1 CLOUD Choice A STRATEGIC FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE OF YOUR BUSINESS

2 The right combination of cloud services will lay a foundation for your future business needs. Since 2012, Capgemini and Sogeti have delivered over 4,000 cloud projects for clients around the world. Our mission is to help you exploit the Cloud to transform business performance. The Cloud offers an irresistible combination of lower IT operating costs and greater agility. But as organizations adopt cloud solutions, they enter a hybrid world in which cloud and non-cloud technology, old and new ways of working, and evolving business processes and relationships co-exist. Getting value from the Cloud is about more than implementing new software or decommissioning hardware. It demands changes to the business itself including governance, policies, roles, skills and responsibilities. Cloud brings the flexibility to do things that weren t possible before, and create competitive advantage in innovative ways. With it, you can develop new applications and environments quickly and cost-effectively, empowering you to be agile and stay ahead of competitors. Organizations with major concerns about security, data privacy, network latency and availability - especially those requiring % availability or higher for core business systems - may not feel that public cloud or Software as a Service (SaaS) are the solution for every workload. As such, most enterprises will move to a hybrid environment, with SaaS and cloud-native applications, and many other applications running on different types of infrastructure private and public cloud, dedicated and multi-tenant, and on-premise. The migration and integration activities necessary to get there have to be handled in a way that minimizes risk. The whole environment must be tuned for high performance as a coherent whole. We bring the capabilities and tools to deliver the hybrid estate and make new ways of doing business a reality. We work with an ecosystem of providers to bring you the industry-leading solutions and combine those with our own assets to create a unique platform which equips you for future growth. Because security concerns are often a barrier to cloud adoption, we embed security services throughout our approach. Wherever you are in your cloud adoption journey, Cloud Choice helps you exploit the full potential of the Cloud. We work in three key areas: 2 Next >

5 Cloud equips you to adapt and stay ahead in a constantly evolving world. We see the Cloud as a way to create new sources of value for your enterprise. Cloud Choice is how we help our clients realize the business potential of cloud technologies. It s a one-stop shop built on Capgemini s broad-ranging capabilities, from consulting to infrastructure. It helps enterprises make the move to the Cloud in a strategic way, while minimizing risks to security and operating stability. How you use the Cloud will be unique to your organization. It might be to become more efficient, or more agile. You might be under pressure to innovate at a faster pace, or to grow new services and enter new markets. You might be trying to standardize your processes or exit your data center. Cloud can help in all of these areas. We work with you on a roadmap to the results you want, then transform your applications and infrastructure to deliver them. We can accelerate your path to a simpler, more modern IT estate, and create new business models. We don t just focus on cloud infrastructure. We use over 40 years experience in optimizing technology, both legacy and contemporary, to integrate and run the entire hybrid estate and make it work to serve your business objectives. We don t start with any one applications or infrastructure operating model as the answer. That s because we support whatever model makes sense for your business, drawing on our ecosystem of alliance partners and their services, and placing security and risk management at the heart of our approach. We draw on our comprehensive portfolio of cloud services to bring you everything you need to realize the potential of the Cloud in your business.

6 Navigating the market and finding the best solutions for you. Throughout Cloud Choice, we leverage our enterprise cloud platforms and resources to accelerate results. And we draw on the industry-leading services and solutions of our ecosystem of alliance partners. Our overall approach is vendor-agnostic and client-driven. We wrap the industry-leading vendors offerings into a complete business service. This makes them easier to consume, and is geared toward achieving ROI and business outcomes. We offer a wide range of SaaS solutions in combination with implementation services specific to these products. These include Adobe, Ariba, AWS, Box, Google, Microsoft Dynamics, MuleSoft, Netsuite, Pega, Saleforce suite, SAP HANA, ServiceMax and Workday. We partner with Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to offer managed business services, leveraging our intellectual property, an underlying ISV technology and a cloud platform: For example Insurance Connect, which leverages Guidewire, or DiALM for asset-intensive industries, based on AVEVA. Both of these are hosted on AWS. We have global capability in designing and delivering cloud-native applications based on the major full-function Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers: Cloud Foundry-based such as HP Helion, IBM Bluemix and Pivotal Cloud Foundry; Force. com, Google App Engine, Heroku and Microsoft Azure. For clients using containers and Docker, we use lighter PaaS solutions based on Mesos and Marathon. We invest in open source cloud projects so that our clients can benefit from rich crowd-sourced innovations. In Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), we offer public cloud infrastructure through a range of major partner providers including AWS, Microsoft Azure, CenturyLink, and IBM SoftLayer, alongside a range of private cloud options with partners including EMC. With Microsoft, we offer SkySight to create an Azure-like experience in a private cloud model. This offers the level of security and control which many enterprises demand. Depending on client needs we offer a full stack approach to Business Process as a Service (BPaaS) where we cover the entire value chain for a process such as Finance & Accounting, or a specialized stack where we provide services in a niche area. Our approach can encompass applications and infrastructure from a wide range of partners. For customers who approach the Cloud with one preferred vendor in mind, we leverage partner technologies, methods and innovation in all areas of our Cloud Choice portfolio. Capgemini Cloud Choice with Microsoft is our offering for Microsoft Azure customers. < Previous 7

Improve cost-efficiency Become more agile Modernize your applications portfolio Transform infrastructure Two success stories: Reduce time to market Perform at scale Standardize processes Empower the business to innovate PostNL: All-cloud strategy to reduce costs and improve flexibility To reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), PostNL chose a full cloud strategy, implementing SaaS or cloud-native applications in preference to migrating workloads to cloud infrastructure. Public cloud was preferred to private cloud, and workloads kept on-premise only as a last resort. We analyzed the entire IT landscape of 400 applications and made them cloudready. We migrated applications securely to a public cloud platform (Microsoft Azure). Sogeti manages and operates PostNL s applications in the Cloud on an ongoing basis. PostNord: Pilot innovative services, and scale them up easily We brought together DevOps and the Cloud, using IBM Bluemix PaaS to create an application that supported PostNord s online international shipping service. This was delivered within a Logistics Lab, an environment where PostNord could innovate, industrialize new ideas and test them at speed. PostNord is equipped to be agile, introducing new services quickly to compete with ecommerce competitors. < Previous Next > 15
