Wipro Limited announced the launch of Wipro STO360™, a new solution developed in collaboration with Aramco and SAP for Shutdown, Turnaround and Outage (STO) management in asset-intensive industries. The solution is built on SAP's Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and combines Wipro's domain expertise with Aramco's business innovation and operational leadership.
The solution targets multiple asset-intensive industries including oil and gas, chemicals, mining, manufacturing, and utilities. Wipro STO360™ is an end-to-end solution designed to provide real-time visibility into critical activities, improve collaboration across teams, and enable more informed decision-making throughout the STO lifecycle. The cloud-native architecture aims to help organizations enhance asset reliability, improve operational efficiency, strengthen compliance, and reduce risk across maintenance programs.
Vinay Firake, CEO of APMEA (Asia Pacific, India, Middle East, and Africa) at Wipro Limited, stated that asset-heavy industries need to embrace AI-led transformation quickly due to increasing complexity, regulatory expectations, and the need for operational excellence. He described Wipro STO360™ as a future-ready solution that combines Wipro's industry expertise, Wipro Intelligence™ capabilities, and cloud-native engineering capabilities.
Ahmad O. Al Khowaiter, Aramco Executive Vice President of Technology & Innovation, expressed excitement about implementing Wipro STO360™ to transform business operations and set new benchmarks in operational excellence. The solution is expected to support Aramco in optimizing Turnaround and Inspection planning and execution phases by increasing process efficiency and productivity.
The collaboration builds on Wipro's two-decade partnership with Aramco, delivering services across IT, engineering, and digital transformation domains. Wipro has been working with Aramco on several initiatives aligned with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 national roadmap for economic diversification, sustainability, and human capital development.
Darryl Gray, Global Senior Vice President of ISV Partner Management at SAP, highlighted that ecosystem innovations are essential to SAP's vision of delivering the Autonomous Enterprise. Wipro STO360™ has achieved SAP-endorsed app status and is available on the SAP Store. The solution leverages SAP BTP for enterprise-grade security, portability, extensibility, and scalability while creating a foundation for future innovation.
