Atos Recognized as a Leader in Operational Transformation Through Generative AI
The French IT services group has been ranked as a leader across all four segments analyzed by NelsonHall in its NEAT 2025 study on business operations transformation with generative AI, according to the company's press release.
Comprehensive Leadership in Generative AI
Atos has been recognized as a leader in the four categories assessed by NelsonHall, as per the December 19 announcement. The analysis firm particularly highlights the group's strengths in developing custom generative AI solutions, understanding generative AI requirements, supporting customer interactions, and delivering business process services. Mike Smart, a senior operational transformation analyst at NelsonHall, pointed out that Atos is among the providers actively offering image generation solutions in production environments. The NEAT evaluation, which ranks providers based on their ability to deliver immediate benefits and support future innovation journeys, positions Atos alongside other market leaders, high performers, innovators, or major players.
Advancements in Generative AI Applications
The group has developed over 800 use cases for generative AI, with a priority focus on the finance, industry, healthcare, and public sectors. The company relies on its Atos Polaris AI Platform, launched in 2025, described as a cloud-independent and language model-independent framework. This platform aims to accelerate the design and implementation of generative AI solutions, autonomous AI agents, and industrial agentive solutions, the press release specifies. Atos also highlights its hosting flexibility, made possible by its BullSequana server range, which supports training and inference of models at the edge or within data centers. The group's generative AI accelerator program, launched at the end of 2023, offers end-to-end consulting, horizontal and vertical solutions, as well as a modular set of accelerators.
Strategic Focus on Generative AI Adoption
According to the press release, Atos aims to train 100% of its employees in generative AI by the end of 2025. The group is steering its business strategy towards large-scale transformation contracts that leverage industrial solutions and business and technological consulting to identify opportunities for adopting generative AI. The company is expanding its business through partnerships with technology players such as Azure, AWS, GCP, SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Databricks, Snowflake, and ESRI, the company states. In terms of security, Atos specifies that it has 17 security operations centers and a team of 6,500 cybersecurity professionals to ensure the protection of generative AI applications. The group, which employs nearly 67,000 people and generates an annual turnover of nearly 10 billion euros, operates in 61 countries under the Atos brand for services and Eviden for products.
