Wipro Technologies, the global services business of Wipro Limited, has announced that it has entered into a partnership with Dublin, Ireland-headquartered IONA Technologies, to deliver service oriented architecture (SOA) solutions. IONA is a global player in integration solutions for IT environments.
 
According to the partnership, Wipro will utilise IONA's Artix extensible enterprise service bus (ESB) to deliver SOA deployments that can effectively extend existing enterprise IT assets to new process automation applications.
 
David Henderson, group head, Wipro Consulting, said, "We believe that IONA brings a unique approach to SOA that complements Wipro's capabilities to deliver solutions to our customers. Together, we make a compelling proposition to organisations that are investing in SOA."
 
According to the company, the initial stages of the partnership will focus on customers in the financial services industry. Subsequently, both the companies are planning to broaden the scope of the relationship across various vertical markets such as telecommunications, government and healthcare, it said.
 
IONA and Wipro would engage in joint sales and marketing activities to identify opportunities where distributed SOA, supported by Artix, could be used effectively to help customers meet their business objectives, it added.
 
"The financial services industry is being shaped by a number of factors that are causing CIOs to require modern and streamlined IT infrastructure," said Scott Devens, vice president, strategic alliances, IONA.
