Key Findings & Highlights:
Atos conceptualizes solutions under its Ecosystem Platforms framework – digital platforms that combine technologies to build ecosystems – that create value through ecosystem participant collaboration. The company believes that at the core of any data proposition for ecosystems is blockchain; it fully unlocks the potential of Ecosystem Platforms by combining emerging technologies like IoT, data analytics, and AI.
Atos typically develops reusable blocks – components that exist across many use cases, instead of platform (use case) accelerators. In 2020, however, Atos announced Atos Vote, a blockchain-enabled commercial-off-the-shelf product.
In addition to its commercial endeavors, Atos operates Atos Research Institute (ARI), which focuses on conducting R&D projects for non-commercial initiatives, e.g., for the European Commission. Although ARI does not engage in commercial projects, it produces assets that can later contribute to them.
Atos has retained its traditional delivery models for both consulting and technology deployment. It sees blockchain as a technological solution to business challenges instead of a unique technology that requires new thinking in design and deployment.
Atos does not target any particular organizational size but develops its portfolio and fundaments to service its clients broadly.
