In a move aimed at expanding its cloud computing service offerings,, Wipro announced the launch of w-SaaS which will enable software firms to offer their applications in a multi-tenant model.

The service runs on Oracle’s computing technologies, which includes Oracle databases, middleware, and virtualization software. Wipro says that the adoption of such a model by the enterprise segment will result in cost savings of around 10-20 %.

"We are delighted to team with Wipro to provide SaaS solutions," said John Gawkowski, VP of platform technology solutions at Oracle, in a statement. The partnership will "help our joint ISV customer base in their adoption of SaaS," he said.
