Case Study 2 :
Otis Elevator Company
Outsourcing Decision
• Otis is the largest manufacturer of elevators,
escalators in the world. It was becoming very
complex to handle after-sales support services

system to handle these after-sale service and
revenue functions
Wipro.com, Otis.com
33
Solution

business
• E*Service :
- An integrated application that was created by Wipro
- System that can be presented to individual
customer in country-specific format through a
single window.

34
Enhancement:
With e*service, customer has…
• 24 x 365 x 7 access
• Fast and easy service and tracking of the
service progress
• Access to individual company’s financial
transaction
35
Enhancement:
With e*service Otis realized…
• Cost Savings: Application Development cost
40% -50% savings
• Efficiency: Otis sales representatives save 20
minutes with customer contact and save
around 2 hours for email report to customers
• International recognition: e*service was
awarded for “Grand Prix de I' Innovation” at the
French condominium exhibition
36
• “We appreciate the hard work and nice
features WIPRO has built into the
application. It is great to get Positive feed
back from customers and see the pull for

business
