The global communications service for more than 350,000 employees
Following one of the world’s largest rollouts of a collaboration solution, Siemens AG now has an end-to-end communications infrastructure for more than 350,000 employees throughout the company. Circuit from Atos replaces the previous UC solutions and combines messaging, audio and video conferencing, and screen sharing in a single, intuitive application.
“We can look back on a long and successful business relationship with Atos, and so we knew that Atos has the right solutions and the know-how to create and implement an end-to-end communications concept.”
Dr. Helmuth Ludwig
CIO at Siemens AG
