Oracle and EDS to Provide Joint Application Mgmt.

09/21/2005

Seeking to reduce the ongoing cost of managing complex and increasingly heterogeneous enterprise application environments, EDS and Oracle today announced plans to provide joint application management, hosting and modernization services. Expanding their long-standing partnership, the two companies will integrate existing core service offerings to help clients simplify, standardize, and modernize applications to adapt to ongoing business changes.



Oracle released the following details:

Over the years, both EDS, a Certified Advantage member of the Oracle(r) Partner Network, and Oracle, a member of the EDS Agility Alliance, have seen tremendous growth in these service areas and expect that their integrated offerings will further accelerate their growth as clients struggle to reduce IT costs and increase the business impact of IT.

"From a client perspective, an alliance that combines products and services helps address a critical need for integrated engagement and service delivery," said Erin Traudt, Research Analyst, Software as a Service, IDC. "Clients are looking for clear accountability and service levels and it makes sense for companies such as EDS and Oracle to combine their offerings in a unified way to better meet client requirements."

"Clients can lower their total cost of ownership, receive best-in-class applications management, and source from a single, accountable IT provider, all while taking advantage of ongoing joint innovation from two industry leaders," said Juergen Rottler, executive vice president, Oracle Support and Oracle On Demand.

"With this partnership Oracle and EDS will offer clients what they have been asking for a long time: the best of what each company can provide within a clear accountability model for service delivery performance."

EDS will utilize Oracle On Demand in its following services:

  • Application Hosting Managed Server and Enterprise Application Management



EDS plans to enhance its core capabilities in hosting and applications management by re-engineering its Application Hosting Managed Server and Enterprise Application Management offerings to integrate Oracle On Demand services for Oracle Applications environments.

  • Applications Modernization Services



Applications Modernization is a unique integration of best practices, repeatable processes and methodologies designed to work efficiently and cohesively to reduce the time and cost to migrate legacy applications to Java J2EE platforms while preserving the value of legacy IT systems. Here EDS is utilizing Oracle On Demand to support some of the key modernization areas such as rehosting, reinterfacing, rearchitecting and replacing legacy applications
