Leader in managed infrastructure services signs
industry-first agreement with AWS to help customers drive cloud
migrations and accelerate their digital transformations
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.”
