We paid Inf0sys 1 BILLION dollars in 2018/2019. Now we "partner" with WiPr0?
Did we get our billion dollars worth from Infy yet?

This was tried years ago and was a total fail - sold plans that didn't work. Nothing new.
This sounds familiar. This is what vz did with Ring Central earlier in the year. Big partnership announced and then in sept without any notice leadership cancelled the partnership. Didn’t even make it a year.
Leadership just closes their eyes and throws darts and hopes something stick. Most of the darts end up on the ground.
“Wipro’s Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) solution, powered by Verizon Business will include a range of pre-configured and tested service chains on a subscription-based consumption model, designed to drive network consumption infrastructure on demand.”
Another super selection Verizon....not. First incompetents from Acceture and now this loser of a company WiPro...they suck and are horrible to work with.
The Naas delivery process on the backend is completely convoluted and broke. A lot of “how great it is” on the front end but once it’s sold it’s not a great experience for the customer. And then next year leadership will walk away from the product and partnerships because it’s not generating the revenue or margin they expected leaving customers on the platform stranded. Rinse and repeat with another product.
Since Sampath is CEO of VZ Business, it would seem like a "conflict of interest" for him to "partner" with a company from his home country - India. Maybe Brouillette was used to "sign the paperwork" with WiPr0 which was done on Nov 30. Brouillette was "let go" shortly after on Dec 5.
Any chance for the next round of re-org e.g. moving the folks from Verizon enterprise/public sector to Wipro?
