The new services are expected to enable the company's clients to maximize cost efficiencies by selecting from a variety of proven pre-configured services, or they may choose a custom-designed solution to meet their specific needs.

"This is the beginning of an important transformation for the IT services industry in terms of secure, integrated product offerings and an advancement over the much publicized 'cloud' concepts of the past few years," said Jim Stikeleather, chief technology officer for Perot Systems. "Additionally, the new offerings are the result of our collaboration with leading providers in this space, such as Dell and VMware, to further enhance delivery of the most benefits at the lowest total cost of ownership and highest potential flexibility for our clients."

They afford immediate operational and long-term strategic efficiencies, including scalability, fast provisioning and flexibility.

Perot Systems(R) Virtual Desktops provide secure, enterprise-class pay-per-use desktop computing services so clients can simplify their desktop environment as well as enhance end-user satisfaction. Desktop solutions can also be deployed in the client's datacenter and be remotely managed by Perot Systems to provide low total cost of ownership with the privacy of on-premise solutions.

Perot Systems Virtual Desktops feature benefits for clients' IT departments that include simplified desktop management and support, and enhanced security and business continuity capability. The service offers end users increased productivity and mobility, as well as enhanced overall user experience.

"We have delivered IT and consulting services to organizations around the world for more than 20 years," said Raj Asava, chief strategy officer for Perot Systems," and now we have extended our integration capabilities and expertise as well as created pay-per-use offerings to deliver to our clients tighter financial control, increased productivity, and enhanced operating agility."

Perot Systems' new services are designed to enable its clients to rapidly acquire computing resources while avoiding the capital costs, time and resources associated with purchasing and provisioning their own hardware and software.
