360Quadrants, the world’s only comparison platform that combines expert analysis with crowdsourced reviews, has released a quadrant on managed services to help businesses make quicker and more informed decisions.
Managed Services is defined as services deployed by an enterprise to manage their IT infrastructure. Managed services help enterprises control their expanding IT infrastructure and focus on their core competencies. By using managed services, enterprises can move away from maintaining and managing their IT functions such as IT infrastructure, network management, security, communication and collaboration, and data centres.
Atos is a French information technology service and consulting company specializing in unified communications, hi-tech transactional services, big data, cybersecurity services, and cloud. On 360Quadrants, Atos is designated as a Visionary Leader, meaning that it is a leader in the managed services industry. It has a strong portfolio of managed services and uses robust business strategies to expand in the market.
Atos has teamed with Siemens, a global powerhouse of technology, to deliver private cloud options with the MindSphere Cloud-based IoT Operating System. The two companies have entered a preferential partnership agreement to provide this solution. Through MindSphere, Atos and Siemens fully leverage the technology in Microsoft Azure Stack to give enterprises the benefit of private instances of Microsoft Azure.
