English Heritage renews outsourcing contract with Atos Origin

Atos Origin has won an outsourcing contract to provide IT support at over 120 English Heritage sites and offices across the UK from Tintagel Castle in Cornwall via Stonehenge in Wiltshire to Hadrians Wall in Northumberland.

Under the contract, worth £ 7 million over 2 years, Atos Origin will manage desktop, data centre, network, customer support centre, disaster recovery and application support services as well as providing training, maintenance and service management for English Heritage, the UK government organisation responsible for protecting the historic environment in England. This includes historic buildings, monuments, battlefields and archaeological remains.

“This new contract win further strengthens our position as a leading supplier to the Public Sector in the UK”, commented Anne Ware, vice president for Public Sector. “Since working with English Heritage we have completed a number of projects including relocation to a new head office in London, desktop and server technical refreshes. Building on this success we will continue to work closely together to ensure service excellence across its entire organisation and to improve their business processes.”
