Metro AG

Wipro Limited, a leading AI-driven technology services and consulting firm, has announced a two-year extension of its partnership with Metro AG, a global food wholesaler. The renewed agreement will see Wipro continue delivering integrated digital services, including cloud, data management, application development, and AI-enabled IT support.

Since the partnership began in 2021, Wipro has acted as Metro’s strategic IT partner, implementing a comprehensive change management programme that transformed Metro’s entire IT infrastructure. As part of this collaboration, Wipro aligned with Metro’s cloud-first strategy and successfully migrated 80 per cent of its on-premise infrastructure to the cloud, working with multiple hyperscalers. This migration enhanced Metro’s agility, improved cybersecurity resilience, and supported a reduced carbon footprint.

Under the extended contract, Wipro will deepen its support for Metro’s digital transformation by leveraging advanced analytics, automation, cloud technologies, and generative AI. These initiatives will be executed in close coordination with Metro’s internal teams to ensure alignment with strategic business goals. The partnership will also focus on enhanced scalability, security, and uninterrupted service delivery for Metro’s operations.

Wipro is expected to play a central role in advancing Metro’s data and AI roadmap through cost-efficient customised solutions, data governance frameworks, and effective data management strategies.

Dr Khaled Bagban, CIO of Metro AG, commented, “Our partnership with Wipro has strengthened our IT foundation and provided reliable, stable operations. As we expand our public cloud initiatives, we are creating a scalable and agile IT environment to support Metro’s core growth strategy. Continued focus on secure and efficient operations will be key to our long-term success.”

Ann-Kathrin Sauthoff-Bloch, Regional Head and Managing Director – Germany and Austria at Wipro, added, “Extending our engagement with Metro reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering AI-powered innovation and operational excellence. Our collaborative approach ensures we stay aligned with our client’s evolving priorities in the wholesale food sector.”

The partnership reinforces Wipro’s strategic role in enabling Metro’s transformation journey, combining digital innovation with a focus on long-term, sustainable business outcomes.
