Its Business Partners contributed to over 60% of the total desktop sales of Wipro Infotech last year. They not only handle desktops but also the Sun Servers, Networking products, Wipro branded Servers & notebooks and software products.

 

Wipro Infotech has embarked on a mission to multiply market addressal by enhancing its reach in smaller towns and cities by adopting a two-tier distribution model. By virtue of this model, it would appoint local distributors who would carry Wipro Infotech's proposition to small and medium corporates through their associates.

 

In line with this strategy, it today announced the appointment of SOGO Computers Pvt. Ltd, ;  as its local distributor for Karnataka. SOGO will carry the entire suite of Wipro Infotech's products, services and solutions to the market. SOGO has branches in Bangalore, Hubli, Mysore & Mangalore in addition to a retail showroom at Koramangala.

 

Speaking at an event hosted by the company for the associates in Bangalore, Mr. P Anirudh, Head-Product Sales Division, Wipro Infotech, said, "Today, they deliver a comprehensive suite of IT products, Services and Solutions to Corporates across 100 towns and cities in India. The objective of the Growth Partner Program is to enhance this reach and carry their end-to-end proposition to a larger base of customers including small and medium corporates. As a consequence, they would also like to see their Growth partners multiply their business."

 

Mr.Jaimuni Rao, Proprietor, SOGO Computers Pvt. Ltd, said, " They are delighted to be Wipro Infotech's distributor for the region. Wipro is a well-known brand and has built strong equity amongst consumers. This relationship will give us an opportunity to carry an end-to-end IT proposition to the market, backed up by Wipro's experience, expertise and strong quality processes. They are confident that this partnership will be mutually profitable."

 

Through the Growth Partner Program, Wipro Infotech would identify high-growth potential re-sellers and nurture and grow them. A dedicated 60-member organization across the Head Office and regions has been formulated to drive this program. Its internal channel management team would provide on-ground support to Growth Partners' sales teams for effective market coverage. Structured training & certification programs have been conceptualized for re-seller sales teams for effective delivery of its proposition. The thrust on Growth Partners now carrying the entire suite of products, services and solutions backed up by attractive incentive schemes as well as training provided by Wipro, will offer greater headroom for growth.
