Wipro accelerates HR modernisation with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Oracle announced that Wipro has successfully migrated its mission-critical Oracle databases supporting payroll and recruitment to Oracle Base Database Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The migration marks a key milestone in Wipro’s internal digital transformation, driving significant performance and efficiency gains.

Following the migration, Wipro reported that its recruitment systems now run 50% faster, while payroll processing time has dropped by 60%, reducing the end-to-end cycle from over 70 minutes to just 29 minutes.

Modernising HR for an AI-first enterprise

Wipro’s modernisation initiative reflects its broader AI-first strategy, which emphasises automation, resilience, and speed in enterprise operations. The company employs over 230,000 professionals across 65 countries, and managing such a large, distributed workforce requires agile and reliable HR systems.

To enable this transformation, Wipro connected its payroll system to OCI via Oracle Interconnect for Google Cloud and its recruitment application via Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure. This multicloud integration provided low-latency, secure connectivity across platforms while ensuring optimal performance and flexibility.

“As we accelerate our digital transformation with an AI-first mindset, strengthening our internal payroll and recruitment systems is critical to building a future-ready workforce,” said Harish Singh, Vice President and Global Head, Infrastructure and Applications Management Group at Wipro. “This transformation provides us the flexibility, performance, and security to modernise our mission-critical systems, boost HR efficiency, and retain talent.”

Powering transformation through multicloud collaboration

Oracle highlighted the partnership as a model of successful digital transformation at scale. Premalakshmi PR, Vice President of Technology Cloud at Oracle India, said, “With Oracle Database on OCI and our multicloud capabilities, customers gain the freedom to run their workloads where and how they choose. This enables Wipro to drive better business outcomes, realise cost efficiencies, and advance its vision of an AI-first, agile enterprise.”

Industry experts also see this as part of a broader trend in cloud adoption. Daphne Chung, Research Director for Cloud Services and Software Research at IDC Asia/Pacific, noted that enterprises are increasingly adopting multicloud strategies to manage AI workloads. She added that Oracle’s ability to enable mission-critical workloads across OCI, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and AWS delivers “speed, efficiency, and flexibility” that large enterprises now require.

Building the foundation for future-ready HR systems

By leveraging Oracle Base Database Service on OCI, Wipro has improved database management, application performance, and security while reducing operational costs. Its collaboration with Oracle also aligns with Wipro’s commitment to using AI and cloud technologies to improve both internal systems and client-facing solutions.

The successful migration demonstrates how strategic partnerships and multicloud environments can drive measurable improvements in HR operations, enhancing both employee and organisational agility.
