their successful alliance

during the Alliance Board meeting in Munich, Atos and Siemens decided to define
new initiatives that would further expand their alliance. In particular, the two
companies will, in the second half of this year, explore further opportunities
for joint collaborations in the fields of advanced data analytics, cyber
security and device connectivity.
The Alliance Board expressed their satisfaction about the performance of the
business collaboration, highlighting in particular the innovation and investment
programs that will over-achieve the objectives initially set. The joint
innovation investment program which has been increased from the initial ?100
million funding to ?150 million has allowed Atos and Siemens to develop a pre-
configured analytics platform providing a unique competitive advantage to their
customers to accelerate their digitalization transformation, especially in the
field of smart data.
The Atos-Siemens alliance, founded in 2011, forms one of the largest strategic
relationships ever between a global engineering company and a global IT
provider. Siemens is the largest industrial shareholder and the biggest client
of Atos. Through early engagement and strong collaboration, complementary
offerings and joint investments to create unique solutions, Atos and Siemens
have generated many successful business wins. Atos and Siemens offer joint
services to 130 major customers in various domains: manufacturing,
