Wipro's strong investment and growth in its Pivotal practice over the past year made it stand out to receive the "Global Breakthrough Partner of the Year" award.

Strong cultural alignment between Wipro and Pivotal—and their joint emphasis on new ways of working—have also provided a strong foundation for future success.

"I'm delighted to announce that Wipro has received the Global Breakthrough Systems Integrator Partner of the Year award," said Nick Cayou, Vice President of Global Ecosystem, Pivotal Software. "The Breakthrough Systems Integrator Partner of the Year Award recognizes partners whose emerging practice around Pivotal's offerings has grown substantially and become strategically important."
