Wipro BPO saw healthy growth as it transformed itself into much more of a transaction processing unit from the earlier call center type of business, as it realized strong synergies between BPO and IT services and its end-to-end proposition. Some good wins happened in this space, particularly in the last quarter.

The company also restructured its accounting practice to suit its new consolidated approach of selling-without differentiating between voice and non-voice businesses. It sells solutions that run around an entire process and which include some component of voice and some of transaction processing. Wipro hasn't sold any pure voice deals in 2006.

• Exited the outbound voice business
• The US market continued to contribute 88% of revenue

The unit is proactively building practice (service lines) in about 12 areas including BFSI.
