its supply chain to generate a profitable rate of growth.

in the country, the company has seven diverse businesses—ready-to-eat
foods, instant foods, ice-cream, meal accompaniments, frozen
foods, spices & masalas, and vermicelli—and 200 products
in all. The company also exports its products to the US, Canada,
Europe and Australia.
Workflow
transformation at Wividus
Wividus, Wipro’s Shared Services Centre, a captive BPO
operation, handles back office operations including employee
claims, loan processing, accounts payables and HR-related
activities of Wipro Technologies, Wipro Spectramind and Biomed.
The organisation handles the entire transaction processing
load of claims, reimbursement and provident fund for 30,000
employees across Wipro’s various units.
Security
Policies: to be or not to be
Information Security (IS) has gained greater importance as
part of every business’ risk management strategy on account
of recent events. Companies are moving to the mature position
that security should be integrated into the very fabric of
a business. In doing so, IS programmes need to move from being
tactical implementations of technology to becoming strategic
partners in business.
PicoPeta
is going places
Four professors from the Indian Institute of Science resolved
to produce affordable computing solutions for India and other
developing countries. This was the start of PicoPeta Simputers
in 2001. In its first year, an indigenous product called the
‘Poor Man’s Computer’ was developed. From then
on, PicoPeta has been striving to reach out to the masses,
both rural and urban, in education, e-governance, health and
micro-financing. The company exudes optimism for the first
quarter of 2005, and is set to garner a fair chunk of customers.
To date, it has over 25 customers in the government and private
sector, in verticals such as FMCG, utility billing and media.
