Cloud Applications and Platforms: Services Overview

Changing your applications, whether building new ones or rebuilding/replacing existing apps, can be expensive and time consuming.  Designing, building, testing and deploying the technology platforms and architectures that will underlie the application requires a significant budget. As CIOs and their business clients grapple with issues of IT cost, legacy complexity, speed and agility, they are increasingly considering cloud application and platform technologies as a vehicle for change.

Accenture believes that cloud will become the primary platform and enabler for application development and management and replatforming within three to five years.  The number of cloud platform choices both in the private and public spaces keeps growing as virtually all middleware vendors are moving to this space.

Accenture helps large organizations and industry segments design, build, market and deliver services that allow key stakeholders to easily access applications from virtually any location, promoting increased productivity and supporting core business functions. Accenture works with you every step of the way to help clearly define requirements and assists in providing you with a custom cloud rather than one-size-fits-all.

Accenture teams are able to provide a path to untie current business capabilities from fixed costs and limited technical infrastructure, ultimately reducing total cost of ownership significantly. We focus on analyzing your current application portfolio for opportunities and use cloud technologies to re-platform or migrate to new platforms.

Our Agile Application and Platform Services solution focuses on the use of cloud of three ways:  first, Platform as a Service (PaaS), second, Application Modernization, and, third, Cloud-Enabled Systems Integration.  In each case we are able to leverage assets, methods, delivery capabilities, and alliance relationships that in combination provide Accenture with a uniquely differentiated client value proposition.
