Equens has started two outsourcing projects in the Netherlands in which parts of the automation are outsourced to Atos Origin, an international IT services company. These outsourcing contracts have come about using consultancy services of Quint Wellington Redwood.
For the coming five years Atos Origin is responsible for the outsourcing of parts of Equens’ mainframe services.
Atos Origin will also manage the office automation for all of Equens Nederland’s workstations. Following these agreements, Atos Origin and Quint issued a press release.
By outsourcing these activities, Equens creates a basis for flexible and innovative operations in the future. This is necessary as we operate in a competitive market which, with the arrival of SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) is characterised by increasing scale and consolidation. Through outsourcing to Atos Origin we expect to increase the organisation’s agility and achieve our concrete ambitions for growth. To achieve these objectives Equens has to be able to focus on its core activities: manage electronic payments on a large scale and offer related services that our clients need.
