Microsoft and T-Systems Join Forces in Innovative Cloud Mega-Project for Shell
Microsoft and T-Systems have signed a major five-year deal that will allow Shell employees to work together online globally.
Shell will buy SharePoint services dynamically via the internet to increase flexibility at work and to reduce costs.
Shell is already using SharePoint as a collaboration platform. With a target date of April 2011, T-Systems is now preparing to provide Shell employees a customized version of the Microsoft SharePoint solution virtually, from its own data center. Doing so will take Shell staff to the next level of collaboration, by offering an enterprise-wide capability to work virtually in the cloud from anywhere at any time.
“For us as a globally operating company, SharePoint is a key instrument for smooth cooperation in projects with decentralized teams. This joint solution will allow us to appreciate considerable cost reductions and greater flexibility,” said Shell’s VP IT Services Jay Crotts.
Microsoft and T-Systems are working jointly on the project, with Microsoft SharePoint providing a central platform for various applications such as document and content management as well as organization and collaboration in project work.
Reinhard Clemens, member of the Deutsche Telekom Board of Management and CEO of T-Systems said, “This is a significant addition to our current contract and puts Shell at the forefront of innovation by combining the data security features of private clouds with the benefits of fully scalable public clouds.”
“Microsoft and T-Systems are now bringing together their strengths in SharePoint for Shell. It is highly significant for us that Shell, one of our largest SharePoint customers, is now receiving the application in a hybrid cloud, thus putting them at the top of the innovation tree in this area,” said Jan Piet van Roon, Global Client Director for Shell at Microsoft.

IBM to Introduce New Virtual Desktop Offering
IBM announced the Virtual Desktop for Smart Business, a new workforce mobility offering that provides anytime, anywhere access to personal desktops from mobile devices — including tablets, netbooks, laptops and thin clients.
The IBM Virtual Desktop allows Windows or Linux desktops to be hosted and managed centrally, thus lowering the cost and complexity of managing PC environments through rapid deployment of new applications, automatic software updates and reducing the need for help desk requests. The Virtual Desktop for Smart Business, which includes VERDE software from Virtual Bridges, can be deployed on a customer’s own infrastructure or through a Business Partner “private cloud” hosted environment.
“As IBM’s latest smarter work offering, the Virtual Desktop expands the time and place where people can access information, contribute ideas and support customers,” said Dan Cerutti, general manager, IBM Smart Business. “Together with our partners, we’re bringing the power of virtual computing to smaller companies seeking greater agility while freeing up critical IT resources.”
The IBM Virtual Desktop has self-configuring, self-managing and self-protecting features that enable easy installation and management, plus continuous backup and recovery. Whether visiting clients, checking inventory or making patient rounds at a hospital, the solution provides instant access to information, helping employees solve problems and speed decision-making.

Our clients can realize benefits of cost savings from the desktop of up to 40% while we’re able to gain a recurring revenue stream on back end management.” Read more
