Pressure to be always on. Older applications. Need to increase productivity.

Your company cannot afford downtime. To meet changes in the marketplace and maintain your competitive advantage, your company must become agile. You need a flexible, service-oriented architecture (SOA) environment that extends throughout your entire organization. You need to:

  • Modernize your applications
  • Achieve flexibility
  • Increase productivity

Designed for Run™

At EDS we design applications to run and consider all costs of a fully functional application upfront before the implementation begins. As we move into the world of service-oriented architecture, this will become even more critical.

EDS' Global Delivery Model and Best Shore® have become synonymous. EDS' Best Shore strategy provides the right blend of onshore, near-shore, and offshore delivery capabilities. Our global strategy results in the seamless delivery of high-quality, cost-competitive business outputs.

To complement our application implementation and management services, we have also partnered with a specialist in anticipating and managing change. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) will help automate end-to-end governance, risk and compliance for SAP and other ERP applications. Instead of just reacting to risk, you gain the ability to identify risks, prevent fraud and protect critical information.

Our industry frameworks are knowledge repositories that host various architectures and assets that EDS has accumulated throughout our more than 45 years of experience. Starting a project from an industry framework reduces the cost, time and effort involved in executing the business process transformation while increasing the quality of the business process models. An industry framework describes the processes of an industry or enterprise domain and defines the boundaries and requirements for the business components and services that support those processes.

You can depend on EDS to deliver upgrade solutions for SAP as we've been working together with SAP to provide enterprise solutions since 1990. EDS has performed more than 220 SAP implementations and supports more than 873,000 SAP users in 54 countries.

By upgrading to SAP's current service-enabled platform, your company can deliver innovation faster by evolving as your business needs change. With an enterprisewide SOA, your company gains a foundation for the future.
