EPZ - EPZ is an energy company operating a nuclear power station, a coal fired power station which also uses biomass, a gas turbine and a wind turbine park which provide some 6 percent of the electrical energy needs of the Netherlands. Safety is the first priority, but EPZ’s mission is also to be a low cost, but very efficient, energy producer and so it is always looking at ways to improve its processes and the way it does business. In late 2006, following a public tender selection process, EPZ decided to outsource its generic IT services to Atos Origin. This contract encompasses the IT infrastructure, the help-desk, workplace services and application management.
