Atos Origin has been closely involved in providing development and support services to Euronext for a number of years.
In July 2000, Euronext and Atos Origin joined forces to create AtosEuronext, a 50/50 joint venture to manage the IT operations of Euronext in Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels, and to offer capital market services on a global basis. The joint venture has been successful in broadening the base of its services externally and helping Euronext to further improve its cost efficiency.
In July 2005, Atos Origin announced a major expansion of AtosEuronext, Europe's leading cross-border exchange business. The extended venture is called Atos Euronext Market Solutions (AEMS), a new company formed by the two parties to which additional activities have been contributed. These include the provision of services by Atos Origin to Euronext.liffe in London, thereby creating a leading provider of technology services to capital markets globally.
