consulting and business process services company, and Pivotal
Software, Inc. (NYSE: PVTL), a leading cloud-native platform
provider, announced today the official opening of the Pivotal

clients by opening a new Designit studio in Dallas. Designit, which is part of Wipro,
provides strategic design, service design and design thinking
services from its other US locations in New York City and San Francisco and 16 studios around the

A Strategic Partnership for Digital Transformation
The Pivotal Center of Excellence in Dallas will serve as a co-creation lab for
both Wipro and Pivotal to build new solutions with their joint
customers as well as demonstrate examples of digital transformation
outcomes they have achieved with clients. Wipro's Pivotal
relationship is operated through its digital transformation arm
Wipro Digital and includes an existing Center of Excellence in
Bangalore, India. Wipro Digital
team members are building and transforming cloud-native
applications for clients as well as transforming the way that
clients build software with the Pivotal platform.
Wipro joined Pivotal's partner program in 2017, and in 2018 the
two companies built a strategic partnership together. By
March 2020, Wipro Digital will have
over 2,000 knowledge workers trained to build and support Pivotal
solutions. Additional Centers of Excellence are planned
around the world as well.

accomplished for our joint clients and are excited to see what new
innovations our teams will create in the near future. We also look

since. The company continues to hire locally to build solutions in
