Renault renews Atos Origin contract

Successful running of operations since 2005 leads to further deal

Renault has had a deal with Atos since 2005

Car manufacturer Renault has awarded a three-year IT services contract to Atos Origin.

The contract covers applications relating to vehicle design, manufacturing, sales and corporate functions.

The deal follows a similar contract between the firms dating back to 2005, which saw a succesful overhaul of IT development.

With the new contract, Renault has extended Atos Origin’s remit to include owner-operator support services, where the supplier will cover 75 per cent of the scope of applications.

Renault CIO François Gitton said: "We will continue this partnership and are counting on Atos Origin to take our IT systems to an even higher level, in our drive for competitive advantage. We will need to be even more proactive and continue to reduce our costs."
