Seattle, the United States and Paris,
France – November 14, 2023 - Atos today announced the
extension of their long-standing partnership with Microsoft to help
their clients unlock and scale their Microsoft 365 Copilot and
Generative AI deployments. The Atos’ Tech Foundations business line
and Microsoft will invest over a 3-year period to build a
strategic, comprehensive portfolio to harness the power of data and
AI in a secure, efficient and ethical way.
The strategic collaboration is structured around
three core pillars: solutions, co-creation and competencies. Atos
is an early adopter of Microsoft 365 Copilot, providing Microsoft
development teams with feedback on its own experiences. Also, as a
Microsoft Systems Integrator Partner, Atos is currently supporting
seven flagship clients in multiple geographies with their early
adoption of Microsoft 365 Copilot, enabling them to structure their
existing data and drive value creation through user personas.
Solutions
Atos’ current portfolio in Digital Workplace
will embed Microsoft 365 Copilot and Azure OpenAI Service, helping
customers to leverage proprietary data, securely, enabling a step
change in employee user experience, productivity and creativity,
all thanks to AI.
Leveraging the capabilities of Microsoft 365
Copilot extensions and Azure OpenAI Service, Atos is
industrializing an initial set of solution accelerators focused on
transforming customer experience, streamlining knowledge
management, supporting developers with code generation and
leveraging personalization, semantic search and summarization.
Atos is already using Microsoft 365 Copilot and
OpenAI to reimagine its business operations. The Digital Workplace
business line already generates automated responses to RFIs/RFPs,
resulting in 50% reduction of cost.
Co-creation
To accelerate the adoption of Generative AI and
Microsoft 365 Copilot in production, Atos and Microsoft provide
advisory services, solution accelerators and pilot funding to guide
their clients along their journey from experimentation to scaled
production deployments. Several projects are currently
ongoing, mostly in the exploratory and experimentation phases.
Competencies
As part of the strategic partnership, Atos is
committed to training 15 000 employees by the end of 2024,
with particular focus on Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption and
extensions, Azure OpenAI Service, prompt engineering, Azure
Cognitive Search and Azure Graph. The scale will enable Atos to
meet expected demands and rapidly shift customer engagements from
pilot programs to full scale implementation.
Alexa Van Den Bempt, Senior Vice
President, Digital Business Platforms, Tech Foundations,
Atos said “by deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot solutions
in-house first, we are able to support our customers' education and
adoption of Generative AI, from strategy to implementation, with
genuine legitimacy. We speak from experience, and when it comes to
such game-changing innovations, experience is invaluable.”
“We are excited to expand our collaboration with
Atos,” said Kelly Rogan, corporate vice president of Global
System Integrators and Advisory Partners at Microsoft.
“The work Atos is doing with Microsoft 365 Copilot and Azure OpenAI
to deliver tangible ready-to-market services and solutions will
enable business transformation for customers.”
John Cairney, Head of Digital Strategy
and Architecture at Scottish Water added: “Scottish Water
has been working with AI for many years and Atos have helped us to
achieve significant benefits from this technology across our
business. As part of our commitment to innovation and value
creation through emerging technologies, we have embraced Generative
AI and are part of the Early Adopters Program for Microsoft 365
Copilot.”
Atos was positioned as a Leader by Gartner
in its 2023 Magic Quadrant for Outsourced Digital Workplace
Services (ODWS) for the seventh consecutive year.
