Paris (France), July 27, 2021 – Atos
announced today that it has completed the acquisition of IDEAL GRP,
a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system integrator and
platinum-level solution partner of Siemens Digital Industries
Software, headquartered in Finland. IDEAL GRP offers consulting,
integration, software and maintenance services for businesses in
the manufacturing sector. The acquisition will add a highly skilled
team of approximately 100 experts to Atos with double platinum
status.
The past few months have exposed the fragility
of modern supply chains, leading manufacturing organizations to
accelerate their digital transformation in the search for increased
resilience and operational excellence. PLM provides a product
information backbone by integrating data, processes and business
systems.
Building on the acquisition of PLM specialist
Processia in June 2021, the operation is aligned with Atos’
industry-specific strategy and will reinforce its PLM and
Engineering Solutions franchise, while also expanding the Group’s
footprint in Northern Europe. Atos will provide the resources,
experience, and confidence to allow IDEAL GRP to focus entirely on
delivering the products and services needed by medium sized and
large enterprises to successfully deploy transformational Industry
4.0 initiatives.
Founded in 1992, and headquartered in Vantaa,
Finland, IDEAL GRP has a strong and longstanding partnership with
Siemens, built on around 30 years of cooperation. It is a leading
player in the Nordics market with offices in Finland, Sweden,
Norway, Denmark and Estonia.
“Manufacturers produce endless quantities of
data at all stages of a product’s life cycle, which is an
invaluable asset but becomes a true challenge when it comes to
using all this data to make better products. This is where PLM
systems come to the rescue and prove to be a key enabler for
Industry 4.0.” said Pierre Barnabé, Head of Manufacturing
Industry at Atos. “We look forward to working with IDEAL GRP to
help our customers in the manufacturing industry on their journey
to sustainable digital transformation”.
“Over the past years IDEAL GRP customers have
seen the significant change of PLM becoming more strategic and
integrated, touching the whole value-chain of manufacturing. With
Atos, we are now fully equipped to provide truly global and
scalable services while maintaining the close relationship and
local agility with our customers in the Nordics and Baltics. We
believe that transformation will only accelerate, and we are
excited to have the opportunity to work with Atos to help our
customers create a digital advantage at the heart of this dynamic
evolution. The long-lasting and strategic partnership between Atos
and Siemens combined with the breadth and scale of Atos’ portfolio
of offerings makes this an exciting opportunity for IDEAL GRP
customers and our people.” said Jaakko Hartikainen, CEO at IDEAL
GRP.
“Atos globally is a highly valued partner
deploying next generation solutions by using the world's leading
portfolio of Siemens Digital Industries Software. Together with
IDEAL GRP in the Nordics, their combined expertise will further
drive the digital transformation of our customers with deep local
expertise and a truly global backbone and investment capability. We
are truly excited to see this happening” said Mats Friberg, Vice
President & Managing Director, Nordic Operation at Siemens
Digital Industries Software.
