Atos announces UK distribution partnership with Ingram Micro

Global consulting firm Atos has established a new partnership with Ingram Micro, which will enable the distribution of Atos’ unified communications and collaboration (UCC) portfolio. Marketed under the Unify brand, the services will look to bring the benefits of cloud collaboration to clients engaging in digital transformation.

International consulting firm Atos is a global leader in digital transformation, and working with cloud computing. It has worked regularly with clients to help them leverage new innovations in order to boost their business outcomes. Most famously perhaps, this saw Atos help Pyeongchang 2018 to be the first Winter Olympics remotely managed and hosted on the cloud. Earlier in 2019, Atos also further strengthened its cloud offering by partnering with CloudBees and Google to help customers modernise their application cloud development practices on Google Cloud.

Now, with particular focus on the rapidly growing cloud market, Atos has forged a new agreement with Ingram Micro, which will make the entire range of Atos’ UCC portfolio available to Ingram Micro reseller partners in the UK. Under the banner of the Unify brand, services will include the range of OpenScape UCC products and Circuit, an enterprise collaboration solution delivered through the cloud to organisations from three to 350,000 users.

Stuart Aldridge, SVP Unify Sales UK&I at Atos commented, “I’m delighted that the UK is at the forefront of this new dimension to our relationship with Ingram Micro. The rapid growth in cloud-based adoption of enterprise technology requires distribution with un-rivalled agility, profound market insights and dependability which Ingram Micro has demonstrated from decades of proven relationships.”

Ingram Micro is a technology firm which delivers a full spectrum of global technology and supply chain services to businesses around the world. It has a long-standing relationship with Atos, both delivering products and services to the other in multiple markets. This new agreement accelerates execution of Atos’ channel strategy for Unify solutions in the UK, and leverages Ingram Micro’s proven ability to work in partnership with the channel providing a dedicated and expert team, who provide trusted results and training programmes which enable partners to access a wealth of information to support and improve their business.

Colin McGregor, GM Datacenter, UCC & Business Development at Ingram Micro added, “Unify offerings support Ingram Micro’s solution driven approach to Unified Communications and Collaboration. With a complete platform and portfolio enabling users from desk to meeting room, Unify allows Ingram Micro’s customers’ to transition seamlessly from traditional on premise to the cloud.”
