Agility, security and productivity

The distinction between white and blue collars in the workplace is disappearing. Truck drivers and shop-floor workers today use IT-enabled productivity tools that are more powerful than those of the CFO of less than ten years ago.

In a world in which everybody is becoming a knowledge worker, how can you make sure your employees are equipped with the tools they need to work collaboratively, securely and productively?

The Atos Adaptive Workplace could be the answer. It’s the result of our experience of serving 2.5 million professionals worldwide – always with an eye on agility and always mindful of the need to contain cost.

Gartner recognizes our stature as a company that understands the future needs of the enterprise end user, positioning us firmly in its 2011 “leader quadrant” for European desktop outsourcing.

The sooner you start to think about enabling collaborative productivity with the Adaptive Workplace, the sooner your workforce will begin to benefit.

Your business technologists.

Powering progress.

Applying the 80/20 principle

The Atos Adaptive Workplace applies the 80/20 principle. With over 400 major workplace implementations worldwide, we have learned that across all sectors, around 80% of all core workplace functions are common.

For that reason, we take these and industrialize to the max, driving out cost and applying industry best practice to every aspect of planning, provisioning and support.

This leaves us free to apply our industry-specific skills and expertise to the 20% that makes your business special. 

The results speak for themselves:

• Typically we can run core workplace services for at least 20% less than in-house or more traditional service providers
• We can drive down mobile telecommunications costs by as much as 80%, through the standardized adoption of unified communications
• We can accelerate the speed with which new hires take a useful place in the organization
• We can significantly improve the efficiency of standardization following merger and acquisition

Workplace-as-a-Service

Many of your business functions are already delivered “as-a-service”. Isn’t it time the workplace was, too?

The way in which people work is undergoing massive change. Mobility becomes a key requirement and a population used to digital sophistication in their private lives has certainly come to expect the same in their working lives.

The Atos Adaptive Workplace delivers on choice, allowing enterprises to offer workplace-as-a-service with real versatility – right down to bring-your-own, if desired.

It’s not just about technology models however – the Adaptive Workplace is also about how your organization works commercially and culturally.

Our goal will always be to deliver genuinely on-demand service, with all the associated benefits of scalability and agility. It’s going to mean breaking the three-year technology refresh cycle too, as your enterprise workplace is continually kept up to date with emerging trends and technologies.

Choice

Atos is vendor-independent, and has agile strategic partnerships with the leading players in workplace technology, including Cisco, Citrix, EMC, Intel, Microsoft and VMware.

But our most important partnership is always with you – the client – helping determine the environment which best suits your business and the individual professional profiles of your employees.
