Under the new contract, Atos will provide a number of services including data center and network services, SAP hosting and server capacity to the DEUTZ AG.
”We were particularly impressed by the comprehensive service package of Atos. All our requests will in the future be fulfilled exceedingly and our IT can thus react quickly and flexibly to market developments,” says Dr. Margarete Haase, member of the board of the DEUTZ AG responsible for Finance, HR, Public and Investor Relations.
