Services and consulting company Wipro Ltd has announced the completion of a large-scale, multi-year data centre migration program for METRO, an international food wholesaler.

Wipro migrated METRO’s IT operations from legacy data centres to a modern, scalable, and resilient multi-cloud ecosystem, delivered via a phased and risk-controlled program. Wipro, alongside METRO, has built a future-ready digital backbone to strengthen the company’s cybersecurity, enhance its digital capabilities, improve agility and lay the foundation for its AI transformation journey.

“The successful completion of this program marks a key milestone in METRO’s transformation journey towards a scalable, cloud-based and AI-ready IT landscape,” said Khaled Bagban, Chief Information Officer, METRO AG.

The program has enabled intelligent automation across METRO’s key operational areas, including user lifecycle management. Leveraging Wipro Intelligence, these automation capabilities will manage service requests autonomously, improving turnaround times, accuracy and operational efficiency.

Wipro has additionally applied AI-driven engineering tools to accelerate software development cycles, enhance code quality and enable faster issue resolution. This will hence enable METRO to identify recurring patterns and systemic issues.

“As METRO enters its next era of AI-powered transformation, Wipro Intelligence™ will play a pivotal role in unlocking greater business value, enabling smarter decision-making and accelerating innovation at scale,” said Omkar Nisal, Chief Executive Officer – Europe, Wipro Ltd.

When commenting on the partnership, Tara Brady, President of Europe, West Asia and Africa (EMEA), Google Cloud, said, “It’s a privilege to partner with METRO and Wipro on this journey, delivering the data architecture, scalability, and security required to drive real-time innovation and long-term business value.”

Prior to the partnership, in December 2020, Wipro announced a strategic digital and IT partnership deal with METRO AG followed by an extension in June 2025.
