Trends Atos anticipates

Atos is witnessing a significant shift in attitudes to new technology practice in oil and gas. Whether it’s embracing cloud as a means of reducing cost and increasing agility, or public cloud services, something that would have been inconceivable, even five years ago. Industry 4.0 is driving significant change in manufacturing and is inevitably set to positively impact the oil & gas sector too. The new wave of digital transformation will be driven by data analytics, and Atos has made corresponding investments in Atos Codex, for end-to-end analytics platform.
