Wipro Announces its Microsoft-Authorized Windows Server 2008 Software Certification Test Services

Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Wipro Technologies, the global IT services business of Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT), today announced its selection by Microsoft as an authorized test house for Windows Server 2008 certification test services.

With its global presence, Wipro is positioned to help Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) worldwide earn the "Certified for Windows Server 2008" logo and thereby connect with increasing IT market demand for quality-assured applications.

"Wipro has a long-standing relationship with Microsoft and a proven track record of providing high quality testing and certification services," said Joseph Landes, Director of Windows Server product management at Microsoft. "Wipro has demonstrated the ability to provide high quality certification services for Windows Vista and other Microsoft products and we are excited to see the same expertise brought to bear on Windows Server 2008 certification."

Developed by Microsoft, the certification test validates application compatibility and compliance with best practices for stability, security, reliability and availability. By immediately engaging Wipro's expert support, ISVs can maximize their existing product development timeline and incorporate certification test requirements prior to the Windows Server 2008 release.

Hallmarked by greater transparency in technical aspects of certification, the Windows Server 2008 logo program features free downloadable tools, published test cases and technical support for certification questions. The result is increasing IT market demand for certified applications in tandem with greater support for ISVs seeking to demonstrate compliance with best practices. Recognizing the benefits of incorporating certification requirements into their existing development cycle to achieve early competitive differentiation, several software vendors have already engaged with Wipro to prepare to meet certification standards prior to Windows Server 2008 launch.

S Muralikrishnan, Vice President - Computing, Storage and Software Products Group, Wipro Technologies said, "We are a Gold Certified Partner for Microsoft and have been partnering with Microsoft on their key product launches. We are extremely pleased that Wipro has been selected as a partner for this program. We have created all the necessary setup for this certification program to help ISVs get their products 'Certified for Windows Server 2008' with ease. In addition, a new 'Pre-certification' test also gives ISVs an affordable, efficient way to identify potential issues before official certification testing - giving applications a better chance to pass certification in the first round. "

Wipro has been providing outsourced product engineering services to ISVs, for over a decade. It has built strong domain knowledge on Security software, Database software, Systems Management software, Middleware software, SDLC Engineering tools, OS software and others. World's leading ISVs are engaging with Wipro to provide end-to-end product engineering services like Product Strategy and Architecture Consulting, New Product Development, Internationalization and Localization, Product Quality Assurance, Product Sustenance, Product Technical Support, Technical Publication and Professional services.

ISVs can engage Wipro for the "Certified for Windows Server 2008™" logo program, through the web. For more information please visit http://www.wipro.com/microsoft/certification/Server2008.htm
