Launch of Atos Codex to help companies unlock the value of their data

Paris, 07 April 2016 – Atos, an international leader in digital services, today launched its fully integrated business-driven analytics solution – Atos Codex. According to Gartner, “by 2017, organizations using predictive business performance metrics will increase their profitability by 20%”. Atos Codex provides data analytics end-to-end along the complete IT value chain. The services range from digital transformation strategy & consulting, use case business modeling, data science expertise, agile analytics deployment and ongoing evolution management.

Ursula Morgenstern, Head of Global Consulting and Systems Integration at Atos, said: “Data is the new black gold that is fuelling the digital revolution – but as oil, data is useless in its natural format and needs to be refined. Atos Codex offers organizations fast and cost efficient means to exploit the value of their existing data. With our proof of value approach we demonstrated in various pilots that the actual business value can be monetized quickly within weeks through our out of the box consulting and platform approach. In the digital era, smart use of data analytics is a competitive differentiator and we believe that with Atos Codex, we can help organizations stay one step ahead and become disrupters rather than being disrupted.” 

Atos was named a Visionary in the Magic Quadrant Business Analytics Services, Worldwide in September 2015 by Gartner. Atos believes that this is mainly due to the combination of Atos Codex platform being expanded with in-memory and big data appliances as well as Atos acting as an industrial transformation partner in Internet of Things (IoT) for operations intelligence, especially in manufacturing.

Atos Codex is based on a year-long cooperation with strategic partners, most notably Siemens. As part of this cooperation Atos and Siemens developed a joint advanced analytics platform architecture called Sinalytics. The scalable, pre-assembled and orchestrated platform has been designed from the ground up to be modular and vendor-agnostic, with a workflow-based approach to run in tandem with existing procedures. Close attention has been paid to security, data integrity and compliance with the various regulatory and legal requirements across Europe.

The Atos company Worldline, the European leader in the payments and transactional services industry is also using the analytical services within its BPO business model.
