Capgemini and VMware have expanded their partnership to jointly develop new solutions.
The companies believe the move will extend Capgemini's service integration, aggregation and orchestration platform by leveraging VMware's cloud management offerings. They add that the expanded partnership reflects their shared vision of how IT organisations are evolving in the cloud era.
The new solutions will help organisations achieve IT as a service by improving the way they manage cloud consumption across multiple providers and will assist operators with policy-based service provisioning, data sovereignty protection and improved time to value for cloud adoption, the companies say.
The new solutions will also help enterprises worldwide simplify cloud management, maximise operational efficiency and increase IT and business agility, while improving quality of service.
Enterprises will now be able to create and deliver new business services faster, while transforming their IT infrastructure and modernising their existing applications, the companies say.
"In order to support a globally connected workforce, cloud solutions that are efficient, effective and bring real-time business insights are essential," says Raf Howery, senior VP and head of infra strategy and ecosystem for Capgemini.
"Expanding our VMware partnership with the introduction of our new business cloud solution is a key part of our cloud orchestration strategy, allowing enterprises to better manage the complexity of their IT transformation journey. It will enable them to transition to cloud with greater flexibility and simplicity and to obtain resources across legacy, public, private or hybrid environments. They will see an immediate business impact."
"VMware cloud management solutions have been designed to meet the demands of IT as a service - self-service, scale, velocity of change, shared infrastructures - as well as the modern applications they support," adds Ramin Sayar, senior VP and GM, Cloud Management Business Unit at VMware.
"This industry leading cloud management solution, along with Capgemini's power and expertise to implement large-scale successful enterprise solutions, significantly expands our partnership and joint value for our customers. I am excited about our joint investment and strategy, which will span across multiple business and technology practices, and will provide unique and differentiated value to the industry and our enterprise customers."
