Company & Customers

Open Work is for our Company and its Customers

Sun's Open Work platform enables employees to work effectively anywhere, anytime, using any device. That means we're continually expanding our footprint — from 350 locations to literally thousands around the globe — by creating virtual workspaces. Overall, this increases the company's reach while lowering incremental costs. (In 2007, Open Work saved the company nearly $68 million in real estate costs.)

Open Work is a win/win for Sun and its customers because it:

• Puts our employees nearer to our customers — fostering better relationships and closer collaboration.
• Helps Sun attract the best and the brightest, most innovative talent, and provides them with the innovative technologies and work environments that enable them to make an impact and allow Sun to maintain our R&D advantage worldwide.
• Enables us to rapidly disperse workers. This allows us to maintain flexibility and stay productive.
• Positions Sun to quickly, effectively respond to the next waves of growth in the industry with manageable capital expenditure.
• Supports business continuity when the unexpected happens — enabling us to remain connected to colleagues, customers, and families.
