Atos Origin has exceeded our expectations in almost every area of this journey to date. This is clearly a long-term relationship planned for at least five years and constantly evolving. Atos Origin's level of commitment has shown that the focus is on building that long-term relationship whilst also delivering business requirements and benefits here and now. This is how a truly successful strategic sourcing partnership should be." James Rennie, CTO, Electrocomponents

Business Challenges

Electrocomponents was well aware that urgent investment in IT infrastructure was required to create a solid foundation for delivering a large scale change programme, including common ERP implementations, across the group. Rather than be distracted from their core trading and change programme activities, the company decided to outsource all their desktop IT transformation and ongoing requirements.

Solution

Electrocomponents chose Atos Origin and Atos™ Workplace Solutions to deliver fast and flexible transformation across the company's global desktop estate.  The multi-lingual support, global applicability and almost zero-touch model provided by Atos™ Workplace Solutions, in parallel with Electrocomponents' drive and determination, provided the foundation for an extremely effective partnership that continues to accrue benefits for the business and its internal customers.

Benefits

The integrated benefits Atos™ Workplace Solutions has so far delivered to Electrocomponents are:

• A successful on-time rollout to 2,000 internal clients in conjunction with a fully resilient back-end infrastructure utilising all new hardware, in just 85 days.
• 70% reduction in the number of applications used globally.
• Global rollout of an additional 2,600 clients completed in 10 months from start to finish.
• Solution scalability for each market, including multi-lingual service desks. 
• An almost zero-touch model regardless of geographical location.
