Relativity Technologies' Modernization Workbench[R] Endorsed as a Central Pillar of Wipro's Strategy for Modernizing Clients' Existing Applications

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Relativity Technologies, Inc., the global leader in Enterprise Application Modernization, today announced that it has partnered with Wipro Technologies, the global IT services division of Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT), one of India's leading IT Service providers, to offer solutions for modernizing enterprise applications. Wipro will modernize and optimize clients' operations through expertise, processes, and technologies built on Relativity Technologies' Modernization Workbench[R] software platform.

Leading organizations around the globe are finding that many of their underlying IT and business processes do not align with their strategic requirements. This diverts focus from their core competencies. By modernizing these processes and the related enterprise applications, organizations gain flexibility and efficiency, resulting in a more agile enterprise.

Highlights of the agreement include:

* Integration into Modernization Service Offering: Wipro selected the Modernization Workbench in part because of the platform's unique ability to accelerate all stages of the modernization lifecycle. Wipro will deploy the platform to speed business rule and process modeling, SOA analysis, and application re-architecting, among other high-value modernization initiatives. Wipro will showcase and build these solutions into customer proposals.

* Certification of Professionals: As part of this agreement, Wipro will validate its modernization experts as Relativity Technologies Certified Professionals. This allows Wipro to demonstrate its excellence in the use of the industry's leading Enterprise Application Modernization solution.

* Joint Go-To-Market: To address the increasing demand for modernization solutions, Relativity Technologies and Wipro will coordinate go-to-market strategies planning. This coordination will allow clients to benefit from the heightened automation of the Modernization Workbench and the proven skills and processes of Wipro.

"Wipro has made a strategic commitment to the Modernization Workbench because of its ability to accelerate the entire gamut of modernization activities," said KR Sanjiv VP of E-Enabling at Wipro Technologies. "We plan to expand our investment in Relativity Technologies' platform not only through the development of professionals and processes built around the technology. We also will employ our R&D resources to generate value-add modernization solutions that leverage the foundation of the Modernization Workbench platform."

"We are pleased that Wipro, a company known for its innovation and adherence to high quality client solutions has chosen to standardize on the Modernization Workbench," said Steve Maysonave, chairman, president, and CEO of Relativity Technologies.
