The document discusses Sogeti and IBM piloting the use of cloud tools and environments for development and testing. Key points include that traditional test tools and environments are expensive to maintain with high demands on infrastructure. The cloud could help reduce costs and complexity by providing on-demand shared resources. The pilot aims to gain experience using IBM's Development and Test Cloud and prepare a cloud service offering, evaluating aspects like easy setup, centralized management, and technical knowledge required.
