Bangalore: Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading global information technology, consulting, and business process services company, today announced the successful implementation of a blockchain-based small-scale liquefied natural gas (ssLNG) trading/fulfillment platform for Uniper Global Commodities SE and its 100% LNG-for-trucks subsidiary Liqvis GmbH. Uniper SE is a leading international energy company headquartered in Germany.

The platform built in collaboration with Uniper utilizes a consortium model for all ssLNG market participants to help transform the trading market space resulting in market efficiencies and significant cost savings for traders.

Uniper selected Wipro to build the blockchain platform to address the complexity of the European ssLNG market. As a result of the implementation, commodity flow management is simplified in a market characterized by extensive manual and paper-based transactions and high operational cost. The platform implemented by Wipro involves multiple peer-to-peer trading cycle participants, enables order and supply placement, delivery of goods, validation of the state of goods and bill settlements. It further helps Uniper streamline trade by reducing turnaround time, effort and inefficiencies, enables scalability and brings visibility, transparency and trust in all stages of LNG trade. Strategically, it paves the way for Uniper to become the market maker for low-carbon modern supply of alternative fuels and decentralized energy solutions.

Dr. Grigory Shevchenko, Senior Account Manager Gas Supply and Origination, LNG Business Development, Uniper said, “Uniper’s strength is its customer-centricity, product creation and market development. Building upon that when we enter more downstream logistics-heavy markets, we encourage the use of innovative technologies to optimize our processes and operations. Blockchain will enable business volume growth without needing a lot of additional headcount to manage transactions. This will be true for us and our counterparts that will engage with Uniper through the paperless blockchain platform. The ssLNG trading platform provides for easy scalability and enhancements based on the growing marketplace. To achieve this, we jointly deployed the required building blocks such as security, distributed computing and node network.”

Sarat Chand, Vice President and EMEA Utilities Business Head, Wipro Limited said, “We are delighted to build and implement the Small Scale LNG blockchain platform for Uniper and support their initiative to promote LNG as an advanced and environmentally friendly fuel alternative. The platform helps Uniper’s LNG-for-trucks subsidiary Liqvis ensure that LNG is always available when and where it is needed and achieve price security through Uniper’s long-term LNG supply contracts and seamless supply chain execution. This is a landmark partnership between Wipro and Uniper. Our Utilities ETRM business competency combined with industry leading blockchain expertise has enabled Uniper to modernize its trading platform, reduce friction, improve process efficiency and simplify settlements in business processes.”

Krishnakumar N Menon, Vice President – Service Transformation and Blockchain Theme Leader, Wipro Limited said, “The trading/fulfillment platform for ssLNG market leverages blockchain to simplify the LNG trade process with greater efficiency, transparency and security. Smart contracts used in the platform automate processes such as demand creation, trade confirmation, shipment creation, bunkering, invoice generation and settlement, leading to lesser manual interventions. The blockchain-based platform benefits Uniper and its customers in their trade cycles by enabling digitization and exchange of documents; real-time sharing of information and alerts for an immutable audit trail of activities performed.”

Wipro and HFS Research Study Finds 75% Executives Look at Blockchain as an Enterprise-wide …

PCIS Support Team Leave a comment

EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. & BANGALORE, India–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mar 5, 2020–

Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading global information technology, consulting, and business process services company, today released a study on blockchain technology developed in collaboration with HFS Research. The report reveals the extent of blockchain adoption in the industry today, how it will fare in the year 2020 and beyond.

The report titled, ‘ Ignore blockchain at your peril, but don’t drive blindly ’ is an outcome of a global survey conducted with 300 senior executives, including more than 100 C-level executives who are closely associated with their organizations’ blockchain initiatives and analysis of 940 blockchain initiatives across industries. It shares insights on the current and emerging state of enterprise blockchain adoption; explores why the technology is emerging as a compelling value creation lever, the business problems it can or cannot address, and how enterprises should manage the adoption challenges. The report also leverages Wipro’s key client case studies to bring context, data and real-life insights around blockchain adoption.

