Atos achieves first technology milestone with Volunteer Portal for
Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024
Press Release
Key platform to recruit and bring together 45,000
volunteers
Paris, France
– March
24,
2023 - Atos
today announces its successful management of the Volunteer Portal
for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024, the online
platform which enables candidates to volunteer and get involved to
make Paris 2024 an unforgettable event. Based on the figures from
previous editions, the Organizing Committee is expected to mobilize
45,000 volunteers.
With only 16 months to go before the Olympic
Games Paris 2024, the launch of the portal is a reminder to sports
fans of the imminence of the Olympic Games and is a first concrete
and publicly visible illustration of Atos' commitment to provide
secure, connected and accessible technological solutions for this
major event. Behind the scenes, Atos teams have been working with
Paris 2024 and driving the critical IT ecosystem behind the
upcoming Olympic Games for 3 years now and are more ready than ever
for the next steps.
Bringing Paris
2024 to life
The portal supports the volunteer recruitment,
selection and administration process – from matching skills to
specific roles and regular communication on the progress of
applications, to sending out interview invitations and sharing the
events programme for those selected, as well as providing access to
their accreditation.
Open to all, the volunteer portal needs to meet
the highest expectations in terms of performance, accessibility and
security while guaranteeing the protection of personal data, which
is hosted in France. As an actor committed to building a sovereign
environment, Atos provides Paris 2024 with solutions to secure data
privacy and data sovereignty. The portal is part of the Olympic
Management System (OMS) application suite from Atos, which also
includes sport entries and qualifications, accreditations,
workforce management and competition schedule.
Atos' commitment to
making Paris 2024 a success
As the Worldwide IT Partner of the Olympic Games
for more than 20 years, Atos is supporting Paris 2024 with a solid
technological expertise and in-depth knowledge of the global sports
ecosystem. Invisible but essential, the Atos team takes on the
challenge of orchestrating the IT for the Olympic and Paralympic
Games Paris 2024, providing innovative digital solutions to meet
the high expectations of athletes, broadcasters, media, volunteers
and fans around the world.
With the Volunteer Portal, Atos is entering the
last mile of the delivery of the Olympic and Paralympic Games IT
system with a rich agenda over the weeks and months to
come. 2023 will be marked by the beginning of a large
series of tests. Up to
250,000 hours of
testing will be performed in total until the start of the
competitions in order to ensure the reliability of the system that
Atos teams have been developing for years.
“The opening of the volunteer portal is a key
milestone, one that symbolizes the sense of hospitality and values
of sharing with participants from around the world. We have been
working hand-in-hand with the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee to
ensure that the portal gives tens of thousands of people the
opportunity to have their part in the running of the Olympic Games
and to be part of the Olympic dream,” said Patrick
Adiba, CEO Major Events
at Atos. “Atos teams and partners are working
daily to prepare for the Olympic Games and look forward to the many
technology milestones on the road to Paris 2024!”
“In 2024, there will be 45,000 volunteers to
welcome the world at our side. The challenge is high and starts
right now with Atos. The volunteer portal is the first touchpoint
with the thousands of candidates who will apply to be part of Paris
2024 behind the scenes” said Alexandre
Morenon-Condé, deputy director for HR
planning and operations at Paris 2024.
The Paris 2024 volunteer program is open to all,
both in France and internationally, and there are only three
conditions to apply: applicants must be over 18 years old on 1
January 2024, speak at least French or English, and be available
for at least 10 days during the Olympic and/or the Paralympic
Games.
