Siemens and Atos demonstrate importance of their Global Alliance during visit by
German Chancellor and French President to French-German Digital Conference on
27(th) October, 2015 in Paris
Franco-German business collaboration accelerating digital transformation
At the French-German Digital Conference, today, in Paris, Atos and Siemens
reiterated the importance of their global strategic alliance. During a visit to
the conference by Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, and François Hollande,
President of the French Republic, Atos and Siemens presented digital solutions
that they have developed together for digital remote service, Internet of Things
and Cyber Security. These are all necessary for Industry 4.0 - helping customers
to transform their business through the use of digital technologies.
Commenting during the conference, Thierry Breton, Chairman and CEO of Atos said:
"Today's conference underlines the importance of Franco-German business
collaboration in the digital age. Our Alliance with Siemens was born five years
ago with a clear ambition - from Day one - to create a European champion of the
Digital era. Every day, our 100.000 engineers cooperate with Siemens businesses
in advanced data analytics, cyber security, cloud computing services and
Internet of things, and demonstrate the state-of-the-art capabilities that such
an exceptional French-German Alliance can create and that we can bring to our
markets and clients."
According to Christophe de Maistre, CEO of Siemens France : "The visit paid by
Chancellor Merkel and President Hollande to our joint Atos-Siemens booth pays
tribute to the role model played by our alliance in terms of digital
transformation of the German and French economies."
Atos and Siemens were two of a few companies invited to showcase their solutions
at the conference, which was attended by 400 Franco-German companies. The theme
of the conference was "Accelerating the digital transformation of our economies"
and covered three topics. Firstly, the digital transformation of the
manufacturing industry; secondly, connections between French and German start up
ecosystems and their relations with big companies and thirdly how France and
Germany contribute to European digital strategy.
In 2011, Atos and Siemens formed a strategic alliance, the largest such
relationship ever between a global engineering company and a global IT provider
between a French and a German company. Supported by a joint investment fund of
?150 million, the alliance focuses on innovative solution areas, such as
advanced data analytics, cyber security and device connectivity.
The partnership has been beneficial for both Companies and their clients.
Together, they now provide joint services to 130 major customers worldwide in
manufacturing, transportation and energy & utilities and their technology
developments have been recognized by industry experts. For example, Atos was
recently named a Visionary in Business Analytics Services by Gartner thanks in a
large part to the pre-configured analytics platform developed by the two
companies. The platform can be reused for a range of data analytic services,
which means the most common proofs of concepts can be developed within a week
and business value is typically proven within 4-6 weeks.
