Our Client: Premier Academic Research and Engineering Center

Challenge: Delivering advanced research-based solutions for defense, aerospace and science applications, our client is highly dependent on the performance and availability of its technology infrastructure. To channel more of its research dollars into scientific discovery, our client needed a partner who could effectively optimize technology spending and performance. The partner would take on responsibility for infrastructure design and deployment, delivering high-performance technology with just-in-time logistics, economic value and quality at every stage of the procurement cycle.

Solution: Systems Alliance professionals conducted a technology assessment and mapped a strategy with our partner, Sun Microsystems for cost-effectively providing our client with the best of Sun’s technology. By leveraging our relationships with our client’s sister institutions, we structured financial and logistical processes that met client requirements, minimized risk and ensuring predictable outcomes.
