Jim Swanson mentioned how Monsanto is consolidating and standardizing our IT service desk, end-user compute (formerly deskside) and data centre operations. Currently, these services are provided through a variety of staffing models and vendors across the globe. Because of inconsistent service delivery and outdated systems, they are costly to provide. In the future, these services will be provided through two global vendors: Capgemini, one of the world's foremost providers of consulting, technology and managed services, and Atos, an international leader in digital services.
