Appirio, a Wipro company, was an information technology consulting company headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana (United States) that offered technology and professional services to companies wishing to adopt public cloud applications.[1] This included Software-as-a-Service and Platform-as-a-Service technologies like Salesforce.com, and Google Apps.[2] Appirio ran as a serverless company, utilizing only public cloud solutions and no in-house datacenter.[3]
On 20 October 2016, Appirio announced that they would be acquired by Wipro, an Indian information technology services corporation based in Bangalore, India, for $500 million.[4][5] On 31 March 2021, the Appirio brand was retired by Wipro and merged into its Salesforce practice.[6]
Appirio ranked among firms like Acumen Solutions (acquired by Salesforce), Bluewolf (acquired by IBM), and Cloud Sherpas (acquired by Accenture) in the market for cloud computing solutions. Increasingly Appirio was found to be a primary competitor of global system integrators such as Accenture and Deloitte.[23]
