To lead a company safely through the progressive digitization, a healthy mix of so-called "Robust IT" and "Fast IT" is necessary, experts agree. Only in this way, a balanced implementation of business processes can be implemented. The digital business platform MetaArc by Fujitsu offers new solution approaches.
"While the core system will be modernized, customers can enjoy the full power and flexibility to continue their business successfully, securely and economically. We thereby reduce the risks and complexities involving the hybrid IT structures by providing cloud solutions”, explains Wilhelm Petermann, Fujitsu, Vice President, Managing Director Austria & Switzerland.

The platform MetaArc delivers the right tool for this
A new hybrid IT landscape is developed, whereby the performance of the entire infrastructure is maximised at the same time. Thereby, this approach reveals existing data processes open, integrates and controls own cloud services as well as those from other providers, and operates alongside existing customer-specific IT.
"Our platform supports the implementation of the so-called 'Fast IT', which is normally used by individual departments and companies for innovative digital solutions. Simultaneously, the platform relies on a reinforced networking of digitalisation initiatives to promote the modernisation of the 'Robust IT' systems and to make the most of the existing data and IT systems”, says Petermann.

Cloud strategy
For this, the platform MetaArc it includes the technologies, tools and partnerships that are needed to implement a strategically successful cloud foundation via public, private or hybrid service. Because in today's IT world, businesses can hardly afford to do without cloud strategy or they would have to accept disadvantages over competition. MetaArc therefore relies on solutions and services aimed at a holistic cloud implementation and which can be applied to the entire company.
This applies to the private sector, which relies on growth and competitive advantage, as well as to public institutions, which rely increasingly on a "digital-first strategy" and must thereby act economically. “The phenomenon Industry 4.0 connects millions of mobile devices. Gigantic amounts of data result thereby and IT environments become more complex. In order to master these challenges, but also the chances of the Internet of Things optimally, a flexible business platform is needed. And for this we have developed MetaArc”, Wilhelm Petermann summarizes.
