Supported by a dedicated €2 billion investment over the next 5 years, Atos OneCloud will be delivered through highly secure and decarbonised, public, private or hybrid Cloud environments.

“Atos OneCloud blends industry customised consulting with application transformation expertise in an end-to-end set of services”, said Elie Girard, Atos CEO.

“It is the answer to help further accelerate clients’ digital transformation into secure and decarbonized Cloud environments. To drive improved business outcomes, each of our customers can now co-design their own Atos OneCloud Plan. Benefiting from a unique set of capabilities, this roadmap for enterprise transformation will be built and delivered end to end by Atos, with its powerful ecosystem of partners,”  Girard continued.

“We are seeing a secular shift in the industry as organisations are accelerating the journey toward AI-enabled cloud capabilities that help to transform service delivery. As the pandemic is sadly showing that the goal has to be end-to-end delivery that is underpinned by expansive digital assets. Atos is reacting to this shift by bundling all of its cloud assets in a newly formed business unit to create a one-stop-shop for its clients. Among the broad assets providing a clear differentiation are its investments into the European GAIA-X cloud initiative and the Decarbonisation Center of Excellence which supports the holistic outcomes that Atos is aiming to support”, said Tom Reuner, Senior VP at HFS.

“The announcement of Atos OneCloud and subsequent investment will enable clients to accelerate their journey to the cloud. Clients are increasingly looking to utilise the cloud to expand into new markets, launch new products and services, and innovate at scale. Atos OneCloud offers a unique one-stop-shop providing multiple offerings (including consulting, multi-cloud orchestration, DevSecOps, platforms, AI, ML, automation, and cybersecurity) to support and expedite cloud adoption. A key differentiator and client commitment include Atos OneCloud Plan, enabling a co-design approach with clients, and the ability to build cloud business cases, cloud reference architecture, and modernisation roadmaps in just 90 days. Atos is also further committed to reducing the client’s carbon footprint through the inclusion of decarbonisation offerings”, said John Laherty, Senior Research Analyst at NelsonHall
