Wipro Limited announced the successful completion of a large-scale, multi-year data center migration program for METRO AG, a leading international food wholesaler. This milestone represents a key achievement in METRO's enterprise cloud transformation journey.
The program involved migrating METRO's IT operations from legacy data centers to a modern, scalable, and resilient multi-cloud ecosystem delivered through a phased and risk-controlled approach. This transformation establishes a future-ready digital foundation that supports METRO's long-term growth ambition and serves as a core pillar of the company's cloud-first strategy and digital transformation agenda.
Key outcomes of the migration include:
- Strengthened cybersecurity capabilities
- Enhanced digital capabilities
- Improved operational agility and resilience
- Foundation for AI transformation journey
The program enabled intelligent automation across METRO's key operational areas, including user lifecycle management. Using Wipro Intelligence™, the unified suite of AI-powered platforms, these automation capabilities will manage service requests autonomously, improving turnaround times, accuracy, and operational efficiency.
Wipro applied advanced AI-driven engineering tools to accelerate software development cycles, enhance code quality, and enable faster issue resolution. This allows METRO to identify recurring patterns and systemic issues, strengthening decision-making and improving overall stability and reliability.
This achievement follows Wipro's strategic digital and IT partnership with METRO AG announced in December 2020, which was subsequently extended in June 2025.
