Atos Origin has been responsible for all of the information technology for the chemical company, headquartered in Marl Chemistry Park, since January 1st. As part of the full IT outsourcing agreement, all of PolymerLatex’s IT staff will transfer to Atos Origin, aiding PolymerLatex in reducing its costs over the long-term.
This decision is a significant step for PolymerLatex, allowing it to gain greater freedom and advantages in terms of competition. It enables us to concentrate fully on our core skills and increase our competitivity, asserts Dr Christian Holtmann, Managing Director of PolymerLatex. Through our long term partnership with Atos Origin, we can make use of the most suitable IT resources at any given moment, and at the same time further improve quality and reduce costs.
The full outsourcing agreement between Atos Origin and PolymerLatex comprises the takeover of the IT infrastructure and application management along with the integration of IT staff.
In 2003, Atos Origin also signed a ten-year deal with Wolff Walsrode AG, a subsidiary of Bayer AG, to take over its IT-infrastructure. The success of this agreement meant that Wolff Walsrode was able to concentrate on its core business activities, while continuing to develop and optimize the scope of its IT services for the Walsrode industrial park’s companies.
