Atos Origin was one of the pioneers of Global Sourcing in Europe. We have built a strong track record for large transformational engagements and have successfully applied globally sourced services to our proven “Design-Build-Operate” approach.
By combining our industry and domain expertise with our proven offshore performance and scalability, we can continuously deliver improved business value to our clients.
We offer a complete range of development and application management services from single application and lifecycle management, to application portfolio management, application portfolio rationalization and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO).
Our strategy focuses on delivering consistent services irrespective of location, providing a clear governance structure, and increasing our overall delivery capability where it generates the best return. Our staff around the globe works in centers assessed up to CMMi Level 5.
Their common delivery model is founded on global processes compliant to industry standards and best practices like ITIL.
Our Global Sourcing approach is built on intimacy, transparency, and flexibility. We design, deliver and operate solutions that not only leverage our extensive industry know-how and customer intimacy, but also our experience in managing efficient offshore and near-shore operations.
We consistently apply our proven global governance model that includes responsive local touch points. This provides end-to-end transparency and flexibility that caters to our clients’ evolving sourcing needs in terms of scope, footprint, and service portfolio.
Our client centric focus encompasses commitments and accessibility right up to and including Management Board level. We tailor our solutions to individual client objectives such as sustainable TCO reduction, service consistency and increased responsiveness across a global footprint, highly scalable services, and business continuity.
Our experience has shown that global sourcing can bring considerable and tangible benefits including:
Sustainable reduction of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
- Cost savings between 20% and 50%
- Innovative models for flexible delivery supported by variable pricing
Flexible Delivery Capabilities
- Access and harness our broad variety of skills and capabilities from all over the globe
- Efficient adjustment of sourcing portfolio depending on client needs
Rigorous Quality as standard
- Commitment to excellence and continuous improvement
- Adherence to industry best practices and standards
Our multi-continent footprint allow us to provide best-fit assets according to unique customer needs and requirements wherever they are in the world, bringing online the skills of geographically dispersed teams, seamlessly integrating them into the workflow, and maximizing the performance of each component. The global infrastructure is secure, reliable, and efficient to support the various aspects of the distributed effort.
Quality is essential in a Global Sourcing environment; uncertified developers may have defect rates as high as 20-30%, while certified providers can achieve accuracy rates as high as 97-99%. Our value proposition is based on the fundamental principles of quality and continuous improvement.
The key standards and industry best practices we have introduced and apply include ISO 9001:2000, SEI Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI), and ITIL. These have ensured consistent maturity throughout the entire delivery chain and all are provided under a secure infrastructure. Since deploying industry certifications we have been able to increase our productivity and reduce defect rates, which ultimately have a direct impact on our clients’ TCO.
Independent assessment organizations support this claim and confirm Atos Origin as a leader in deploying European SEI CMM (Software Engineering Institute Capability Maturity Model) capabilities.
