Mazda Europe signs outsourcing contract with EDS
EDS, an HP company, today announced a five-year technology infrastructure outsourcing contract with Mazda Motor Europe aimed to decrease operational costs, improve service quality and increase technology infrastructure availability for Mazda.
Under the agreement, EDS will consolidate technology from Mazda’s data centers in Willebroek, Belgium, and Leverkusen, Germany, to centralized services in EDS’ data center in Frankfurt, Germany. EDS will create and manage a standardized infrastructure as well as use best practices to improve stability and scalability of Mazda’s European technology environment.
“Creating a consolidated, standardized technology environment will help us provide efficient, 24/7 services for our customers and dealers in 41 markets across Europe,†said Steve Robertson, vice president of Business Strategy and Information Systems at Mazda Motor Europe. “EDS’ presence in Europe mirrors ours, and EDS brings an innovative mix of technology and automotive industry expertise that will improve our European operations.â€
Outsourcing elements of the IT or specific upgrade/renewal projects can be a great way of reducing your costs, streamlining business activities and making IT work for your business. Whether it’s right for your business will depend on your IT, your business and how the two interact, regardless that you receive the perceived benefits remains key, everything else is noise. I wonder if the deal will include any automation or cloud type services? Will there be any virtualization/consolidation, I’ll need to check it out.
