Wipro strikes strategic partnership with IATA

Wipro Technologies, the global IT services business of Wipro, today announced a strategic partnership with International Air Transport Association (IATA) for the latter's e-freight initiative.

The IATA e-freight programme forms part of its strategic "simplifying the business" initiative, with the association committed to lead and support e-freight implementation for the air cargo industry. The programme also aims to align stakeholders to common goals and standards in order to facilitate the delivery of e-freight solutions, a statement said.

"By joining the IATA e-freight preferred partner programme, Wipro will commit to the development of e-freight solutions that will dramatically reduce complexity and paper-based processes," the statement said.

IATA and Wipro have worked earlier in areas like design and development of platforms, reporting applications, portals and web-based applications. Wipro is also engaged in a long-term application support, it said.
