Key Findings & Highlights:
Atos is a France-headquartered IT services provider, with global delivery across infrastructure, cloud, digital workplace, and applications, and a significant QE practice.
While the company faced challenges in recent years, including high debt levels, operational underperformance, and management turnover, it has now reached significant stability with a new leadership team, committed investments in R&D, and a restructuring agreement that has allowed Atos to reset expectations and launch a new four-year turnaround plan, branded “Genesis”.
Digital Assurance is one of Atos’ largest horizontal practices, with approximately 8.7k professionals delivering independent and integrated QE services. The practice operates both as a shared service in agile delivery environments and through standalone testing engagements, supporting ~200 clients. Key industries of focus include banking, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing, public sector, and telecom.
Over the past decade, Atos has transitioned from traditional manual testing towards integrated QE, where quality engineers work as part of scrum teams and align testing outcomes with business metrics. Independent testing teams are increasingly focused on lifecycle automation, non-functional testing, and AI-driven accelerators.
Large enterprises, especially those based in Europe, looking for an evolved AI-driven offering portfolio should consider this vendor.
