BANGALORE:
 BT
and
Wipro Technologies, the Global IT Services Division of
Wipro Limited
have signed a licensing and advanced development deal to jointly develop an
advanced mobile/remote workforce management system.
This deal involves joint development of BT's 'mPower' product and the
non-exclusive licensing of BT's 'mPower' intellectual property rights to Wipro.
'mPower', developed by BT's Research and Venturing (R&V) business, enables
organisations to mobilise their enterprise applications, whilst enabling their
remote workers to communicate, collaborate and co-ordinate effectively to
achieve their individual and collective goals.
Mike Carr, director of Research and Venturing at
BT, said, “Prompt, informed decision-making by mobile workers is essential
to the success of any operation with an out-of-office workforce. Organisations
in many sectors including gas, water or electricity field engineering, account
teams, healthcare professionals and logistics providers, rely on mobile
workforces to deliver their services. Our mPower solution supports advanced peer
to peer services that allow mobile workers to co-operate and collaborate highly
effectively to better serve the customer.”
Dr A L Rao, chief operating officer,
Wipro Ltd,
said, “Our expertise combined with
BT's intellectual property and their leading edge 'mPower' platform will
further enhance the portfolio for the next generation of mobile enterprise
applications.”
