Patni Computer Systems, an IT and BPO services provider, has launched Cloud Acceleration Program (CAP) which gives independent service providers and application developers an approach based on its process and methodologies that take the guesswork out of transitioning to cloud-based offerings.
The company said that the new initiative is designed to contain customers’ IT costs, protect critical assets, plan for disaster recovery, integrate global business processes, advance business continuity and business agility.
Patni claims that utilising its processes, infrastructure components, applications and portfolio rationalisation techniques, it can remove obstacles to reduce the risk and cut the cost of cloud deployments by more than 25%.
According to Patni, the comprehensive CAP program produces three components: an applications architecture, an ROI analysis and an IT governance model which address two concerns customers have about cloud implementations: ongoing control and security of their enterprise data. The program also features an ecosystem of providers that developers will be able to work with for transition.
Patni said that the integrated approach is run by professionals from both applications and infrastructure, allowing for business benefits to be realised at a faster pace. The program allows for a single contract with defined areas of responsibility between Patni and the selected infrastructure providers.
Satish Joshi, executive vice-president and global technology head at Patni, said: “Patni’s cloud services initiatives will help customers make informed choices about their IT environments to ensure a smooth, rapid transition to the cloud while minimising risk and keeping operating expenses in check.”
