What Atos' technology for the Games can mean to businesses

As the countdown continues for the Nanjing 2014 YOG, Atos Business Technologists are busy making final preparations for the technology behind the Games that supports athletes, spectators, officials, volunteers and media from all over the world. Driven by a common goal to accelerate progress by uniting people, business and technology, they are also acutely aware that there is no second chances for achieving success with the whole world watching.

From their base in Nanjing, our Business Technologists are ultimately responsible for the entire IT infrastructure of the YOG, with focus on two IT areas - Games Management Systems and the Games Information Systems. Both are vital to the success of the Games.

Just as our Business Technologists are focused on powering performance for the upcoming YOG and other international sporting events, they are equally committed to helping businesses create their firm of the future and change the game with well-honed expertise and a range of solutions and services designed to optimize business processes including:

Cloud

Social Collaboration

With so much data requiring attention, it is crucial the really important messages get through and are not ‘lost’ in the system. Using collaborative tools to manage, monitor and share information, we help organizations and the Olympic and Paralympic Games overcome these challenges.

We do the same for our clients all over the world:

Based on our own experience, we have created an approach that will help transform the way employees communicate and collaborate. The offering combines our long history and expertise in consulting with international enterprises and national bodies, implementing leading-edge technologies, and running business processes in a secure environment. We work in partnership with our clients, defining their ideal ‘to be’ environment and crafting the building blocks of change that suit them.

Mobility

The rise of mobility will accelerate further. More rich, real-time content needs to be available on an anytime, anywhere, any device basis.

We do the same for our clients all over the world:
Today, with billions of smartphones and other smart devices in use around the world, it requires simplifying, unifying and revolutionizing the end-user experience.

We have deep rooted understanding of mobility, security, content management and managed services. Having the solutions and the people to enable our clients to implement mobility - cutting costs, raising productivity yet maintaining security.

Big Data

For the Games, we deliver accurate data and intelligence to media organizations, broadcasters and viewers on a massive scale: simplified, even page ready - and they don't even have to be at the event venue to access it!

We do the same for our clients all over the world:

We can put data to use intelligently for their organization - giving greater insight, enabling better decision making and improving competitive advantage. 


We ensure that thousands of people across our clients’ organizations have the precise data they need – at the very second that they need it, to ensure that they are the masters of their own data, rather than the other way around.
