ARMONK, N.Y. and FALLS CHURCH, Va., Jan. 15, 2016
/PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) and CSC (NYSE: CSC) today
announced an expanded partnership to help global enterprise clients
accelerate their transition to the cloud. This includes the
modernization and development of key applications that support
mobile, analytics and cognitive intelligence across hybrid cloud
deployments.
Global organizations have embraced the cloud due to the
increased flexibility, productivity and cost-efficiency of cloud
services. Enterprise clients are now increasingly adopting cloud
computing to speed development of cloud-based applications to fuel
data-driven applications.
Under terms of the expanded agreement, IBM Cloud will become a
key component of CSC's next generation IT strategy to deliver
innovative solutions that meet complex compliance requirements of
global enterprise clients.
The integration of the IBM Cloud with the CSC Agility Platform™
will enable clients across multiple industries – including
healthcare, insurance and finance – to quickly and securely
leverage the benefits of the hybrid cloud and deploy some 10,000
innovation applications that deliver rapid proof of
value.
CSC has already begun the training of a substantial number of
developers to enable them to rapidly prototype, develop and deploy
next generation applications that leverage more than 120 API's and
cloud services IBM has available on its Bluemix cloud platform.
IBM Cloud delivers fast, easy and automated access to public,
private and hybrid cloud services to help drive digital
transformation. IBM Cloud is a growing collection of services
including analytics, mobile, networking, storage, Internet of
Things and cognitive computing. With more than 40 global cloud data
centers, IBM helps companies securely manage and gain insight into
their data no matter where it resides.
The CSC Agility Platform enables clients to use hybrid clouds
across multiple cloud providers, as well as their traditional IT
environments. Today's announcement will secure the ability for CSC
clients to leverage IBM Cloud services in a hybrid, multi-cloud
model.
"The addition of IBM's cloud into the portfolio of clouds
managed under CSC Agility Platform further validates our strategy
of creating client value through the orchestration of multiple
cloud platforms," said Mike Lawrie,
CSC's chairman, president and CEO. "Our expanded partnership with
IBM will help us accelerate the delivery of next generation
applications that give our joint clients greater flexibility,
safety and control of their data as they design and adopt hybrid
cloud strategies."
"Cloud has become the key driver of helping companies digitally
transform their business operations for greater value," said
Robert LeBlanc, senior vice
president, IBM Cloud. "Working with CSC will provide greater value
to our joint clients, helping them leverage the IBM Cloud to speed
