Wipro
continued its upward growth trajectory on the telecom software and network
integration services front. According to VOICE&DATA estimates the total
revenue from these businesses jumped over 100 percent to Rs 2,365 crore in FY
2004–05, from Rs 1,129 crore in FY 2003–04.
With the IT market looking up and revival of investments being sunk in the
networks and telecom software, the telecom continues to be one of the strong
areas for the company both nationally and globally. In the last financial year,
the telecom software component was around Rs 1,879 crore.
Wipro provides product-engineering services to telecom vendors, terminal and
mobile device vendors, OSS/BSS, telecom enterprise applications; and BPO
services to telecom service providers, network infrastructure integration and
management services to large enterprises and carriers. Around 80 percent of its
telecom revenue comes from the product engineering services and the balance is
from product-reselling. Equipment vendors bring 86 percent of revenue and the
rest is from carriers.

Growth in product engineering services has come from: broadband, wireless
(infrastructure and handset), and next-generation networks (including voice).
OSS/BSS is the key driver in telecom carrier space. In terms of percentages they
contribute as follows: broadband-24; wireless infrastructure and mobile
handset-20; OSS/BSS, network integration, and infrastructure-18;
next-generation network including voice-17; optical technologies-4; and
other technologies-17.
For Wipro Infotech, network integration and security segment brought over Rs
486 crore in revenues. This was almost 50 percent jump from Rs 323 crore in FY
2003-04. Last year Wipro bagged some good orders from Bharti, NHAI, Toyota
Kirloskar, Indian Overseas Bank, Union Bank of India, BSNL Broadband project and
Polnet. Wipro also saw a major shift of its customers towards buying more of
services. The services component in the integration business witnessed a 100
percent jump in revenue terms.
With the convergence of various technologies on a single network around the
corner, Wipro would be planning to cash on its experience and expertise with
networks and software. Consultancy would be another area where the company would
be posing good competition to others.
For Wipro, OEM segment was a high growth and focus area. There were lot of
development programs and initiatives in the area of convergence, seamless
mobility, and voice over IP. This year also these areas would be strong drivers
and more development programs would be framed around these areas.
New programs and initiatives have changed the business mix for Wipro. Now
there is more new development, when compared to the previous years where it was
more of sustenance and less of development.
