Wipro Limited has partnered with Aramco and SAP to launch Wipro STO360, a new solution designed to modernize Shutdown, Turnaround and Outage (STO) management for asset-intensive industries. The collaboration leverages SAP’s Business Technology Platform to provide real-time visibility and improve operational efficiency.

The solution targets sectors including oil and gas, chemicals, mining, manufacturing, and utilities. By combining Wipro’s domain expertise with Aramco’s operational leadership, the platform aims to enhance asset reliability and strengthen compliance across maintenance programs.

Strategic Collaboration

Built on a cloud-native architecture, Wipro STO360 integrates Wipro Intelligence capabilities with SAP’s enterprise-grade security and scalability. The tool is designed to support informed decision-making throughout the STO lifecycle.

Vinay Firake, CEO of APMEA at Wipro, noted that asset-heavy industries require rapid AI-led transformation to meet regulatory expectations and operational complexity. He stated that the solution helps enterprises optimize STO operations and unlock measurable business value.

Ahmad O. Al Khowaiter, Executive Vice President of Technology & Innovation at Aramco, said the initiative aims to set new benchmarks in operational excellence. He highlighted that the tool supports optimizing turnaround and inspection planning phases by increasing process efficiency.

Ecosystem Innovation

Darryl Gray, Global Senior Vice President of ISV Partner Management at SAP, emphasized the importance of ecosystem innovations for delivering the Autonomous Enterprise vision. He confirmed that Wipro STO360 has achieved SAP-endorsed app status and is available on the SAP Store.

Wipro has served as a trusted partner to Aramco for over two decades, delivering services in IT, engineering, and digital transformation. The companies have also collaborated on initiatives aligned with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 roadmap for economic diversification and sustainability.

Wipro has partnered with CrowdStrike to launch the CISO Command Center, a new AI-driven cybersecurity offering aimed at enterprise security leaders. Announced on September 9, 2026, the initiative aims to transform enterprise security operations by addressing frontier AI-accelerated risks.

Partnership overview

The collaboration brings together Wipro's managed security services capabilities and CrowdStrike's cybersecurity platform. The CISO Command Center is designed to provide chief information security officers with a unified, AI-powered environment to manage and respond to cybersecurity threats. It reinforces Wipro's consulting-led cybersecurity strategy by enabling enterprises to move from tool-driven operations to an enterprise-wide, risk-led operating model.

What the CISO Command Center offers

The offering is operationalized through Wipro Intelligence™ solutions – CyberTransform™ and CyberShield™ – and supported by the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. Key aspects include:

• An AI-driven framework to support security decision-making
• A centralised command environment tailored for CISOs
• Integrated protection across endpoint security, cloud security, exposure management, and AI security
• Unified detection and response through a modern Security Operations Center (SOC)

The Center aims to turn security signals into business risk intelligence, allowing organizations to sense, prioritize, and respond at machine speed.

Strategic significance

The partnership reflects a broader industry move toward AI-augmented cybersecurity operations. By combining Wipro's services expertise with CrowdStrike's platform, the CISO Command Center targets organisations seeking to consolidate and modernise their security posture under a single, intelligence-led framework. Wipro's membership in CrowdStrike's Project QuiltWorks, a global coalition focused on identifying and remediating frontier AI risk, further strengthens the offering.
