Wipro bags 5-year contract from BJ's Wholesale Club

Wipro Technologies, the global IT services business of Wipro, has entered into a five-year agreement to provide IT data centre and applications management services for BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc., membership warehouse club headquartered in Massachusetts, US. The company, however, did not divulge the size of the contract.

Under the agreement, Wipro will migrate BJ’s Wholesale Club's mainframe and open systems environment to its data centre in Nebraska, to enable the company to streamline their infrastructure solutions with operational flexibility and improved applications support.

Through this five-year engagement, BJ’s will also benefit from Wipro’s extensive expertise in providing applications management and support, disaster recovery, enterprise security and compliance services.

“BJ’s is in the business of providing our members value on brand-name groceries, consumer electronics, apparel, household items and seasonal products, and we do that by being as efficient as possible,” said John A Polizzi, Senior VP and CIO of BJ’s Wholesale Club.

“Our agreement with Wipro will help ensure that we can continue to meet our members’ desire for value without sacrificing quality while adapting to changes as we grow,” he said in a statement.
