Wipro wins 10-year deal from Canadian firm


Bangalore, July 18 (IANS): Indian IT bellwether Wipro Ltd Friday announced winning a 10-year deal from Atco Ltd, a leading Canadian firm, to provide total outsourcing solutions in Canada and Australia.

"The deal with Atco will result in $112 million revenue annually for the next 10 years, up to December 2024," the global software major said in a statement here.
