The IT major said it will collaborate with E.ON to reduce the latter's datacenter footprint, streamline its infrastructure and achieve operational agility by providing an integrated view of their data centre operations.

"The cloud transformation is a key element of our digital transformation journey towards a better tomorrow. We are confident that Wipro as a strategic partner will accompany us to execute our cloud strategy most reliably and efficiently," said Marcus Schaper, Chief Digital and Technology Officer, E.ON SE.
