NEW DELHI — Technology major Wipro Ltd has migrated its payroll and recruitment databases from in-house Oracle systems to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), said a statement.
The migration moves Wipro’s human resources data from servers it managed internally to Oracle’s managed cloud platform, known as Oracle Base Database Service. The company said the change has reduced payroll processing time by 60% and improved the performance of its recruitment systems by more than 50%.
Wipro employs about 230,000 people in 65 countries. The company uses Oracle’s Interconnect services to link its HR systems on OCI with other cloud platforms operated by Google and Microsoft.
Shift toward cloud-based HR operations
Harish Singh, vice president and global head of infrastructure and applications management, Wipro, said the move was part of a broader effort to digitise key internal systems and improve efficiency. “Strengthening our payroll and recruitment systems is critical to building a future-ready workforce,” he said.
The company has long used Oracle databases to run its HR functions. The new setup shifts the same workloads to Oracle’s cloud data centres, reducing the need for Wipro to maintain and secure physical infrastructure.
Oracle said the arrangement allows Wipro to manage its HR data securely while running applications across multiple cloud networks. Premalakshmi PR, vice president for technology cloud, Oracle India, said companies are increasingly choosing multicloud setups to manage workloads across providers without losing performance or control.
“With Oracle Database on OCI and our multicloud capabilities, customers gain the freedom to run their workloads where and how they choose. This enables Wipro to drive better business outcomes, realize cost efficiencies, and advance its vision of an AI-first, agile enterprise,” said Premalakshmi.
Wipro’s wider digital overhaul
The shift is part of Wipro’s ongoing internal modernisation drive. The company has been investing in cloud services, AI tools and process automation to improve its own operations while advising clients on similar transformations.
Oracle said the migration demonstrates how companies are moving long-standing business systems, such as payroll and recruitment, from on-premise data centres to managed cloud environments for greater scalability and faster performance.
