IBM and Sogeti, a subsidiary of the Capgemini Group, are partnering to bring IBM’s Bluemix, a cloud platform-as-a-service (PaaS) to developers and clients to help them integrate and analyze data easier and more efficiently. Bluemix will help Sogeti build hybrid cloud applications across public, private and on-premise infrastructure faster; leveraging IBM’s open-standards based approach to cloud to streamline integration of data. Bluemix runs on IBM's SoftLayer cloud infrastructure and combines the strength of IBM’s middleware software with other open services and tools from IBM partners and its developer ecosystem to offer DevOps in the cloud
According to IBM, Sogeti will leverage its solutions to power existing end-user offerings for commerce, the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and data analytics for clients in retail, healthcare, transportation, and energy and utilities. In fact, using its smartEngine gateway, Sogeti has already built a solution with IBM Bluemix for managing smarter buildings.
IBM added that by connecting sensors that use different protocols and data formats on Bluemix, Sogeti can provide clients with insights on the performance of their heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, lighting and other energy-producing processes, which can be used to minimize energy costs, optimize environmental impact, and increase security.
Andreas Sjöström, Vice President and Global Head of Digital, Sogeti
As cloud continues to transform how we collaborate and work with technology, many of our clients are looking to build more and more of their apps and systems with cloud. However, many are still hesitating to make such a transition, due to requirements around data privacy, security and performance in the cloud. With Bluemix Dedicated, we are able to help address these concerns by offering dedicated servers and cloud data centers, while still offering the highly valuable benefits of a cloud infrastructure, such as accelerated business speed, collaboration and visibility.
Steve Robinson, General Manager, IBM Cloud Platform Services
We’re constantly adding new services to the IBM Cloud to help our developer ecosystem collaborate easier, manage costs, speed time to market, communicate better with their clients and take advantage of their data to drive growth. By partnering with IBM, Sogeti will ensure that its own developers and clients will be able to achieve efficiency through innovation with a scalable cloud platform that’s designed for the enterprise.
