Wipro has extended its digital services partnership with Metro AG for another two years. The two companies have worked together since 2021, and the results are anything but surface-level. Over 80% of Metro’s on-prem infrastructure has now moved to the cloud, boosting speed, efficiency, and cyber resilience.
This isn’t just another tech handshake. For a global wholesale leader like Metro, it means faster service, fewer disruptions, and a lighter environmental footprint—yes, all while cutting carbon.
What’s in It for the Real World?
Behind the buzzwords, here’s what matters: Metro’s shift to the cloud means your local METRO store may get shelves stocked quicker, checkout smoother, and services smarter. Wipro’s advanced analytics and AI solutions aren’t just shiny tools—they’re shaping how modern retail works.
You probably won’t notice the cloud working in the background. But you will notice your favorite product is back in stock faster. That’s the magic of digital done right.
From Cloud to Core: A Partnership That Scales
Wipro has helped Metro align with a cloud-first strategy, working with multiple hyperscalers. This not only made operations more agile but also laid the foundation for Metro’s long-term growth.
As Metro’s CIO Khaled Bagban put it, “Our partnership with Wipro has strengthened our IT foundation. As we shift to the public cloud, we’re creating a more scalable environment that supports our core growth strategy.”
In plain speak: Stable tech means stable business. No crashes. No chaos. Just clean, efficient systems doing their job.

What’s Next: Gen-AI and More
As part of this renewed deal, Wipro will support Metro’s continued transformation with Gen-AI, automation, and advanced analytics—while staying closely tied to Metro’s internal teams. The goal? To keep things practical, not pie-in-the-sky.
Ann-Kathrin Sauthoff-Bloch, Wipro’s Regional Head in Germany and Austria, says this deal highlights their “consultative approach and AI-powered innovation,” especially for food wholesale.
And no, this isn’t just about servers and dashboards. This is about helping a global business respond faster to customers, adapt smarter, and operate greener.
The Bottom Line
In a world drowning in digital buzz, Wipro and Metro AG’s partnership stands out by actually getting things done. Less fluff. More function.
This is what smart tech partnerships look like: clean cloud migration, real AI tools, and clear impact. It’s not revolutionary—but it’s how revolutions actually work. One stable server at a time.
