Big congratulations to Wipro Limited for winning this large contract! They will conceptualize, design, realize, implement and maintain a new Meter Data Management (MDM) system for National Grid Saudi Arabia (SA). This accord marks an important step toward the future smart energy economy of Saudi Arabia. It dovetails beautifully with the country’s Vision 2030 objectives. With a diverse workforce of more than 230,000, Wipro is present across 65 countries. The company is poised to draw upon its nearly decade-and-a-half of experience successfully deploying similar advanced infrastructure in the energy sector.
The project will include all phases of the MDM system lifecycle. Wipro will not only design the physical and digital infrastructure that will go along with the new system, but will actually build and deploy it. This all-inclusive strategy is laying the groundwork for a strong, flexible smart meter data management platform. In addition, Wipro will deliver continuous managed services to achieve maximum performance and reliability.
Comprehensive Solutions for Smart Applications
The partnership with Wipro will involve their creation of smart applications connected to and building on the new system. Furthermore, they will actually deploy and maintain this MDM infrastructure. These applications are key to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of energy management and consumption monitoring. Wipro is leveraging cutting-edge Technologies & Building Solutions on top of it. These solutions will enable National Grid SA to have even better control over where power is distributed—and how it’s used.
Intelligent applications will help simplify and automate analysis and reporting of all this new, real-time data. This additive will make for more inclusive and equitable decision-making processes that drive the nation’s energy sector. This strategic move will be at the heart of the Kingdom’s efforts as it seeks digital transformation. It will advance the larger imperative of modernizing our country’s energy infrastructure.
Commitment to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030
Wipro’s collaboration with National Grid SA underscores its commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which emphasizes innovation and digitalization across various sectors. The company’s deep experience at providing smart solutions has it perched as perhaps the most important player in this transformative journey.
Vinay Firake, CEO of Wipro Asia Pacific, India, Middle East and Africa (APMEA), expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are excited to build a long-standing relationship with National Grid SA and are dedicated to assisting them in navigating the evolving energy landscape.”
“With our deep domain expertise in the energy sector, smart solutions and advanced technological capabilities, we are proud to contribute to projects that are essential to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and help the Kingdom realise its innovation and digitalisation ambitions.”
