Atos simplifies its governance to accelerate return to growth
The Group structures its activities
around three distinct Business Lines and four Regions
Paris, February 10th, 2022 – In
the context of a rapidly changing IT market, Atos clarifies its
governance to accelerate transformation cadence, resume its growth
trajectory, optimize economic performance and ultimately create
value for all its stakeholders.
The IT services industry continues to develop
massive areas of opportunities: the digital spend of customers is
rapidly increasing, large digital & transformational customer
deals are driving growth, and partnerships and alliances - notably
with hyperscalers – are becoming more strategic. Against the
backdrop of an intensifying war for talent, Atos evolves its
governance to harness these opportunities and enhance its
commitments to customer- and employee- satisfaction and to drive
revenue growth.
The new governance will be simplified and
structured around 3 Business Lines and 4 Regions,
served by a Commercial Center of Excellence and
Corporate Functions:
Each Business Line will regroup
the activities that fall under the same business model and operate
in the same competitive landscape:
- Tech Foundations bundles Atos’ asset-intensive
activities and will regroup activities reaching maturity such as
Data Centre & Hosting, Digital Workplace, Unified Communication
& Collaboration (UCC) as well as Business Process Outsourcing
(BPO). It will be under the responsibility of Nourdine
Bihmane.
- Digital is a skills & capabilities-driven
service business and will serve Atos’ customers in Digital, Cloud
and Decarbonization and help them succeed in their digital
transformation due to grow substantially. It will be under the
responsibility of Rakesh Khanna.
- Big Data & Security (BDS) is a
high-growth, R&D-intensive business and will focus on
Cybersecurity products & services, High performance & Edge
computing and Mission critical systems, under the continued
responsibility of Pierre Barnabé.
The four Regions will have
ownership of accounts, regional resources and full P&L, in
order to ensure optimal customer centricity and accelerated
operational cadence:
- Northern Europe & APAC, under the responsibility of Adrian
Gregory
- Central Europe, under the responsibility of Clay van Doren
- Southern Europe, under the continued responsibility of Yannick
Tricaud
- And the Americas, including North and South America, under the
continued responsibility of Dave Seybold
To optimize Atos’ unwavering commitment to
customer centricity the Group has adjusted the approach by
Industries:
- those that are more local in nature or in practice (Public
Sector & Defense, Manufacturing and Resources & Services)
will be redeployed across the Regions,
- while those Industries with global relevance and homogeneity
(Financial Services & Insurance, Tech, Media & Telecom,
Healthcare & Life Sciences) are maintained at Group level (as
part of a newly global created Commercial Center of
Excellence).
The newly created role of Chief
Commercial Officer (CCO) is a Center of Excellence that
will drive standardized best practices across the organization,
focus on large global sales customers, sales operations, alliances,
partnerships and industry approach.
The managerial governance of the
company will be streamlined in order to enhance
collegiality and to accelerate decision-making and accountability.
It will be structured around a newly created Executive Board of 12
members.
Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of Atos,
comments: “The new governance we announce today is designed as a
key enabler of the Group’s turnaround and represents a key step in
the rebound of the Group. I am convinced that Atos has all assets
at hand to get back on track, and first and foremost its highly
dedicated and talented people around the world. The Group holds
leading positions in cyber security, high-performance computing,
cloud, decarbonization and digital transformation which are the
growth engines of today and tomorrow.
This simplified Group governance around three
Business Lines and four Regions is the first step of our turnaround
plan, as it is designed to accelerate the business cadence and
transformation pace of the company. The single primary go-to-market
axis for customer and P&L ownership will allow us to
concentrate on business outcomes at the account level, and raise
speed of decision-making for customer acquisition, experience, and
retention. The clear focus on three distinct business lines will
maximize their economic performance and value creation. The
enhanced attention on large customers & tectonic hyperscalers,
empowered centers of excellence to drive standardized best
practices across the organization as well as a tightened executive
committee further concur to the increase of accountability and
speed of decision-making.
Thanks to this evolution of the Group
governance, we will build an empowered and action-oriented
workforce to foster a customer-centric culture focusing on superior
understanding of clients’ needs and the highest standards of
customer satisfaction.”
