Atos and Dassault Systèmes Join Forces to Deliver Sovereign Cloud Platform Experience

Atos and Dassault Systèmes report a global partnership to offer the 3DEXPERIENCE software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform in a sovereign environment for critical and sensitive industries, notably in the defense and healthcare sectors. This secure deployment enables collaborative cloud experiences while providing full control of data, processes and intellectual property, the companies report. The platform can be set up in any country, with respect to industry and local regulations.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides organizations with a holistic real-time view of their business activity and ecosystem, in a single collaborative and interactive environment. Customers will benefit from the cloud platform in a dedicated sovereign environment, which will be managed and secured by Atos. Atos’ services rely on the Atos OneCloud Sovereign Shield, a set of methodologies, products and cloud services. To this end, Atos brings its cybersecurity expertise and solutions to meet the specific needs of critical infrastructures. This includes a Security Operation Center (SOC) and cybersecurity services to secure maintenance and administration activities.

Atos and Dassault Systèmes will explore further opportunities to expand their partnership, leveraging Atos cybersecurity products, Atos’ expertise in high-performance computing (HPC), and in critical systems development, in combination with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform solution.

“We are pleased to bring the Atos OneCloud Sovereign Shield to the SaaS applications domain, so we can offer a sovereign deployment of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to critical industries worldwide. The partnership between Atos and Dassault Systèmes confirms our shared ambitions to bring a unique offering to the market to improve the level of control that clients have over the usage of the data they produce and exchange,” says Pierre Barnabé, interim co-CEO and head of Big Data and Security, Atos.

“The growing adoption of virtual twins for product innovation as well as manufacturing and business operations, in all industries, elevates companies’ and administrations’ needs for hyper trusted platforms. To unleash the power of cloud, the whole stack—from IT infrastructure to business experiences—requires holistic, consistent cybersecurity operations,” says Bernard Charlès, vice chairman and CEO, Dassault Systèmes. “This alliance between Atos and Dassault Systèmes provides the highest level of experience-based security and sovereignty, using the collaborative power of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It opens new possibilities for trusted collaboration in domains where it has become critical, like healthcare and defense. This Virtual Twin Cyber Experience approach will also be applied to the joint solution itself.”
