These are volatile times. Capital expenditure is a barrier for IT decision-makers in every sector. Pressure mounts to achieve ROI within restricted accounting periods and IT acquisitions become immediate liabilities.
Despite these pressures the business demand for flexibility and responsiveness is greater than ever. Cookie-cutter outsourcing doesn’t hold the answers. It may help overcome the barrier of capital expenditure, but will inflexible three and five year IT service contracts really deliver what your business needs?
We believe that genuinely agile outsourcing is achievable – but only if it is built on highly modular delivery models and pricing schemes.
These in turn, must be based on standards.
Standard Foundation
Atos Origin is organized to provide its clients with fully managed operations on demand. Our resources are immediately responsive to the changing demands of our individual clients and are highly configurable.
These values apply to every aspect of an organization’s IT requirement:
- For storage and recovery
- For standard and customized business applications and processes
- For security and network performance
- For technical support to diverse business communities
Our delivery and pricing schemes work because of the extreme attention we pay to standards and best practice: our clients’ agility depends on our ability to rapidly scale and configure resources.
Relevant and Responsive
We understand the importance of framing service delivery in a manner which is absolutely relevant to the way in which our clients think and work. Menus and metrics are set accordingly.
We will, for example, provide clear price and performance definitions for all the tools needed by somebody who relies professionally on SAP. This approach is relevant to business understanding in a way that pure technology benchmarking is not.
By adopting managed operations on demand, our clients gain far more than a clear cost of service based strictly on usage. Because it is so easily configurable, clients are encouraged to experiment with the way in which they construct their ideal service profiles – delivering performance and innovation across the organization with a focus on agility.
