retailers visualize daily operations end-to-end.

integration expertise has the ability to seamlessly integrate the
Microsoft portfolio of products to create unique retail solutions. Wipro’s
retail accelerators – Corporate Portal, Store
Manager KPI and Sales and Marketing Analytics - are architected on
Microsoft server and client technology: Windows Server 2003 R2, Exchange
Server 2007, SQL Server 2005, Office Share Point Server 2007, Live
Communications Server 2005 and Office Enterprise 2007.

customers. Wipro, with the use of Microsoft technologies, is able to
help solve complex retail industry and customer specific challenges. We

portal allows stores, distribution centers and teams across an
organization to easily search, share and modify information from a
central point of access. Store Manger KPI and Sales and Marketing
Analytics accelerators further demonstrate how technology can be used in
developing a successful, collaborative environment for people ready

The Store Manger KPI accelerator is a dashboard that provides
consolidated information such as comparable stores sales, margin
analysis, line busting indicators, average basket value, etc. Critical
alerts are built into the dashboard to draw the attention of stores
personnel to events that require their attention. The information
provides an easy way for retail store managers to keep a finger on the
store pulse, while still focusing their attention on other tasks.
Bhanumurthy B M, Senior Vice President, Retail, CPG & Distribution
solutions at Wipro Technologies, said, “Wipro
with Microsoft is enabling the retail industry with new tool sets that
would help them reinvent themselves. The focus is on enhanced customer
experience, improved employee productivity and enterprise visibility at
the click of a button.”

built-in for tracking of key performance indicators (KPIs), providing a
deeper understanding of performance data and facilitating more agile
