Dayton, OH, October 02, 2008 - Sogeti Group, a leading international provider of professional IT services and member of the Capgemini Group, has been selected by Microsoft Corporation to be a key service partner in their Windows Vista Application Compatibility Factory program. This initiative teams Microsoft with a very select number of System Integrators to help customers prepare for the Windows Vista operating system.
|
| |
| As most enterprises have hundreds, even thousands of applications, application compatibility is one very practical concern of organizations that are getting ready to roll out Windows Vista. Microsoft’s Windows Vista Application Compatibility Factory (ACF) program helps enterprises assess and remediate their existing applications to ensure Windows Vista compatibility and accelerate rollout. |
| |
As a global service provider for this program, Sogeti’s dedicated network of expert ACF consultants will supplement its existing global team of 6,000 Microsoft practice engineers currently delivering Sogeti’s proven business methodologies worldwide. |
| |
| According to Michael Del Sarto, Group Marketing Manager from the Windows Client Marketing Team, Microsoft, “Microsoft recognizes that compatibility of in-house developed applications can be a barrier to deployment of Windows Vista® across the enterprise. Sogeti Group, as a Microsoft Gold Certified partner and now also an ACF partner, will work with clients to identify the application compatibility obstacles, assess application inventory, determine the best course of action and conduct remediation services. All ACF partners including Sogeti have participated in the latest Windows Vista training and can also assist with Windows Vista deployment.” |
| |
| “Clients are increasingly looking for enhanced productivity and optimization of their infrastructure investment and application compatibility, particularly of customized business-critical applications, is a key issue”, says Sanjeev Agarwal, Vice President of Sogeti’s Global Microsoft Alliance. “The ACF program reduces the complexity and speeds up the process, so that enterprises can benefit more quickly from the benefits that Vista can provide, enterprise-wide.” |
