Business & Decision Eolas

Eolas is a Business & Decision subsidiary that specialises in web-based, high quality online services, outsourcing, hosting of production, development and test environments dedicated to Business Intelligence, CRM, ERP and e-Business applications. Business & Decision Eolas works closely with market leaders in infrastructure (namely Schneider/APC, Dell and Intel) and the market's major technology vendors (IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Sage, SAP and SAS). Supported by these partnerships, Business & Decision Eolas is equipped to manage the entire project lifecycle while delivering constant added value: the best solutions for clients' technical, analytical and business needs.

Standardised hosting services for specialist applications

The Eolas offering is based on expertise in areas including Business Intelligence, Business to Consumer (B 2 C) and Business to Business (B 2 B) portals, CRM and ERP. The respective hosting environments either form the basis of our customer's management information system, or are otherwise closely integrated with it. Business & Decision Eolas is thus directly involved in the project's strategic framework and it fully understands the responsibilities that it shoulders when referring to contractual agreements and service quality. Business & Decision Eolas is involved in the most critical aspects of an information system; performance, availability, adaptability, scalability and eco-responsibility.

This service offering supports the following three areas and functions:

  • e-Enterprise
  • e-Administration
  • e-Commerce

Critical Adaptive Eco-Hosting Offering

Eolas' service offering and infrastructure provide the foundation for a new generation of outsourcing, based on the following types of managed services:

  • Management of custom applications, based on the provision of infrastructure services (Platform as a Service: (PaaS) and related service agreements
  • Specialised hosting of the market's leading applications, in a customer-specific context or in a Software as a Service (SaaS) model
  • Value added services to complement customer-managed infrastructures: business recovery planning, archiving, etc.
  • Turnkey SaaS (e-Commerce, digital marketing, etc.)

Eolas ensures that system availability and security are central to all service offerings - the two criteria that IT departments rank as most important. It also enhances reliability chains, catering for the three principle data centre scenarios: normal, backup and resilience. The following elements are integral to the facilities and services that Eolas offers to its customers:

  • Service quality commitment with the "Extended SLA" concept: Operational security (availability and security), compliance, productivity and sustainable development
  • Operational reliability is ensured by our "SCADA" (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) software, ensuring the operation of all data centre functions
  • Compliance to ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) standards
  • The design and development of flexible networks that ensure connectivity between the various stakeholders, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • A data centre that is a managed services resource: virtual storage, virtual servers, bandwidth, firewall and targeted optimisation

An eco-efficient approach

In partnership with thought and industry leaders such as Intel and Schneider/APC, Eolas is committed to a new generation of data centres. This 'green' model does not offer any compromises and is based on the following seven pillars:

  • Eco-friendly construction
  • Optimised energy efficiency (PUE - Power Usage Effectiveness)
  • Optimised electric energy distribution
  • 'Green' servers
  • Intense use of virtual technologies
  • 'Green' energy (recycled and renewable)
  • Continuous optimisation

This sustainable development initiative complies with the European Union's 'Code of Conduct' for data centres and leads to energy cost benefits, without slowing down the growth of activity required by evolving business needs.
