Atos, an international IT services company, has announced that it has been awarded a new five-year contract with ISS, one of the largest providers of Facility Services.

The announcement follows the decision by ISS to move to Atos. Key factors in appointing Atos as its new UK provider were value for money, increased flexibility, improved resilience and a better user experience.

Mark Brown, IT Director at ISS said: “We chose Atos because we have confidence in their people and their solutions. They demonstrated an excellent knowledge and understanding of our business and presented a standardised cloud solution that has the flexibility to adapt rapidly to changing business requirements while reducing our overall IT costs.”

Atos will manage all IT services and infrastructure for the UK business of ISS. It will implement its cloud solution, Atos Sphere, and its desktop solution, Adaptive Workplace, to migrate all existing services from an on-site data centre to a fully virtualised platform. The new solution will deliver savings from day one while improving flexibility and resilience.
