Two years ago, Siemens Enterprise Communications re-branded as UNIFY. “Unify, is a joint venture between the American private equity firm The Gores Group and German industrial conglomerate Siemens AG,” according to Wikipedia. It is a premise-based comms platform. Now, Atos is buying Unify from Gores and Seimens.
Gores is a a global investment firm. “Together we invested in innovation, rebranded the company, recruited an impressive management team, and transitioned the business to a channel-driven, software-first company.” Gores added.
Atos is a global Managed IT consulting firm with 11 billion Euro in revenue. Atos has its hand in all things IT: “provides Consulting & Systems Integration services, Managed Services & BPO, Cloud operations, Big Data & Cyber-security solutions, as well as transactional services through Worldline, the European leader in the payments and transactional services industry.”
I am told that “a very large portion of ATOS is the former Siemens Information Systems group.”
Interesting to see what happens next.
