November 21, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IT outsourcing and Web hosting provider EDS (eds.com) said on Monday that it had launched nine Microsoft (microsoft.com) .NET technology centers to drive its application delivery services.
EDS says opening the centers reinforces its commitment to Microsoft technologies, which form the foundation of the software applications layer of the EDS Agile Enterprise Platform, a network-based utility architecture for application delivery. From the centers, EDS will deliver its application, mobility and enterprise integration services suite of offerings using Microsoft .Net tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005 and BizTalk Server 2006.
"EDS and Microsoft see the tremendous benefits of a committed industry partnership with a collaborative solution built on trusted technologies," says Simon Witts, corporate vice president of the enterprise and partner group at Microsoft. "EDS and Microsoft know that .NET architectures delivered with service excellence will allow our mutual clients to be agile and flexible as they grow their businesses."
The centers are located in Winnipeg, Canada, Saginaw, Michigan, Kokomo, Indiana, Swansea, United Kingdom, Cairo, Egypt, Wellington, New Zealand, Chennai, India, Redmond, Washington and Sao Paulo, Brazil.
"EDS is committed to delivering the Agile Enterprise Platform built on EDS Agility Alliance partners' market-leading technologies," says Mike Fischer, vice president of global applications delivery at EDS. "Technology centers built on the .NET development platform, such as the nine EDS has announced for this launch, furthers that commitment and strengthens our ability to execute the EDS Agile Enterprise Platform for our clients."
