Atos named Google Cloud ‘Global Social Impact Partner of the Year’
for 2020
Paris, 21 July 2021 – Atos
today announced that it has been named “2020 Global Social
Impact Partner of the Year” by Google Cloud for its
dedication to helping organizations quickly and sustainably
overcome the challenges related to COVID-19.
This award also recognizes Atos’ ongoing
commitment to decarbonization, embodied by its ambition to reach
“net zero” by 2028. In 2020, the group reduced its global carbon
emissions by 15%, of which 10% was caused by structural improvement
in addition to the effects of COVID-19.
A few initiatives that helped Atos earn this
recognition:
- Increasing telehealth adoption with Google
Meet – COVID-19 had the most significant impact on
healthcare workers and Atos helped them overcome some of these
challenges with Google Cloud technology. While many medical
practices have been moving towards adding telehealth capabilities,
the COVID-19 pandemic pushed some to offer it much more quickly
than anyone was expecting. Atos worked with healthcare
organizations to launch regulation-compliant Google Meet video
conferencing capabilities integrated with Epic software in a few
short weeks.
- Using Data to combat the opioid crisis – while
COVID-19 was the primary focus of 2020, other public health crises
did not slow down. Worldwide, about 500,000 deaths are attributable
to drug use and more than 70% of these deaths are related to
opioids1. Few people realize that behind this epidemic, one of the
biggest hurdles is a data problem that hinders the work of those
trying to bring life-saving resources to areas and individuals most
affected by substance abuse. Atos is building a digital platform
for overdose reporting and tracking hosted in Google Cloud. An
administrative dashboard with real-time data visualizations will
help identify, among other things, geographic hotspots. This will
help channel life-saving medications to the places they are needed
most.
- Boosting economic recovery with virtual career
centers - to support the economic reopening, regional and
national administrations are reimagining how they can help the
public reenter the workforce. To aid in these efforts, Atos
launched a Virtual Career Center solution, powered
by Google Cloud, to help public organizations leverage innovative
technologies and get their communities back to work. Atos’ team
built and delivered the first and most innovative workforce
development program of its kind in the U.S.
“We’re proud to recognize Atos as our Global
Social Impact Partner of the Year,” said Kevin Ichhpurani,
Corporate Vice President, Global Partner Ecosystem at Google
Cloud. “Atos has demonstrated its commitment to critical
health organizations throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, including
helping migrate one of the largest non-profit health systems in the
U.S., Ascension Health, to Google Workspace and ensuring a smooth
transition to remote work.”
“We are particularly proud to have been named
the 2020 Global Social Impact Partner of the Year by Google Cloud.
From enabling telehealth with Google Meet, to helping states launch
a virtual career center, to our decarbonization initiatives, Atos
has been focused on making a positive and lasting impact on our
world during this unprecedented year. This commitment is rooted in
our company’s purpose and applies to our entire portfolio. It
allowed us to successfully leverage our expertise and Google Cloud
technology to help organizations in all industries keep their
workforces safe, engaged and motivated during this difficult year,”
stated Wim Los, SVP Cloud Enterprise Solutions,
Atos.
This award further strengthens Atos’
relationship with Google Cloud and complements Atos’ position as a
Google Cloud Premier Partner with 11 Google Cloud Partner
Specializations.
