CSC has added Advanced Collaboration Solutions for IBM Lotus to its existing portfolio of Business Collaboration Solutions. This set of services provides business value, adoption, and cost benefits through a CSC Business Consulting practice dedicated to IBM Lotus software, and a new Collaboration as a Service (CaaS) offering.
Enterprises can rely on CSC to help create a strategic direction for collaboration within their businesses and provide a cost-effective, managed collaboration platform hosted on site or in a CSC Trusted Cloud environment.
CSC has responded to customer interest in cloud and Software as a Service (SaaS) models, and is enabling customers to subscribe to any of the IBM Lotus collaboration solutions using the on-demand model. CSC’s Collaboration as a Service (CaaS) initiative combines a rapid deployment model with per-user, per-month service plans, similar to many public cloud options. The CSC CaaS is built on its Trusted Cloud platform, which provides flexibility in vendor selection, data security, and implementation and integration services.
CSC’s Trusted Cloud platform allows for deployment options in industries or agencies with highly regulated or secure environmental requirements, adhering to the strictest standards and certifications available, such as FISMA and ITAR compliance, all hosted in CSC’s SAS 70 Type II, Tier 4+ data centers.
CSC is now applying years of experience in hosting millions of users within CSC data centers to its collaboration services portfolio. By leveraging the economies of scale of large data center infrastructure investments, CSC is able to provide these solutions in a unified offering that can be deployed rapidly and billed as a monthly subscription service instead of using the traditional software licensing and maintenance model.
“CSC has a long-standing engagement with IBM in providing leading-edge solutions that can be integrated into a seamless collaboration experience, and we are excited to unveil our new consulting practice and on-demand IBM Lotus service here at Lotusphere 2011,” said John Glowacki, chief technology officer, CSC. “The most important piece of creating value for our new and existing clients is to understand their long-term strategy around collaboration, and if it doesn’t exist, help them define it. Once defined, with these enhanced offerings, we are able to deploy new solutions faster, and enhance existing collaboration services so that they are less expensive to manage and easier to use.” ***
