Atos in the United Kingdom and Ireland
At Atos, we accelerate intelligence for the organisations that keep Britain moving — from the hospitals treating millions of patients, to the infrastructure securing our national grid, to the government departments that serve every citizen.
With nearly 30 years of engineering heritage in the UK and Ireland, we bring something rare in our industry: the depth of a long-term partner combined with the pace of an AI-native innovator. Our six core strengths — built over three decades and embedded in everything we do — are now the foundation for what comes next.
That next chapter is the Agentic Manifesto. Sovereign by design. Secure by default. Powered by agentic AI that reasons, plans and acts — not just at enterprise scale, but at the scale of the public services and critical infrastructure that British society depends on.
We meet our clients where they are. Whether that is modernising legacy platforms inside a government department, standing up a sovereign cloud for an NHS trust, or deploying AI agents that transform how a utility company manages its network — we take them where they need to go.
Responsible. Secure. Future-ready. That is what Atos means in the UK and Ireland.
Our Holy Trinity
Three capabilities sit at the heart of what makes Atos UK&I different. Anything inside this triangle — sovereign delivery, cyber security, agentic AI — it’s us. Together they form our differentiator in the UK market.
Sovereignty
A Practical Framework for UK Autonomy and Resilience.
For Atos in the UK, sovereignty means having control over your end-to-end technology domain without compromising performance or security. We understand that sovereignty is not a one-size-fits-all solution-it must be tailored, resilient, and future-ready.
Cybersecurity
Our cybersecurity services deliver comprehensive protection.
Powered by cutting-edge AI across your entire business lifecycle, we offer strategic consulting to help you define your security posture, provide intelligent solution integration to implement robust defenses, and deliver continuous AI-powered managed security services through our global network.
Agentic AI
Agentic AI enables a new way to deliver digital services.
Instead of relying primarily on human effort, outcomes are produced through orchestrated teams of AI agents and people. AI handles repeatable, data‑intensive task at speed and scale, while people focus on intent, judgment, escalation, quality and accountability.

Our People
People-first & AI fluent
Markets & Industries
We go beyond general technology expertise — our teams bring deep, sector-specific knowledge built over decades of partnership with the organisations that define British public life and private enterprise.
Our Public Sector practice spans central government, national security, health, defence and citizen services. We hold trusted partner status with some of the UK’s most complex and mission-critical departments, delivering secure, sovereign and data-driven services that enable better outcomes for citizens and government alike.
National Security, Safety & Environment
We are a trusted partner to the MOD, MOJ, Home Office, Defra and the Metropolitan Police — delivering secure, mission-critical IT services across the full national security and civil defence landscape. Our sovereign and cyber-secure delivery model is built to meet the exacting standards these environments demand.
Health, Life Sciences & Citizen Services
We help healthcare organisations align their vision for connected care with secure, integrated solutions. A trusted NHS partner, we bring experience orchestrating digital transformation to enhance patient care and staff experience — including prioritising the New Hospital Programme and Frontline Digitisation as critical areas of focus for the UK.
Our private sector practice combines deep financial services expertise, a market-leading position in critical national infrastructure, and an ambitious new vertical in manufacturing and retail — reflecting where the UK economy is heading and where Atos can create the most distinctive value.
Financial Services & Insurance
As a long-standing partner to UK banks, insurers and capital markets firms, we accelerate digital transformation with secure cloud, data and AI, and cybersecurity. We modernise core platforms and payments infrastructure, enhance customer experience and ensure regulatory compliance — with growing momentum across tier 2 banks in Scotland and beyond.
Critical National Infrastructure
From National Grid and Scottish Water to HS2 and the BBC, we protect and modernise the infrastructure that underpins British society. Our Centre of Excellence for Critical National Infrastructure sits at the core of this practice, bringing together sovereign delivery, OT security and data-driven operational intelligence to keep essential services running reliably.
Manufacturing, Retail & Logistics
Our newest and fastest-growing market vertical. We are helping UK manufacturers and retailers accelerate Industry 4.0 transformation — connecting smart factory solutions, SAP transformation and digital supply chains with the engineering heritage and AI capability that sets Atos apart. This is where we see the greatest untapped opportunity in the UK market.
What makes us different
Six reasons clients in the UK and Ireland choose Atos — and why they stay.
01
Founded in 1997, we have been part of British digital infrastructure through every wave of transformation — from Y2K to cloud, from on-prem to agentic AI.
02
Birmingham is live. Three NHS clients are on our Sovereign Centre today. We are not describing a concept — we are delivering one, with DWP and Scottish Water already on-platform.
03
We secured the Paris 2024 Olympics and 12 previous Games. Secure by design is not an add-on — it is embedded in every solution we deliver to the UK public and private sector.
04
Defra has reported a 27% productivity gain. Satair reduced quotation time from 24 hours to 2 minutes. We are not promising agentic AI — we are deploying it in UK environments today.
05
From mainframe to cloud to apps to digital workplace — Atos can operate at any layer of the technology stack. Clients come to us because we can hold the whole picture.
06
We know NHS procurement, DWP architecture, MOD security requirements, and FSI compliance. Our people have spent careers inside these sectors, not consulting into them.
