Welch meets Premji; visits Wipro-GE JVGeneral Electric chairman John F 'Jack' Welch was apprised of Wipro GE's new initiatives and current ranking as India's leading provider of healthcare technology services. He visited Wipro GE Medical Systems, the 10-year-old joint venture company between General Electric Medical Systems and Wipro Limited, in Bangalore on Monday. The GE chief met Azim Premji, chairman, Wipro Corporation, and D A Prasanna, CEO and managing director, Wipro GE Medical Systems, during his visit. Welch was pleased to learn that Wipro GE is the first Asian unit among GE and associate companies to successfully go live through a global transaction engine into full time e-commerce. Wipro GE's Customer Web Centre, which assists in the purchase of GEMS products, is equipped with tools such as CRM and ERP to enable smooth e-business. This pilot project has since January 2000 notched $2.5 million in sales. Welch appreciated that Wipro GE has been focused in delivering world-class quality healthcare and maximising customer productivity in South Asia. Wipro GE was the first in India to introduce a mobile CATHlab diagnostic centre, has global sourcing with a run rate of $100 million shipments, and enjoys a leadership position in radiology and software development services in high tech MRI and ultrasound areas. Wipro GE Medical Systems, established in 1990 as a joint venture between Wipro Limited and GE Medical Systems, pioneered the manufacture of ultrasound and computed tomography systems in India for the global markets. Today, Wipro GE is the market leader with unmatched distribution and service reach in South Asia. Wipro GE is also the largest exporter of medical systems for which it has received an award from the Government of India. Wipro GE Medical Systems is a part of Wipro Corporation which serves customers in high information technology software, services and systems, consumer care and lighting brands and healthcare technology services. |
