CIOs and CFOs are demanding a simpler and more affordable way to buy and manage their network computing infrastructure.
They are tired of wasting time evaluating and acquiring enterprise software from multiple vendors and spending millions integrating disparate platforms and products.
This message was conveyed to delegates at the recent SunForum national road show by Chris Mulder, Sun Microsystems solutions architect at African Legend Indigo (AL Indigo), the black-owned enterprise systems solutions company that makes a real difference to its customers` operations.
"Unpredictable project lifecycles and hidden implementation costs, software that is not integrated, and punitive licensing agreements are some of the complaints we hear from CIOs. Companies should be investing in innovations that deliver value," says Mulder.
He maintains that the Java Enterprise System, which incorporates SunONE into the entire stack simplifies the complexities of sourcing, integrating and supporting traditional infrastructure software components from multiple vendors. . It offers a single, comprehensive software system with all of the critical enterprise network services companies require, packaged with end to end support, maintenance, education and consulting.
"The Sun Java System Portal Server, one of the components of the Java Enterprise System, provides the tools to build the business process. Sun is a leader in the portal space being an infrastructure provider that uses open standards which allow it to offer a set of tools to build specific applications."
He describes the Java Enterprise System as a "radically new product in enterprise infrastructure software. "It makes the entire process of how software is acquired, installed and deployed simpler, more predicatable and more affordable.
"It delivers enormous value to IT organisations by helping to reduce both cost and complexity. Customers pay a single annual license fee for the software system, as well as support, maintenance, consulting and education services.
"The Java Enterprise System allows customers to spend more time focusing on their business requirement rather than integrating and supporting a myriad of point products. They gain better control and increased business agility while benefiting from open standards and a consistent architecture," says Mulder.
