Wipro and Lineaje, today announced a collaboration to help enterprises secure the open-source components within their software applications. Recently, Wipro's corporate investment arm - Wipro Ventures - invested in Lineaje, a US based software supply chain security company. Wipro will leverage Lineaje's Open-Source Manager and SBOM360 Hub to empower enterprises with a comprehensive service to continuously identify and neutralize critical open-source vulnerabilities within software they source, build, and use. This offering is built upon Lineaje's advanced capabilities to meticulously analyze software components, expose each component's known and hidden dependencies, and assess the vulnerabilities and risks within each component. This granular visibility allows for the verification of the entire supply chain's authenticity, proactive elimination of vulnerabilities at their source, and detection and remediation of potential compromises in the software supply chain. 'Supply chain attacks often target services from third-party vendors and open-source software inside a company's technology stack. Bringing together Lineaje's AI-driven capabilities and Wipro's deep understanding of risk and compliance landscape, we reaffirm our commitment to secure the modern enterprise and the lifecycle of modern software development,' said Nikos Anerousis, Vice President, Engineering Edge, Wipro.

Wipro has worked with FORVIA (FRVIA), the world's seventh-largest automotive technology supplier, for the optimization of FORVIA's Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) application set. FORVIA used Wipro Engineering Edge's Cloud Car's building blocks, namely Microservices and vehicle container architecture components, to enhance its vehicle safety and comfort applications. FORVIA's ADAS applications are now mostly independent of hardware, lower in maintenance costs, and continuously integrated into Original Equipment Manufacturers'(OEM) value chains thanks to the underlying cloud native architecture. The project notably involved FORVIA's innovative surround-view technology which combines exterior camera views into an immersive 3D perspective that helps drivers park their vehicles safely and easily. All functions of FORVIA's ADAS applications set have now been brought into a loosely connected, service-oriented microservice architecture. This update led to significantly lower software development lifecycle (SDLC) costs and FORVIA can now market its ADAS features and functions separately as well as combine them easily with ADAS functions from a customer or 3rd party.Powered by Capital Market - Live

Ericsson and Wipro today announced the successful transformation of the billing experience for all Odido brand mobile customers in the Netherlands by migrating to the cloud-native Ericsson Billing platform hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This achievement allows Odido to offer innovative 5G services, including the newly-launched Klik&Klaar fixed-wireless access (FWA) solution, with improved operational efficiency and customer experience. The migration, completed in August 2024, transitioned 5 million customers over a single weekend. The migration to Ericsson Billing follows the earlier transition of 700,000 Ben MVNO users in November 2023, marking a major milestone in Odido's modernization. The successful migration means all Odido's mobile customers, whether B2B or B2C, are now served by Ericsson Billing, hosted on AWS. The project was executed with Wipro as an end-to-end system integrator, working in close collaboration with Ericsson and Odido to design and implement the solution. The seamless integration into Odido's IT landscape lowers Odido's technical debt, simplifies the customer journey, and reduces operating costs. Powered by Capital Market - Live
