Bull launches Bull Boost: strategic offerings to ensure digital technology actively drives growth

Regulatory News:

With its wealth of experience in high-added value digital projects, Bull is launching Bull Boost: a program of offerings designed to help organizations transform information technologies into a strategic catalyst that will speed up their development and ‘boost their business’.

In tough economic times, cost reduction is central to many organizations’ strategies. However, evidence clearly shows that growth is possible for those who have grasped how to profit from the new opportunities offered by a changing world: from new markets, new ways of living and working, new economic models… And with digital technology now drives around 30% of global growth, it is firmly at the heart of these issues. Through the Bull Boost program, Bull is offering avenues for investment designed to deliver rapid and measurable ROI, to help organizations become more agile and stake their place among tomorrow’s leaders.

Developing new uses for digital technology

Bull Boost consists of a program of solutions designed to accelerate organizations’ digital transformation and competitiveness.

Using a powerful combination of Bull’s own technologies (Extreme Computing, cloud, Big Data, security…) and market-leading solutions from the Group’s partners, it provides integrated, scalable offerings – with the option for modular implementation – that take both legacy systems and new requirements into account to enable innovative new uses of technology.

The aim? To capitalize fully on organizations’ investments in their existing systems, thanks to Bull’s world-renowned skills in systems integration and interoperability:

• RETHINKING EXCELLENCE by industrializing digital infrastructures through Extreme Virtualization, optimizing business exchanges with new-generation exchange platforms and using the cloud to boost agility in an increasingly uncertain world.
• RE-ESTABLISHING CLOSE CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS by rethinking business processes through computerization, boosting sales and customer loyalty with new-generation CRM solutions and creating a more engaging user experience thanks to multi-channel platforms.
• REINFORCING TRUST AND SECURITY by managing risks more effectively with the latest cyber-security technologies, making vital processes more resilient and available thanks to critical systems, and protecting organizations’ information assets with new digital capital management technologies.
• REINVENTING INNOVATION by capitalizing on wider access to Extreme Computing to design future products, using Big Data to analyze our ever more complex environment more effectively and making use of the Internet of things to create new services for the mobile, hyper-connected world.

"Over and above the technologies involved, the digital revolution will be about new ways of using them,” affirmed Marie-Pierre de Bailliencourt, Bull’s Deputy CEO. "Our aim is to help our customers focus on innovative business practices by drawing on Bull’s unique capabilities in integrating intelligent digital infrastructures in a transparent, reliable and secure way. So Bull Boost is absolutely in step with our customers’ changing needs, as they strive for maximum profitability and efficiency.”
