We help CIOs and CEOs address the toughest issues with IT in business

Global connectivity has fundamentally changed the way in which IT serves business and government need. Web based service models will be ubiquitous driving greater agility in decision making, increased commoditisation and wider application of IT shared services, increased exploitation of Web2.0 services and more open innovation and collaboration models.

This change demands new approaches to governance and architecture to effectively balance the inherent complexity and opportunity mass-connectivity brings.

Our Expertise

Atos Consulting helps you to make decisions about strategy and operations (and as appropriate execute them) where the answers require an all-round view of the external factors, the business model, people and IT. We help you tackle the toughest issues, where the options are finely balanced or where solutions are not so obvious, nor readily available. 

We are also experts in the adoption of new ways of provisioning business-IT services, helping you make the right decisions to typically maximise value, agility, flexibility, cost effectiveness or business growth. Our services are tailored to address the specific issue within your context. Typical commissions include:

• IS Advisory: Ensuring Business and IT function together, delivering what the business really needs in a way that is more reactive, agile and innovative. Helping to clarify your options where there are difficult decisions with no clear best options. 
• IS Strategy: Making sure those changes in deployment of resources, individual and collective behaviour will deliver what is required to meet business needs. Understanding which technologies should we be pursued. Ensuring individual decisions are consistent with delivering our business benefits. 
• Enterprise Architecture: Ensuring that a small change to the business is always a small change to the systems that support it and that IT programmes deliver and do not disappoint. Being more responsive to delivering change.
• Mergers and Acquisitions: Rationalising the IT provision when you have two sets of technologies across the organisation. Developing an IS Strategy whilst your overall Business Strategy is still being formulated. Carrying out integration without impacting on our on-going capabilities and determining how to introduce innovation.
• Cloud adoption/strategy assessment: Understanding how your organisation can benefit from adopting Cloud technology, which Cloud models and how you can leverage the Cloud technologies and services available on the market.
