Alliance Overview

Merging complementary strengths

With a relationship that spans nearly a decade, the alliance between Sun Microsystems and Deloitte continues to provide real benefits for our joint clients. The collaborative spirit that drives the alliance enables our two organizations to more effectively team, create innovative business solutions, and develop enhanced ways of serving clients.

The Sun and Deloitte alliance merges the complementary strengths of two industry leaders: Sun's industry-leading hardware and software infrastructure solutions and Deloitte's deep industry experience and extensive business consulting skills. The results are time-tested, integrated offerings that help clients realize business value and achieve rapid and efficient implementation, reduced risk, and a solid return on investment.

Extensive technical resources are dedicated to reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO), mitigating risk, and accelerating the deployment of joint offerings. Deloitte's global Solutions Network (SNET) provides Sun technology to support client service and delivery and connects virtually with Sun's Solution Centers.

Addressing critical business issues

• Security and Privacy: Enterprise Role Life Cycle Management (ERLM)
• Custom Applications
• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP): Oracle and SAP
