At Sogeti, we can bring considerable added value to your business with our seamless approach and our four core services: consulting, implementation, testing and information systems operation. These fundamentals ensure Sogeti takes a pragmatic and operational approach to deploying “adapted cloud solutions” for the unique challenges faced by each of our clients.
Cloud Computing is one of the key technological pathways taking business to an optimal operating environment where development and applications integration are deli-vered with flexibility, scalability, and robustness in an attractive economic model.
Our services’ economic models guarantee that we provide the best of both "pay-per-use" and ongoing customer support, ensuring our client relationships become long-term partnerships.Sogeti supports and/or delivers a range of service offerings around Cloud Computing.
Development and integration in the Cloud
The Cloud is a cornerstone for business seeking to improve agility and take new services to market increasingly quickly, while still controlling cost and investment risk. Sogeti’s "Development and Integration in the cloud” offering responds to these pragmatic and operational issues.
Studies continue to highlight changing technology uses ; while business collaboration applications such as calendars, messaging and Web conferencing were key fields of focus in 2008, corporate demand has since turned to customer relationship management applications, information technology (backup, security, etc..), social applications, voice communications and office management. The trend towards transversal corporate and business applications is on the rise. Business and manager expectations of the Cloud and its associated services are high.
Concerns are growing over ensuring reversibility, security, information and applications confidentiality while still offering greater flexibility, performance and ease of use. Such expectations necessarily provoke changes in the way infor-mation systems are perceived, set up and operated.
Sogeti’s development and applications integration offering focuses on six major topics. For each theme, Sogeti provides specific services and a support system.
Application Sourcing strategy for the Cloud
Sogeti has developed a methodology and approach using client-driven business assessment to determine how to divide application portfolios between internal infrastructure, private cloud applications and those that could be moved to a public cloud. Provisioning and associated billing model specs are an integral part of our service catalog.
A demo strategy could be produced on our own Smart Platform in the Cloud infrastructure at a Proof of Concept stage in a given field or pilot application. Our clients have access to cutting edge technology to deploy such specific environments.
Development Platform in the Cloud
Application development practices are moving beyond distributed deli-very models and the need to develop operational environments that can be accessed by all teams involved in the application development process at any given location.
Innovative solutions have taken their place, such as the development of TeamForge collaborative development platforms hosted on a Sogeti Cloud Center or in partnership with our IBM and Microsoft strategic alliances. Such platforms ensure access to a complete range of technology alternatives (main-frame, Java, Microsoft) and applica-tions types (traditional, Web, mobile…)
Beyond providing continuous integration spaces in these different environments, Sogeti offers quality control and development metrics services. Based on its major offering, Sogeti proposes a large Testing as services portfolio.
These services are delivered on a pay-per-use basis for producing and publishing indicator standards & norms compliance in various languages (DotNet, Java, PHP ...) and integration and system quality results as well.
Sogeti also offers expert consulting services for companies seeking to implement such services on their own internal cloud.
Sogeti Applications for the Cloud
To facilitate cost optimization of application ownership and usage, Sogeti offers “pay per use” solutions packaged for and accessible on the Cloud. Some examples of transversal applications or business lines available to our clients include:
- Geolocalization (Partner – 1st Base Solution – Enterprise Googlearth)
- Collaboration: CollaborationaaS (Innovation)
- Application areas: mobile applications, widgets
Reporting as a Service
Data analysis and data processing tools are essential to optimal business operations. Implementing information processing infrastructure continues to be prohibitively expensive to run and house. In response to these challenges, Sogeti offers a RaaS solution to provide our clients with periodic processing resources for their own system data as well as on-demand reporting. This particular solution provides clients with a dynamic billing method for their reporting and/or data analysis.
This solution can assist business managers, but also information officers for producing information systems piloting dashboards (Piloting as a Service).
Service Integration in the Cloud
Implementing a robust Cloud Computing strategy for business means ensuring secure communication channels between different cloud layers (private, public and hybrid). In addition, growing participation from outside actors in business processes - whether service providers, partners or clients - compounds the trend towards increasingly communicative information systems.
As part of its "Service Integration in the Cloud" offering, Sogeti delivers analytics tool development, secure gateway design and production, and partner solutions integration.
