Indian technology company Wipro has partnered with GBST, a leading global provider of wealth management and advice solutions technology for the financial services industry.
The partnership aimed at delivering end-to-end administration services for superannuation, wealth, and pension companies transitioning from legacy IT environments.
Addressing a critical need within the industry
