Atos Signs Major Contract with Henkel to Drive Digital Transformation


Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, has signed a contract to deliver large scale IT outsourcing services to Henkel, a global leader operating worldwide in three business areas: Adhesive Technologies, Beauty Care and Laundry & Home Care.

Additionally, this provides a foundation from which to use Atos Canopy Orchestrated Hybrid Cloud offering.
