CSC BELGIUM LAUNCHES TESTED CLOUD ADOPTION ASSESSMENT SERVICE TO IDENTIFY CHOICES AND RISKS FOR COMPANIES MOVING TO CLOUD COMPUTING

News Release -- June 07, 2010

Service provides tailored Cloud adoption roadmap for target processes & benefit assessment

Brussels, June 7 -- Expanding on its current Cloud service offerings, CSC Belgium today announced it will launch a Cloud Adoption Assessment Service to help companies  identify the right business process and IT services when moving to the Cloud. Originally developed in the UK, the service has been made available to companies in Australia and the USA, and is now being launched in European countries, including Belgium.

CSC's Cloud Adoption Assessment gives businesses a head start in understanding the complexity of the Cloud Computing ecosystem. The new service performs a process-centric analysis of a company's existing technology set-up using a “Suitability Scorecard.” By focusing on business processes, rather than on infrastructures or architectures, CSC creates a top-down assessment that maps to each individual company's strategic objectives.

The CSC Cloud Adoption Assessment helps businesses reach the right decisions to make the shift to Cloud Computing a successful experience. At the end of a three to six week fixed-price assessment, businesses will receive a tailored Cloud adoption roadmap for the target processes and a high-level benefits assessment. They will also receive an understanding of:

• How to align their Cloud Computing strategy with their business strategy
• Which parts of their business are suitable for moving to a Cloud-based delivery model
• How much of each process they should put into the cloud
• Which services offer the right levels of security and governance for their business
• The impact on procurement and what to consider before signing on the dotted line

"We developed this service in response to requests from clients,” said Ron Brown, director of cloud computing, CSC’s EMEA Group. “Many companies are already using Cloud-based services and others would like to, and we are clearing up the confusion about Cloud Computing to work with businesses to find the Cloud that is right for them.."

"By taking a strategically streamlined approach and evaluating the best course of action for each individual enterprise, we can help organizations maximize the benefits and reduce the risk associated with Cloud Computing, Our efforts to bring Digital Trust to the Cloud and provide transparency will be a key enabler of broad-scale enterprise adoption," added Brown.

“ We are ready with best of breed mixed  teams, composed of both local and international  consultants , that have been trained , to go out and work with our customers on these Cloud Adoption Assessments.The interest is high”, comments Yves Schellekens, director of business development for CSC..
