Wi-Fi has always enabled faster, mobile network connectivity to make internal processes more efficient. Now you can use it as a tool to more effectively engage your customers, provide the right content at the right time, and generate revenue.


Using smartphones and the mobile Internet, your customers have embraced a connected lifestyle. Whether you are in retail, hospitality, transportation, healthcare, education, or government, Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences (CMX) lets you tap into this lifestyle now. Provide your customers with a highly personalized mobile experience that builds loyalty and boosts customer satisfaction.


Built upon Cisco Unified Access infrastructure, CMX is a platform for business innovation that includes:

Cisco and ecosystem partner applications

Deliver location-aware guest access, device-based services, browser-based services, mobile apps, online and onsite analytics, social analytics, and ads and offers.


CMX helps organizations increase efficiencies by better understanding customer behavior with onsite, online, and social analytics.


Onsite location analytics uses CMX to detect presence, locate, and track all Wi-Fi devices. It then aggregates and enhances the data to gain insight into the visitor interaction with the venue. The analytics engine classifies and groups the data based on defined criteria to provide information such as dwell times, crowding index, and traffic paths.


Online analytics equip organizations with the top websites that customers are visiting while in the venue, and the percentage of visitors who have taken advantage of online banner campaigns. Online analytics can help organizations better understand aggregate trends of websites such as online reviews, competitor offers, and social media chatter. The data helps customers combat show rooming and deliver a more relevant mobile experience.


Social analytics, including the Cisco CMX for Facebook Wi-Fi solution, deliver social media demographic information of customers who have checked in to the venue from their mobile device. With this information, organizations can gather aggregate trends such as age, gender, or city of origin.


The intelligence from CMX Analytics helps you provide the most rewarding experience for you and your customers. Get more from your wireless network with Cisco CMX.

Summary: Wipro expects to continue its flat revenue growth trajectory over the coming months. However, the company is hopeful a recent demerger will bring "fresh momentum for growth".

Wipro's IT services division generated revenues of US$1.6 billion for the three months to March 31, 2013--a marginal improvement from the previous quarter and over the year. This was in line with the company's guidance of between US$1.59 billion and US$1.63 billion.wipro In an earnings statementfor Q4 2013, Wipro said the segment's quarterly revenues grew 0.5 percent compared to the previous three months, and 3.2 percent over the year. Total net income for IT services was US$317 million, before interest and tax, up 10 percent on the corresponding period in 2012. This figure was mostly in line with the US$309 million average predicted by 19 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. In Friday market closing on India's National Stock Exchange, Wipro stock was down 1.68 percent to 368.65 rupees. For the first quarter of FY14, ending June 30, Wipro expects flat sequential growth with revenues in the range of US$1.58 billion to US$1.61 billion.This quarterly prediction trails the expected growth of the Indian IT industry. Nasscom forecast that India's IT services industry will grow by 10 percent to 14 percent in FY14.In the statement, Wipro chairman Azim Premji said the new financial year heralds the operation of a recently demerged Wipro, one where the IT services business unit has been separated from the consumer care and lighting segment.“We have completed the demerger of the ‘Diversified Business’ effective March 31, 2013 to make Wipro Limited a pure play IT company," Premji said. "We are confident that being a technology-focused company will provide a fresh momentum for growth.”The FY13 IT services earnings before tax and interest (EBIT) of US$1.28 billion represented a year-on-year growth of 18 percent. Overall income increased five percent to US$6.2 billion.However, the results weren't so positive in the IT products segment where EBIT dropped to US$18million: down 45 percent over the year. This was on the back of US$720 million revenue, an increase of two percent over that period.In the products business, the Q4 2013 figure of US$5 million was a decrease of 39 percent compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.Wipro's report rounds up the earnings season of the four big Indian IT outsourcers who for the quarter ending March 31, 2013, revealed:Tata Consultancy Services posted a US$663 net profit.Infosys reported a 4 percent drop to US$444 million.HCL flagged a 60 percent profit increase at US$193 million.Topics: Outsourcing, India
