Amstelveen/The Hague, October 19, 2022 – The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (IenW) has awarded Atos with a contract for the housing, hosting, management, maintenance and public cloud migration of its SAP centric IT infrastructure, as part of the tender ‘housing, hosting, beheer en onderhoud van het Bedrijfsvoeringssysteem IenW’.

The initial term of the agreement – in which Atos will be responsible for supporting the SAP centric operations system for the purpose of financial processes, procurement and budget execution within the Ministry – is five years, with the possibility to extend the contract for a further five years.

With this new contract Atos will continue in its role as a primary SAP partner to the Ministry and for the transformation of its SAP system and requirements. In a two-phase approach enabled by Atos OneCloud, the Ministry’s SAP system will be migrated to Microsoft Azure public cloud and then business processes will be optimized to be moved to a Software-as-a-Service model.
