Our integrated technology, consulting and outsourcing services deliver efficiency and modernisation in the drive to cost-effectively provide frontline forces with what they need, when they need it. We have developed strong strategic partnerships in the defence and security sector, enabling us to build a deep understanding of both the financial targets and the constraints within which our clients operate.

These clients include the UK Ministry of Defence, MoD Netherlands and NATO and all are benefiting from our sector-specific expertise and innovative technology solutions. For example, we implemented and now operate the Defence Electronic Commerce Service framework (DECS) that enables open trading and continuous collaborative working across the UK MOD and its supplier network.

Capgemini also has long-term partnerships with diverse public sector organisations, including Department of Work and Pensions, HM Revenue & Customs and Criminal Justice IT. This has enabled us to expand our knowledge of what it takes for publicly-funded organisations to address their transformation and operational efficiency needs.

With our support, our clients are able to:

• efficiently design and deploy the most up-to-date technology in support of operational effectiveness
• manage cost control and support ROI while delivering genuine business value in the face of intense budgetary pressure
• minimise risk during technology transformation
• derive maximum benefit from information assets and meet regulatory compliance
• reduce costs through the pooling and sharing of resources
• ease access to services and information for frontline personnel.

To achieve this we combine our proven experience in business transformation, logistics, operations and training planning with the development of integration frameworks for IT-service outsourcing. This allows us to deliver practical solutions for our defence and security clients:

• Information Management:our proprietary Information Exploitation framework methodology ensures that our clients easily and reliably create a single view of all their data so that they can release the hidden potential of their information assets.
• Corporate Services: we help our clients cut the cost of back office systems without compromising the security of the enterprise by providing common solutions for common requirements in corporate services.
• Delivering SOA: we continue to help our clients to effectively use SOA to retain their existing technology investments and build on them to enhance functionality and introduce new technologies when appropriate through application of our proven Integrated Architecture Framework (IAF).
• Secure Shared Services: our strength in technology solution delivery for shared services helps clients manage costs, control and support ROI through the shared availability of services, such as training and travel booking.

As the military and defence sector addresses broadening security concerns and continued operational intensity in the face of ongoing pressure to contain costs, we provide the assurance of innovative technology solutions and business services that deliver benefits quickly, cost effectively and with confidence.
