Elevating Cloud Expertise
How Atos and AWS are building the future of enterprise transformation
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, cybersecurity threats are becoming more sophisticated, regulations around data sovereignty continue to evolve, and organizations are under constant pressure to modernize their IT environments.
While cloud technologies offer enormous opportunities, realizing their full value depends on one critical factor: having access to the right expertise.
That’s why Atos continues to invest in enhancing the skills of its global workforce. The company’s inaugural AWS Elevate Days event is the latest example of this commitment. While this started off as an internal training initiative, it represents an investment in capabilities that can help our customers accelerate transformation, reduce risk and confidently adopt the latest AWS innovations.
The first AWS Elevate Days was held on June 25, 2026 and brought together more than 5,000 Atos registrants from 50 countries, with over 2,000 employees participating live across 14 sessions led by 33 AWS and Atos experts. Together, they explored the three strategic Atos pillars that are shaping enterprise transformation today — agentic AI, cybersecurity and digital sovereignty, as well as cloud modernization.
For clients, the significance extends far beyond the event itself.
Learning leads to better client outcomes
Technology evolves rapidly. New AWS services, AI capabilities and security features are introduced continuously, creating tremendous opportunities, but also increasing complexity.
By investing in continuous AWS enablement and certification, Atos ensures customers have access to consultants whose knowledge evolves alongside the technology. AWS Elevate Days was designed to strengthen that expertise through technical and business sessions delivered jointly by AWS and Atos specialists. Participants gained practical insights into emerging technologies, customer use cases and AWS best practices while preparing for AWS certifications, including complimentary AWS AI Practitioner and other certification vouchers for eligible attendees.
For clients working with Atos and AWS, this translates into tangible business value:
Access to a larger global community of AWS-trained and AWS-certified experts
Faster project delivery, supported by consultants who share a common understanding of AWS services and best practices
Reduced implementation risk, thanks to validated technical expertise
Better architectural guidance for cloud modernization and migration initiatives
Greater confidence when adopting emerging technologies such as Agentic AI
Stronger governance and security throughout cloud transformation projects
In short, investing in people ultimately means delivering better outcomes for our clients.
Helping enterprises adopt Agentic AI with confidence
Many organizations are moving beyond AI experimentation and exploring how intelligent agents can automate business processes, support decision-making and improve customer experiences. However, successful AI adoption requires more than technology. It requires specialists who understand how to design secure, responsible, and scalable AI solutions.
Agentic AI was one of the core themes of the AWS Elevate Days event because it represents one of the fastest-growing areas of innovation for enterprise organizations. By expanding its expertise in AWS AI services, Atos is better positioned to help customers identify high-value use cases, automate repetitive and complex tasks, improve operational efficiency and augment employees with intelligent assistants that enhance human decision-making.
As AI technologies continue to evolve, continuous learning ensures Atos experts remain equipped to guide clients from experimentation to production with confidence.
Secure and sovereign cloud transformation
As organizations accelerate their cloud journeys, they must also address increasingly complex regulatory requirements, data residency obligations and cybersecurity risks. Digital sovereignty and cybersecurity were two of the three key pillars of AWS Elevate Days.
For clients operating in regulated industries, digital sovereignty is becoming a strategic business requirement rather than simply a compliance exercise. Through its sovereign cloud expertise and collaboration with AWS, Atos helps organizations design cloud environments that balance innovation with governance, regulatory compliance and operational resilience.
Security remains equally critical.
The event highlighted how Eviden, the Cybersecurity product and portfolio Atos Group company, continues to strengthen cloud security through advanced data protection, encryption and key management capabilities that integrate with AWS European Sovereign Cloud initiatives. Expanding these skills across the organization enables customers to benefit from cloud architectures where security is embedded from the outset, reducing risk while supporting business growth.
Ultimately, customers gain access to specialists who understand not only AWS technologies but also the governance, resilience, and security frameworks required for enterprise transformation.
Modernization through AWS expertise
Cloud modernization is no longer simply about migrating workloads. Organizations are looking to modernize applications, simplify operations, reduce technical debt and build platforms capable of supporting future innovation. This event helped strengthen Atos expertise across AWS modernization services and best practices, enabling consultants to better support customers throughout every stage of their cloud transformation journey.
Whether organizations are modernizing legacy applications, adopting cloud-native architectures or integrating AI into existing environments, customers benefit from teams that combine AWS technical knowledge with Atos’s industry experience and consulting capabilities. This continuous investment in skills helps organizations innovate faster while reducing the complexity often associated with large-scale transformation programs.
Learning from the best for greater value
One of the strengths of AWS Elevate Days was its collaborative approach.
Across 14 sessions, AWS and Atos specialists shared practical knowledge, real-world experience and the latest innovations across the AWS portfolio. Participants were encouraged not only to deepen their technical expertise but also to continue their professional development through AWS certifications. The overwhelmingly positive feedback demonstrates the value of this investment in learning.
Here are some snippets of amazing feedback we received from the participants.
The trainers were very well versed in their respective topics and sessions, and they were very professional. The course was explained in a very easy manner
The idea of presenting it from the bottom up was very helpful. Not only to learn but also to organize the knowledge you already have.
Learned new technologies and services; met my expectations of this day!
Every new certification and every newly acquired skill strengthens the expertise available to customers embarking on their own cloud transformation journeys.
A long-term investment in client success
AWS Elevate Days is not a one-time event; it is part of Atos’s broader commitment to continuous learning and technical excellence. Planning has already begun for the next AWS Elevate Days, scheduled for April 2027, building on the success and lessons learned from this first edition.
As cloud technologies continue to evolve, so will the expectations placed on technology partners. By continuously investing in AWS training, certifications and emerging technologies, Atos is ensuring clients have access to experts who can help them innovate faster, strengthen cybersecurity, navigate digital sovereignty requirements and unlock the full potential of AI on AWS.
