This will enable pan-European standardisation, improved end-to-end responsibility and a platform for business-led collaboration, Wipro added.

The agreement follows a 10-month sourcing programme, which included 20 bidders, and reflects RSA s aim to drive benefits through consolidation of services across its regional businesses.

"The partnership is a major step forward in their Group technology strategy enabling it to provide a market-leading, agile, affordable and secure infrastructure platform," said Darren Price, Group CIO, RSA.

"We see this as a key enabler for RSA to achieve the desired business outcomes from their IT investments," Shaji Farooq, President and Chief Executive, BFSI, Wipro said.
