Compuware and Wipro Jointly Launch a Mainframe Center of Excellence
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Best Practices Empower Large Global Enterprises to Better Leverage High-Value
Systems of Record in Fast-Moving Digital Markets
* Modernized mainframe systems of record are critical digital investments for
large global enterprises-delivering unmatched reliability, scalability,
performance and security.
* Unfortunately, outdated processes and tools often prevent enterprises from
adapting their existing mainframe applications to meet changing business
needs with the same agility achieved on other platforms.
* Compuware and Wipro are addressing this challenge through a joint Mainframe
Center of Excellence (CoE) that enables Wipro to formulate best practices
for achieving mainframe agility and cross-platform DevOps integration, as
well as gain mastery of Compuware's software.
* By leveraging Compuware's software and Wipro's best practices, enterprises
can gain the combined competitive advantages of scale and speed, while also
successfully navigating a difficult generational shift in mainframe
stewardship.
DETROIT, July 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compuware Corporation today
announced the launch of a Mainframe Center of Excellence (CoE) in partnership
with Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT) (BSE:507685) (NSE:WIPRO), a leading global
information technology, consulting and business process services company. The
Mainframe CoE will be dedicated to helping large global enterprises better
leverage their systems of record for competitive advantage in fast-moving
digital markets.
Enterprise IT leaders grapple with mainframe environments that are mired in
traditional "waterfall" development, inadequately integrated into cross-platform
DevOps workflows and foreign to the Millennials who will ultimately be
responsible for the platform's future. The innovative Mainframe CoE, which Wipro
will operate, strengthens the company's ability to transform customers'
mainframe environments and drive competitive advantage through the adoption of
cross-platform Agile and DevOps best practices.
Compuware is enabling Wipro technical consultants, via hands-on access to
Compuware's proven solutions and ongoing training, to establish industry-leading
expertise in: agile development on the mainframe, integration of mainframe
dev/test/release processes into multi-platform enterprise DevOps toolchains, and
modernized workspaces that empower Millennials to effectively work with
mainframe resources in the same manner as they work with other platforms.
Wipro's extensive experience along with this deep expertise of Compuware's
mainframe software, will provide an empirical foundation for the CoE's best-
practice recommendations.
The collaboration also serves as another resource for continual improvement
towards an Agile mainframe. With direct experience using Compuware's products to
discover better ways to leverage mainframe applications and data, Wipro can
assist their enterprise clientele in achieving greater innovation throughput and
quality that's essential to competing in the digital age.
Benefits to enterprise customers include:
* Dramatically improved digital agility
* Substantial reductions in mainframe TCO
* Greater business value and competitive differentiation from investments in
mainframe applications, data and processing power
* Successful transition of mainframe stewardship from Baby Boomers to less
specifically mainframe-experienced Millennials
For large global enterprises, mainframes are irreplaceable and invaluable
systems of record. They are repositories of business logic, customer data and
other intellectual property that have been carefully and continuously honed over
many decades. Unfortunately, a combination of outmoded processes, tools and
culture renders many enterprises incapable of quickly adapting their systems of
record as necessary to fulfill the relentlessly changing needs of the business.
This lack of speed is in marked contrast to the Agile, DevOps and Continuous
Delivery disciplines that they have been able to apply to applications running
on other platforms such as private and public clouds. This can greatly hamper
competitiveness of large enterprises vis-a-vis smaller, nimbler companies. The
new Mainframe CoE addresses this critical challenge by capturing and sharing
best practices for optimizing mainframe agility and mainstreaming of the
mainframe into broader multi-platform enterprise architectures.
"Compuware's focus on mainframe Agility and DevOps enablement aligns with our
own approach to mainframe applications. We believe this CoE will accelerate the
digital journeys for our global clients especially those of large enterprises,"
said Jatin Mehta, Head, Mainframe Application Services, Wipro Limited. "By
leveraging Compuware's technology in the context of a broader enterprise
strategy for digital excellence, Wipro can substantially enhance our enterprise
customers' ability to innovate in a marketplace where rapid parity is a must,"
he added.
"Partnering with Wipro on a mainframe-centric CoE affords us a great opportunity
to demonstrate exactly how our technology supports the kind of aggressive
evolution enterprises absolutely must bring to bear on their mainframes. This
will be key to their ability to survive and thrive in an innovation-based
economy," said Compuware CEO Chris O'Malley. "We look forward to a long and
fruitful collaboration with Wipro-which clearly has tremendous visibility into
both the nature of the enterprise's current mainframe challenges and the path to
helping these users overcome those challenges in a timely manner."
