Indian IT services provider Wipro has been selected by the John Lewis Partnership (JLP) to lead a cloud transformation project.
The initiative aims to modernise the UK retailer’s IT infrastructure and promote sustainable growth.
It will see Wipro FullStride Cloud extend JLP’s current cloud infrastructure, network, and end-user services for an additional four years.
Wipro FullStride Cloud will work with JLP, and Google Cloud to transform JLP’s X86 platform to the cloud.
This move is expected to make JLP more agile, optimise operating costs, and streamline business operations, thereby unlocking new business value.
In addition to infrastructure transformation, Wipro and JLP will explore the adoption of new solutions such as retail technology and store modernisation to stay ahead in the competitive market.

The announcement comes on the heels of Wipro’s recent expansion of its partnership with Google Cloud.
This partnership is centred on adopting artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to boost developer productivity, accelerate cloud migrations, and create innovative AI solutions.
Wipro is integrating tools such as Vertex AI and Gemini models into its client projects.
Earlier in 2024, Wipro broadened its collaboration with IBM by introducing the Wipro Enterprise AI-Ready platform.
This platform utilises IBM’s Watson to help clients establish integrated enterprise-level AI environments.
