White Paper

The Move Towards Collaborative Business – From Person to People and from System to Service by Steve Jones, CTO for Application Development Transformation at Capgemini

The next generation of IT has moved towards “people centric” environments, which are based around the simple idea that the goal of IT systems should be to enable collaboration between people. The IT that delivers this collaboration should be focused on enabling people to choose the services that they want to use in the way they want to consume them, rather than seeking to create multifunction monoliths that try and deliver all and everything that any user could ever potentially use whether they want them or not. This paper describes the changes that the people centric model will drive in IT and in particular how Capgemini and Google are at the forefront of driving that change.

Capgemini’s approach is about providing “IT couture” in contrast to the one size fits all approach of other solutions. Most desktop solutions aim to provide an “average” solution for an “average” user. Capgemini firmly believes that there is no such thing as the average user, and indeed there is no such thing as an average partner. In working with Google to deliver Google Apps™ Premier Edition as part of the solution set available to our clients, Capgemini has moved its DDS vision to the next level.
