Collaboration in Action: Sun and Capgemini
Capgemini and Sun have collaborated as strategic global alliance partners for more than a decade. When Capgemini’s experience as a recognised global leader in consulting, technology and outsourcing services is combined with Sun’s recognised leadership in network computing and enterprise software development clients realise the greater benefits and value of a collaborative partnership. This unique and powerful partnership offers clients the following:

Compliance & Identity Management
Compliance is a major business issue for our clients and therefore a critical business development initiative for both Capgemini and Sun. While many businesses may view regulatory compliance obligations as a threat, others view them as an opportunity to enhance and reinforce their business process controls to withstand the test of time. Capgemini has collaborated with Sun to develop a true end-to-end, holistic compliance solution enabling businesses not just to fulfil their regulatory obligations but to gain commercial advantage in doing so.
Identity Management is a corner-stone of compliance. The Capgemini vision of Adaptive Security(SM) places Identity Management technology as a core component of an Integrated Security Infrastructure. Working collaboratively with Sun and using their industry-leading ‘Identity Management Suite’, Capgemini can address the potentially competing demands of simplicity of implementation and operation on the one hand and on the other, flexibility and sustainability of the solution over the long term.
Supply Chain & RFID
Capgemini, a recognised global leader in supply chain management, has collaborated with Sun to provide the enterprise market with comprehensive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) solutions for Supply Chain. Designed by Capgemini supply chain and technology professionals, in conjunction with Sun, this solution is based on linking RFID to Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) systems. The solution will enable sourcing and allocation decisions to be made in real time, so companies can achieve flexible and responsive supply chain execution. By using real-time business intelligence solutions, RFID-data can be used to optimise supply chain processes on a real-time basis.
