Atos Extends IOC Sponsorship Until 2020
The International Olympic Committee has confirmed that Atos, the French technology firm, has renewed its worldwide TOP partnership of the IOC until 2020.
As part of the four-year extension to the brand’s existing deal with the IOC, Atos will provide technology services including integration, core hosting and systems management services for the 2018 winter Games in PyeongChang as well as the 2020 summer Games in Tokyo.
Atos first became a sponsor of the IOC in 1989 and last year signed a deal to extend its role as the Official IT Services Provider until 2024.
The chairman and chief executive of Atos, Thierry Breton, said of the extension: ‘We are particularly proud of our long-term partnership with the International Olympic Committee – a relationship based on enduring trust. We will continue to surpass ourselves from one Olympiad to the next, powering progress for the Olympic Movement. Atos leads in applying innovative yet proven business technology, such as secure cloud services, in highly complex projects, bringing together processes, technologies and people.’
Thomas Bach, president of the IOC, added: ‘Technology is critical to the success of each edition of the Olympic Games. We are delighted that we will be able to continue relying on Atos and its vast experience to deliver flawless, innovative IT services.’
