Wipro has announced the introduction of the Wipro Enterprise Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Ready Platform, developed in collaboration with IBM. The platform is designed to enable clients to establish their customized AI environments, leveraging IBM’s watsonx AI and data platform.

The initiative also includes a watsonx Center of Excellence within Wipro, focusing on incorporating IBM’s AI capabilities.

The Wipro Enterprise AI-Ready Platform provides the infrastructure for AI and generative AI workloads, offering features for automation, resource management, and industry-specific applications in banking, retail, health, energy, and manufacturing, among others.
