Atos to acquire Siemens Convergence Creators
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Paris, October 2, 2017 - Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, today
announces its project to acquire Siemens Convergence Creators GmbH (CVC), a
global multi-industry digital transformation solutions provider, headquartered
in Vienna. With its highly skilled engineers and a total headcount of
approximately 800 staff, CVC delivers software based solutions in the fields of
communication networks, service and customer management, public safety and
security, multimedia infotainment, as well as space technology.
CVC was initially an internal innovative R&D and solutions partner for multiple
Siemens Business Units (BUs). In 2016, Siemens completed its carve out as an
independent Siemens BU with it's own IP resources and an external customer
strategy.
Focused on innovative R&D and turnkey solutions, CVC would accelerate Atos'
technology leap, bringing specific software and hardware IP assets notably to
enlarge its cybersecurity and communication solutions. These combined offerings
would strengthen Atos' credentials and ability to deliver the latest mission-
critical systems and secured networks while increasing Atos' penetration in the
Telco market and enable access to high-growth markets such as satellite and
civil airplane manufacturers and operators.
CVC presence in Germany, the US, and Central and Eastern Europe (with delivery
centres in Croatia and Romania providing digital expertise), together with its
powerful network of partners, would offer Atos a strong basis for activities all
over the world.
The transaction is expected to close end of December 2017 and is subject to
information / consultation by employee representative's bodies' as well as the
approvals of the regulatory and antitrust authorities.
