New Delhi: IT services major Wipro on Wednesday said it has bagged a multi-year business process services engagement from Denmark-based Falck.

The financial details of the deal were not disclosed. As part of the contract, Wipro will help transform Falck's finance operations through its enterprise operations transformation model, Wipro said in a statement.

This engagement will help Falck increase operational efficiency and achieve data and process consistency across its different entities around the globe, it added.

Headquartered in Denmark, Falck is supplier of ambulance services, employee health care and roadside assistance and is active in 35 countries with over 37,000 employees.

"We have chosen to engage with Wipro as we believe they are the right partner for us in our journey of transformation, which aims to centralise and standardise our finance processes and systems across our global operations," Falck Vice President, Global Business Services Allan Kjer said.

Wipro also has a presence in the region through its acquired entities – Appirio, which helps companies improve their worker and customer experiences through cloud technology and Designit, a strategic design firm specializing in transformative product-service experiences.
