    Atos NEED Partners

Their "Test" for system performance of an Oracle Applications instance was to run a single program every 30 mins and if it completed within a certain time frame then everything was OK!!

    Their Support system is very poor, they fail to meet their own SLA and anything outside the SLA costs a fortune.

    Somehing has to happen

    Atos Origin has been losing good staff for some time now due to management's lack of long term vision and associated investment. Generally staff moral is low with unions in dispute with the company in Belgium and the Netherlands.

    The company's restructuring 3o3 program has the right intent but is too little too late. The company needs to do something radical, innovative and with long-term thinking in mind. It needs investment and for that it needs a major backer of some form.
