Paris, December 13, 2018

Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, has been named a Leader by global analyst firm Forrester in The Forrester Wave(TM): Global IoT Services For Connected Business Operations, Q4 2018^[1]. We believe this makes Atos a good choice for companies looking for effective IoT services to grow their connected business operations.

According to the research, IoT is inextricably linked to organizations' broader digital transformation efforts: 59% of global services decision makers at enterprises are investing or planning to invest in IoT solutions to underpin their firm's digital transformations - ingesting information and context through sensors from the physical world and taking actions based on digital insights.

Forrester's report identifies and evaluates 14 of the most significant IoT services providers according to 27 evaluation criteria, based on the strength of their current offering, strategy and market presence.

Atos offers Atos Codex IoT Services, a comprehensive set of IoT applications, blueprints, platforms, and business services, as well as development, hosting, and integration services on both its own and on partner platforms, in particular on Siemens MindSphere. Atos has been one of the first partners to enter the MindSphere ecosystem by developing an approach to Manufacturing IoT exploitation and leveraging Atos and Siemens combined expertise in Machine Intelligence.

Atos' broad IoT offering also includes ready-to-use vertical solutions from Worldline and IoT Security solutions.
