4. CYBER CONFIDENCE
Protecting Enterprise Information & Value
Information has become the most valuable asset of any enterprise,
apart from its people. The threat to that information has risen in
proportion to the value of information. As enterprise IT becomes
fully integrated – from the smartphone, through the cloud, to the
factory floor – using information effectively is a product of how
well that information is secured.
To fully protect against cyber threats, consider these steps:
Integrate cybersecurity with business processes
to make it a standard for the organization.
Evaluate your current cybersecurity position. More than 17
percent of data breaches result from social engineering.
CSC offers cybersecurity risk-management services that help you keep pace with today’s rapidly
changing IT and threat environment. CSC ensures that our IT security solutions exceed industry
security standards, help you transform risk into opportunity and enable you to engage in trusted
transactions with clients, partners and suppliers worldwide.
Maintain strong control over access rights to systems and
information. Most data breaches occur immediately
after an employee departs.
Engage third-party managed services. This offers
access to advanced tools and techniques that
might be otherwise unaffordable.
Plan for disruption and disasters. These
events are unavoidable.
Prepare for incidents that result in data loss or create
denial-of-service attacks. A quick response will
minimize business disruption.

5. THE CLOUD-EMPOWERED ENTERPRISE
Accelerate Innovation, Speed Time to Market, Lower Operating Cost
Competition and changing consumer expectations are forcing organizations
to change rapidly and innovate. Addressing these challenges requires an IT
operating model that drives innovation and accelerates time to market.
Organizations require cloud agility to deliver IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS).
ITaaS allows increased market competitiveness, encourages experimentation
and speeds application releases.
To begin your journey to the cloud-empowered enterprise consider
the following:
An enterprise-wide commitment to change
to realize the benefits of a cloud-enabled
operating model.
Assessment and prioritization of application portfolio and
cloud-migration strategy to maximize value.
Cloud application blueprints that are infrastructure
independent, support simple to complex multi-tier applications
and enable application portability among clouds.
An enterprise hybrid cloud ecosystem that lets the
workloads and applications guide choice based on cost,
performance and governance requirements.
Application-centric, policy-based hybrid-
cloud management to enforce governance,
compliance and security in a self-service model.
Cloud-based DevOps acceleration to deliver
applications faster with fewer operational issues.
CSC migrates applications to a secure, as-a-service cloud-based model for clients worldwide. Our clients
enjoy next-generation cloud management and infrastructure, millions of dollars in savings and over 40%
lower annual IT infrastructure services costs. With CSC cloud, our clients’ IT investments rose 48% and
time-to-market for custom enterprise applications improved by 78%, all with a constant budget. 2csc.com/conversations

6. MOBILITY IN AN ‘ALWAYS-ON’ WORLD
Sensor data is pouring into corporate data warehouses from machines and
mobile devices, while the BYO (bring your own) movement is changing the
relationship between IT and users. Applications are more available than ever,
delivering business-changing insights directly to those who can use them most.
To make sure your business benefits:
Identify the appropriate cases for mobility. Mobilizing the right
processes benefits the entire enterprise value chain, drawing
focus to what is unique to a particular business process.
Channel the driving force behind the mobile revolution—users.
Adopt realistic mobile management policies, especially in highly
regulated industries, to create exciting engagement models for
employees, partners and clients.
Realize data is the game changer. The real power of
mobility is the access to information everywhere,
supporting fluid applications and flexible work styles.
Embrace diversity. An effective mobile strategy will
allow employees to pick the device, OS and application
that lets them be most effective at their jobs.
Get beyond “an app for that.” Apps that can fill
specific tasks or work together should link enterprise
systems, machines, big data and cloud assets.
Regain control and prevent shadow IT. This reduces unmanaged
consumption and usage of services. It also reduces the risk of
cyber attacks, data breaches and data loss.
CSC ensures that your mobile apps meet user expectations for performance and engagement. We support
applications and services on any device or platform, ensuring their security, performance, scalability,
compatibility and usability. Our full range of managed services for devices, applications and content helps
you move up the maturity curve with an agile mobile infrastructure that scales according to your needs. 3csc.com/conversations

7. NEXT-GEN APPS FOR THE
AS-A-SERVICE ECONOMY
Business processes today are driven almost exclusively by applications.
Getting applications right, and getting them out first, is an imperative. The
margin of error has shrunk to a razor’s edge.
To make sure your business benefits:
Involve both IT and business units in modernization.
Modernization affects people and processes as much as
applications. Updating applications alone won’t achieve
transformation goals.
Modernize business and technical assets. Streamline the existing portfolio
for efficiency, simplicity and lower TCO; migrate and modernize applications
and data, while moving to more efficient technology platforms.
Replace or extend applications to address business
changes. Build high-quality business applications
and integrate SaaS to accelerate delivery.
Appoint someone to manage the application environment and
look for areas for continuous improvement. Your environment
now includes multiple clouds and new IaaS and PaaS. Look for
help to aggregate, integrate and broker IT services.
Embrace new methods for application development, distribution and
consumption. Centralized application distribution manages the cost of
maintaining an application library, especially when managing multiple
devices and platforms. An apps-store model enables user self-service.
CSC will help you realize new value from innovation, inside and outside the company. Our deep understanding of
the application revolution means we can help you connect all the dots between your initiatives. Every investment
you make will yield the best possible return in the shortest period of time. 4csc.com/conversations

8. BIG AND FAST DATA FOR
BUSINESS ADVANTAGE
Data is a driving force underlying business decisions and processes. Applying
leading technologies and analytics to your existing and new data will help you
identify new and better ways to serve, produce, optimize and compete.
Information overload hasn’t overwhelmed us. It’s creating a new generation of
opportunities and advances.
To make sure your business benefits:
Start simply. Initial projects should involve minimal
plumbing and a well-scoped problem. Early success
will drive demand for broader applications.
Don’t translate an entire data warehouse into a big data
system table for table. Big data approaches to data mining
differ from more familiar structured environments.
Tweak. As needs evolve and data sources change, big
data models need to be recalibrated periodically to
maintain peak performance.
Bring on the scientists. Include experts with skills in mathematics,
programming and your industry—specialists who can identify the
best data sources and best questions to get the right outcomes.
CSC helps companies make decisions at the speed of data. We build global solutions rapidly through
close industry relationships and a relentless focus on improving time to value. Using an iterative
development approach, many of our projects become self-funded in the first year, with client returns
generated in the first quarter of implementation. 5csc.com/conversations