Key findings of the report:

  • Nearly 75% of executives look at blockchain as a strategic priority while only 1% dismiss it as not relevant.
  • More than 95% of enterprise blockchain initiatives focus on six broad areas: identity, crypto, trade, payments, supply chain, and finance.
  • Nearly 75% executives are leveraging blockchain for near term business impact (process excellence and efficiency, data and identity management, and better business outcomes) or to drive competitive differentiation (reimagined IT infrastructure, additional trust in multi-party collaboration, transparent and immutable transactions).
  • Enterprise adoption of blockchain is nascent and challenging, yet ambitious as 75% of all blockchain initiatives are less than two years old and only 14% has reached a production stage.

Saurabh Gupta, Chief Research Officer at HFS Research, said, “In 2019, we witnessed pioneering blockchain initiatives succeed and proceed from proofs of concept to pilots to ‘live, in-production’ while several other efforts failed to move beyond laboratories. 2020 promises to be the most exciting year with enterprise blockchain adoption coming of age to solve real-world business problems. The study reveals that the financial services industry is an early adopter of blockchain technology compared to the other industries, which are now gaining ground. A balanced approach to blockchain is critical to drive meaningful success – one can no longer ignore blockchain as a value creation lever, nor should they be taken in by all the hype!”

Krishnakumar N Menon,Vice President – Service Transformation and Blockchain Theme Leader, Wipro Limited, said, “Enterprise blockchain clients are investing in blockchain solutions to get real business impact, but without a crisp use case, it becomes hard to quantify the benefits. Our key customer case studies included in the report highlight the business value blockchain delivered to our clients and helped them transform their existing business models. Our case studies support the findings of the survey and exemplify the state of enterprise blockchain adoption across industries globally.”

The report involved a survey of respondents from all major geographies namely Europe, North America, Asia, Middle East, Latin America and South-east Asia with extensive industry coverage – Banking, Financial Services, Insurance, Energy and Utilities, Industrial Manufacturing, Retail and CPG, Hi-tech and Telecom, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Travel and Hospitality, and Government and non-profits.

Wipro Builds a Blockchain-Based Solution for Travacoin to Enable Digital Currency-Based …

PCIS Support Team Leave a comment

Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading globalinformation technology, consulting, and business process servicescompany, today announced that it has developed a blockchain-basedpayment solution for Travacoin, a company specializing in an eponymousdigital payment solution. Travacoin is a digital payment system whichenables airlines to refund and compensate passengers in a timely mannerwhen a disruption occurs.

Passengers will be notified of a delay or cancellation and refunded inthis digital currency, which can be used to repurchase airline tickets,book hotels and avail other airport and travel related services.Passengers will benefit by way of a significant reduction in the waitingtime for compensation. In addition, passengers can use Travacoins atretail stores in and around the airport and avail attractive discountsoffered by retail partners.

By compensating passengers with Travacoins, airlines will be able toreduce their administrative overheads and channel the savings to offer abetter travel experience to fliers. A recent study conducted by FTIConsulting, and commissioned by Travacoin on the commercial feasibilityof using digital tokens for refunds and compensation for flight delaysindicates that Travacoins will save airlines between 20% and 40% of whatthey are currently paying passengers in cash and will also increasecustomer loyalty towards airlines through improved convenience duringtravel disruptions like airline delays.

Brian Whelan, Chief Executive Officer of Travacoin said,”Travacoin is a unique solution to a common problem faced by theairlines industry today. With every delay, be it caused by a staffstrike or a technology problem, comes an increasing number of claimsfrom passengers. Airlines respond defensively, consequently losingcustomer loyalty as well as millions in hard currency along the way.This solution offers airlines a cost effective way to reconnect withtheir passengers in a positive way, turning adversity into opportunity.As we expand, the plan is to grow the solution to encompass otherpayment and settlement functions, turning Travacoin into a uniquepayment solution for the entire travel industry. Wipro’s deep domainknow-how of the industry processes, blockchain expertise, and ability torapidly co-innovate and scale-up the solution has been critical to oursuccess.”

It has been exciting to work withTravacoin to build an innovative industry-leading travel currency forthe airline industry.
