Three-year agreement kicks-off with initiative to

education sector
Rome, (Italy), Paris, (France) - May 17,
2022
Sparkle, the first international service
provider in Italy and among the top global operators, and Atos, a
global leader in digital transformation, today announce a
three-year agreement to address the growing demand from clients in
European and other adjacent countries for cloud services and
solutions. The partnership aims to develop business opportunities
endorsing the global presence and the specific competence area of
each company.
Sparkle and Atos’ collaboration kicks off with
the Open Clouds for Research Environments (OCRE),
an initiative that aims to accelerate the digitalization of
European universities and research centers and the adoption of
cloud systems, in which Sparkle is an official cloud framework
provider and Google Cloud integrator in 27 European countries. As
part of the agreement, Atos will support Sparkle in providing
professional, consulting and system integration services to the
research and education community in France, Belgium, United
Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Turkey, and Portugal with other
countries to be added soon.
Beyond OCRE, Atos and Sparkle will also work
together on public and private projects, leveraging their synergies
in fixed, 5G, IoT and security services. The two companies will
also target the sport and event market – in which Atos has a long
experience, as the Worldwide IT Partner of the International
Olympic Committee – to build an end-to-end offering, from
infrastructure management to supporting major events.
“We are glad to partner with Atos. Putting
together our expertise in cloud and digital services, we aim to
further promote our offering which has already been successfully
adopted by leading European universities and institutions, to the
wider education and research community”, said Elisabetta
Romano, CEO of Sparkle. “This partnership will also
strengthen our ability to provide digital services to customers
across various industries and ultimately broaden our horizons".
"We are delighted to collaborate with Sparkle,
and that our collaboration begins with a key project for education
and research institutions in Europe. Digital transformation plays a
central role in the overall economic and social development. In
this context, Atos brings its cloud expertise to support private
and public organizations to effectively manage the digital
challenges of tomorrow”, said Jean-Claude Geha, Head of
Telecommunications, Media and Technology at Atos.
