Atos and IBM have announced plans to further expand their global relationship to help banks and insurance companies address their increased security and regulatory compliance demands when moving their workloads and applications to the cloud. Atos and IBM intend to support financial services clients through the creation of a new Atos Cloud Center of Excellence.
Adrian Gregory, SEVP, Global Head of Financial Services & Insurance, Atos, said, “Banks and insurance companies are moving their applications to the Cloud at speed – with the pandemic providing sharp focus to digitalize businesses in response to changing customer and market trends – this sense of urgency must be matched with determination to select the right partner to unlock long-term opportunities. By combining the power of Atos OneCloud with the IBM Cloud for Financial Services, together we can play a pivotal role in supporting financial services organisations on their transformations, helping them to address their security, compliance and resiliency challenges.”
Howard Boville, Head of IBM Cloud Platform, said, “As financial institutions seek to modernize and harness the power of hybrid cloud and AI, the need for security and compliance across all platforms is paramount. IBM Cloud for Financial Services aims to address the risks the industry is facing with built-in controls focused on the regulatory barriers that have historically impeded digital transformation. The new Atos Cloud Center of Excellence will combine IBM’s hybrid cloud and AI solutions with Atos’ industry experts trained and certified for those solutions, as well as automation capabilities to accelerate innovation throughout the industry without sacrificing security.”
Atos and IBM announced the expansion of their global relationship in January 2021 with the intent to help clients accelerate their digital transformation efforts with hybrid cloud and industry-specific automation solutions.
