with New Strategic Partnership to Transform the Infrastructure
Outsourcing Industry
Leader in managed infrastructure services signs
industry-first agreement with AWS to help customers drive cloud
migrations and accelerate their digital transformations
LAS VEGAS and PARIS—Nov.
30, 2022 — At AWS re:Invent, Amazon Web Services,
Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Atos
(EPA: ATO), a global leader in digital transformation, high
performance computing and information technology infrastructure,
today announced a Global Strategic Transformation Agreement that
enables Atos customers with large-scale infrastructure outsourcing
contracts to accelerate workload migrations to the cloud and
achieve digital transformation. The multiyear, industry-first
agreement extends the strategic relationship between Atos and AWS,
with Atos selecting AWS as its preferred enterprise cloud provider
and AWS naming Atos as a strategic partner for IT outsourcing and
data center transformation. This agreement provides business and
technology advisory, digital engineering, and managed services to
Atos’ customers to accelerate their journeys to the cloud. AWS will
also work with Atos to develop and deliver new industry solutions
for IT outsourcing and data center transformation to customers
globally, as well as to upskill Atos’ workforce and drive
efficiencies in its data center, cloud, and security operations,
including selective migration of legacy data centers and IT
hardware assets.
As part of the agreement, Atos will proactively
consult with more than 800 managed infrastructure services
customers spanning the globe to offer a new managed, hybrid-cloud
service portfolio that features the option to move selected
workloads to AWS. The offering will include highly industrialized
migration methodology, solution accelerators, and the companies’
combined expertise in large-scale cloud migrations to support
customers as they adopt and move their workloads to AWS. Atos’
customers will be able to leverage the breadth and depth of AWS’s
portfolio of services—including analytics, compute, databases,
machine learning, and storage—and Atos’ expertise as a Global
Systems Integrator to benefit from the flexibility, security,
resilience, innovation and sustainability offered through the
cloud.
As part of the strategic partnership, Atos’
employees will also be trained on AWS, scaling up their skills and
knowledge to continue supporting customers on their digital
transformation journeys. Over the next three years, Atos plans to
train its employees to achieve more than 20,000 AWS certifications
in order to expedite customers’ cloud adoption and help them
leverage the advantages of the cloud.
“We are proud to strengthen our partnership with
AWS in a first-of-its-kind collaboration, which is transformational
in both its approach and its impact on our customers and the IT
outsourcing industry. In addition, this partnership represents
another significant step in Atos’ transformation,” said
Nourdine Bihmane, Co-CEO in charge of the Tech Foundations
Business line at Atos. “As a trusted partner, we are
offering our customers the opportunity to accelerate their
migration to AWS’s powerful, proven, cost-effective, and scalable
cloud infrastructure, while supporting them in their digital
transformation journey.”
“This marks the beginning of a significant
transformation of the infrastructure outsourcing industry. Through
our collaboration, Atos’ customers will be able to realize the
benefits of moving to the cloud, including reduced operating costs
and carbon emissions, as well as increased business value and
accelerated digital innovation,” Ruba
Borno, vice president,
Worldwide Channels & Alliances, AWS. “We’re
excited at the opportunity to work with Atos to upskill their
workforce, helping to expand their expertise in cloud technologies
so they can enable customers to build, develop, and innovate on the
world’s leading cloud.”
“We are delighted to hear that Atos has signed a
new strategic agreement with AWS. Having been our strategic IT
partners for many years, the announcement further demonstrates
Atos’ and AWS’s commitments to maximizing the potential of moving
critical systems to the public cloud in terms of agility and cost
effectiveness, all while minimizing environmental footprint.”
