2. We’re standing at the threshold of a digital business revolution,
from how we interact with each other to how we engage with
organisations, the disruptive shift is well underway.
Organisations are typically reacting to
change by denying, delaying, and
disparaging — perhaps a key
contributory factor as to why 52
percent of the Fortune 500 have either
merged, been acquired, ceased trading
or fallen off the list since 2000.
Digital business disruption is no longer
an option, it’s a necessity. Societal,
organisational, and technology shifts
require a new way of thinking about
business, one that leverages a digital
DNA to deliver great experiences and
better business outcomes, and to
transition from selling products and
services to keeping brand promises and
serving our customer’s customers.
In contradiction, organisations across
most industry sectors are constantly
faced with the challenge of needing to
save money, make processes slicker and
using more intuitive decisions to:
• Proactively allocate and understand
activity across the enterprise
• Use best-practice based business
processes that are easy to use and
provide a better platform for future
digital disruption
• Provide mobile access to the
applications and information
available in all form factors and
languages
• Deliver multi-dimensional reporting
and real-time access to information
or knowledge bases, using integrated
data, structured from multiple
sources and instantly forecasted.
Rapidly commissioned and realised
‘Cloud’ based applications now offer
businesses a mature solution with
foundation components that underpin a
road map for the transition to becoming
a digital enterprise.
CSC is making a difference in
accelerating organisation’s road to
digital by, offering Cloud
implementations of trusted Oracle
applications, furthermore providing
services underwritten by Oracle
themselves that fulfil these key drivers:
• The delivery of a dynamic
applications portfolio (brought on
about by new business process
enablement, advances in enabling
technology and portfolio
rationalisation / consolidation /
modernisation)
• The transition of poorly performing
applications to newer more
contemporary pay as you go services
• Lower the cost of their applications
development & maintenance, using
freely provided regular updates
• Standardise processes, functions,
tools and methodologies that
leverage Oracle’s billions of dollars
investment in research and
development

3. SIGNIFICANTLY ACCELERATED SPEED TO
BENEFITS REALISATION – FROM YEARS
AND MONTHS TO WEEKS
Working closely with Oracle, significant investment has been made in the FSO
programme to further develop the capabilities we offer the market.
An eco-system has been created containing innovative ’bolt-ons’ that are line
of business specific, enhance the overall customer experience or provide
commercial benefits and in building on the rapid implementation templates.
In addition, we have created a number of industry ‘bolt-ons’ in order to
accelerate the solution and enable early recognition of the all-important
tangible ROI benefits.
The CSC FSO for Oracle programme is enabling future platform exploitation
and innovations to be realised in accelerated timescales, faster than could be
previously experienced. The programme is expanding to help organisations
expand with the changing market conditions.
CSC has ready built integration to join
together supporting existing systems and
provide a platform ready for future Digital
development initiatives. We have developed
a global implementation Fixed Scope Offer
(FSO) offering approach for the rapid
delivery of and benefits realisation that can
be achieved with Oracle Cloud solutions.
Our FSO portfolio is ground-breaking and
proven to deliver outstanding value,
particularly in environments requiring
accelerated benefits realisation.
The FSO offerings have been designed not
only to address specific product pillar
deployments but also to span multiple
solutions. This enables:
• Accelerated deployment, reducing the
cost and time of programme
preparation.
• Reduced timeframe to benefits
realisation; allowing the user experience
to be addressed and improved earlier in
the programme lifecycle.
• Robust and repeatable solutions that can
be scaled up or down with ease.
• Specific business requirements
addressed through an end-to-end
business process; ensuring optimisation
is achieved in line with client priorities.
• Detailed understanding of both
corporate priorities and individual
functional requirements through an early
stakeholder engagement programme to
ensure alignment across all areas of the
business down to the users of the
service.
