For more than 20 years, SunGard has been helping companies plan for and recover from interruptions of all kinds. In fact, they have responded to over 1,500 disasters—with a 100% success rate. Today, they deliver a full suite of business continuity solutions. Today, the objective is information availability—keeping people and information connected. No matter what. With that in mind, SunGard offers complete, cost-effective solutions that include facilities, hardware, peripherals, crisis management, and technical support. Through complete suite of solutions, they help protect not only information systems, but also the people and business processes. Choose from systems recovery, end-user recovery, high availability, and/or network solutions.

SungGard is
SunGard's customers face enormous opportunities and challenges as a result of advances in information technology. The cost of storing, processing and distributing information has decreased dramatically. Organizations have adapted in order to exploit the availability of information and in the process they have become pervasively dependent on it. SunGard's Availability Services customers are shifting from dependence on back-up facilities for disaster recovery to building resilience into their business processes. The information revolution also has led to much more transparent markets which has intensified global competition and margin pressures. As a consequence our Investment Support Systems customers are specializing in selected areas of expertise to gain economies of scale and reduce costs. Now the financial markets are evolving into a global network of highly interdependent specialists.

Strategy

  • SunGard focused on economies of scale to reduce costs; on integration to build value and deep, long-term customer relationships; and on acquisitions to expand efficiently:

  • Delivered information availability solutions for the Availability Services customers through a combination of strategic consulting, technical expertise and world-class infrastructure; and we operate resilient data centers as processors for our Investment Support Systems customers. Our focus is on economies of scale and deep functionality.

  • Create competitive advantage for our customers as we integrate our complementary solutions into highly tailored service offerings that address individual customer requirements. Our focus is on building deep, long-term customer relationships through cost-efficient integration.
