Our Alliances: Sun Microsystems Inc.

Our clients demand innovative technology for their most critical and challenging business computing problems, and we are pleased to work with Sun to help them in their efforts to address this challenge.

With a relationship that spans nearly a decade, Deloitte and Sun leverage our complementary strengths to deliver services and solutions designed to provide innovation and value to clients. By combining Sun’s hardware and software infrastructure solutions and Deloitte’s deep industry experience and extensive business consulting skills, we are able to deliver effective, repeatable, enterprise-wide services and solutions designed to help clients in their efforts to address their essential business issues.

Deloitte and Sun have teamed to provide a series of service offerings to assist clients in the following areas:

• Security and Privacy/Governance, Risk and Compliance
  Our most recent joint service offering involving identity and access management is Enterprise Role Lifecycle Management (ERLM), an integrated approach to facilitate compliance management and reporting and to streamline user provisioning through the use of “enterprise roles.” ERLM combines key methodologies, services and technologies to assist clients in their efforts to develop a technical architecture that is aligned with their business objectives. Learn more about  ERLM. 
• Eco Sustainability and Solutions
  Using its own methodology, Deloitte has developed a holistic approach to Green Information Technology (IT) for its internal organization. Similarly, Sun has achieved immediate return on investment through a thorough restructuring of its own data centers. Building on the experience, knowledge and skills of both companies, the Deloitte-Sun alliance can help clients in their efforts to apply innovative practices and products and to implement their own Green IT initiatives.
• Systems Development
  Deloitte helps clients in their efforts to construct, modify, test and tune application components and custom-built systems for Web or legacy environment services, enabled by the J2EE framework and other technology from Sun. One of the focuses of the Deloitte and Sun Alliance is on leveraging the results from joint projects, primarily with  public sector clients in the Department of Human Services, as well as credit card transaction engines for one of the world's largest providers.
• Enterprise Applications (ERP): Oracle and SAP
  Sun and Deloitte provide a complete offering of services and solutions to help our clients in their efforts to solve complex business issues as they implement packaged applications such as  SAP and  Oracle (including JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, Retek and Siebel). These services and solutions leverage our respective competencies and span the full project lifecycle from up-front business analysis and business case development to ongoing system maintenance and support. Learn more about  ERP services.

“Deloitte's strong industry understanding, knowledge of Sun technologies, and experience helping their clients solve business challenges surrounding security and compliance positions them to help our mutual customers in their efforts to develop business-driven solutions across all industries.”

- Peter Ryan, Executive Vice President, Global Sales & Services, Sun Microsystems
