A different approach to IT services

A year of exchanges in High-Tech Transactional Services

Atos Worldline is at the heart of a major industrial revolution: that of the information technologies which have changed the face of the world from their emergence in the 60s to the boom in the 2000s. We live in a world of hyper-exchange in which the timely and secure circulation and processing of information are of strategic importance.

At the heart of these processes, the core business of Atos Worldline gives meaning to information technology. Behind the flickering screens, we ensure the technology on which critical exchanges of digital information are based truly works. Whether processing a bank card payment, an e-mail or a purchase order on a financial market, the technological reality requires excellence, being rigourous and smart. We secure, transmit and process the digital data essential to the operation of the virtually invisible networks that now link our worlds together.

2009 was a very important year for Atos Worldline. The economic crisis we faced together with our customers strengthened our mutual ties, and despite the economic climate, we enhanced our services to meet needs which have now become fundamental. Dematerialisation and critical digital exchanges have a bright future ahead of them. The construction of a single payments area in Europe, the development of e-administration and e-Citizenship, the growth in e-communities, and the convergence of services onto mobile phones are all major changes we are responding to. The prospects are such that together with Atos, Atos Worldline has undertaken the dynamic deployment of its 'High-Tech Transactional Services' know-how on an even greater scale. We are one of the only market players capable of deploying global, end-to-end solutions in the field of hi-tech transactions. The offering we have created harmoniously combines productivity and customisation, competitiveness and operational excellence.

Today, we offer this expertise to flagship players wishing to ensure a perfect service on a permanent basis, whatever the circumstances.

Over and above the unique industrial production tool implemented by Atos Worldline, this business is primarily the result of a community of men and women who feel passionately about their work, focus on achieving their assignments and make every effort to give their best at all times to those who trust them. Sharing this "year of exchanges" with you also provides me with an opportunity to pay a tribute to the collective commitment of the people who make Atos Worldline.
