BT has unveiled a new Business Platform-as-a-Service called BT Personalised Compute Management System (PCMS), designed to help companies speed up time-to-market for new digital services and evolve business models.
PCMS is built on the same cloud management platform used by BT to allow its customers to self-serve, purchase and access cloud services online.
BT customers will be able to use the same platform to consume or bring their own digital services to market, helping them to simplify and accelerate their digital transformation.
Users will gain access to ready-made business support processes and functions to enable them to sell, fulfil and monetise their own portfolio of digital services.
Customers wanting rapid entry into the cloud market will be able to resell BT's existing digital ecosystem services such as Cloud Compute, Compute Storage and Apps from BT available from a choice of 22 locations around the world, said the firm.
This can be for internal consumption or for sale to their own customers, value added resellers or to cross-sell to other PCMS users.
Neil Lock, vice president Compute, Global Services, BT, said: "PCMS is a ready-made platform that allows new ways for companies to digitalise, manage and build profitable business models from their own vibrant ecosystem of consumers, producers and innovators.
"By building on a proven platform, businesses can confidently bring their digital services to market within shorter timescales and concentrate time and resources on innovation and development."
PCMS has been developed and will be offered to the market in partnership with management and technology consultancy BearingPoint.
Angus Ward, partner & CEO Digital Ecosystem Management (DEM), BearingPoint, added: "PCMS brings together BearingPoint's expertise in digital business transformation with BT's skills in digital platform management to provide an end-to-end digital business service."
The platform will be available globally during the final quarter of 2017.
