EUROPEAN CONTRACT: AIRBUS SELECTS SOGETI-TRANSICIEL GROUP TO MANAGE ITS UNIX PLATFORMS |
| |
Airbus has chosen the Sogeti-Transiciel Group as the sole provider to supply and service all of the aircraft manufacturer’s 9,000 Unix workstations.
|
| |
The contract covers both the supply of Unix platforms and maintaining them in good operating condition. These are the key machines in the design and production sequence for aircraft, intended to develop new programmes such as those for the Airbus A380, A400M and A350 models. These systems are used in a number of Airbus departments: the Engineering Research Office, Flight Testing, Pilot Training Simulation and On-Board Systems.
|
| |
Airbus’s aim is to ensure an optimal allocation of costs associated with operating the hardware, and to minimise the risk of problems in managing the workstations’ deployment. Sogeti-Transiciel Regions has accordingly undertaken to reduce the Unix machines’ operating costs through plans for technical innovations that can be expected to increase productivity and improve the quality of service. |
| |
The responsibilities entrusted to Sogeti-Transiciel Regions for the next five years include a variety of activities: support for the users and resolving problems, considering how to meet IT requests, managing the Unix workstations, packaging the applications and deploying them. |
| |
In making its selection, Airbus had the benefit of a relationship that began in April 2000, and trusted Sogeti-Transiciel Regions, knowing the company’s capabilities for both reformulating systems and replicating internationally the services it was providing. |
| |
Sogeti-Transiciel Regions will be providing this service to end-users in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. Some of the recurring activities will be provided from a Sogeti-Transiciel remote-service centre, located at Blagnac, France. |
