“Following the decision from the IOC and Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee to postpone the Tokyo 2020 Games, we will use all our experience and resources to face this unprecedented challenge working with all stakeholders to support this complex rescheduling exercise and deliver successful Games in 2021.”
Michele Hyron
Atos Chief Integrator of the Olympic & Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020
“The International Olympic Committee (IOC), The International Paralympic Committee (IPC), The Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee, The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and The Government of Japan have agreed on new dates for the Games of the XXXII Olympiad.
The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 will be celebrated from July 23 to August 8, 2021. They also agreed on new dates for the Paralympic Games, which will be celebrated from August 24 until September 5, 2021.
As The Worldwide IT Partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, we will adapt to these new dates and fulfill our role in delivering the IT services for both events.”
Reinforcing security at the Olympic Games
Our Advanced Access Control System (AACS), which includes NEC’s facial recognition system as well as Panasonic’s camera equipment, will ensure safe access at over 350 entry points within 43 venues at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, the most innovative Olympic Games in history.
Digital empowerment for the Olympic Games
Moving from a “build each time” to a “build once, use many time” model to help the Olympic Games achieves their Digital Transformation.
The Olympic and Paralympic Games are a complex mix of people, technology and processes. And IT is always at the heart of making the Olympic and Paralympic Games a success.
Beyond the scale and complexity, there is a multi-supplier project with many varied dependencies. All the while, the whole event is highly visible and the world is watching. And when victory can be measured by the smallest of margins, there are no second chances!
The IOC and Atos have embraced digital transformation. We see steep changes in how disruptive technologies can address emerging challenges and make a major impact at the Games for the mobile generation.
The Games are watched across multiple platforms; mobile and online being the most prominent way it is consumed since Rio 2016. This requires a paradigm shift in the IT approach, from a ‘build each time’ to a ‘build once’ model, delivering some critical services over a cloud solution delivered together with other technology partners.
The resulting efficiencies and operating flexibilities make possible a consistent multichannel customer experience – anytime, anyplace, anywhere.
