Atos Origin wins Royal Liver Assurance contract

This is the first time that RLA has outsourced its Group IT in this way and the primary drivers for doing so now are to achieve cost savings and provide flexibility for future business change whilst at the same time maintaining regulatory compliance.

Under the contract Atos Origin will take over management of all of RLA’s IT infrastructure, services and applications with the exception of the already outsourced progress infrastructure.

The Atos Origin team in the UK will work closely with RLA to support front office services and technology management. Server and applications management as well as service desk support will be delivered through Atos Origin’s off-shore facilities in India and Malaysia.

Kevin Dobson, Group Assurance Director at RLA said: “Atos Origin demonstrated an excellent understanding of our business which reassured us that by working together we will be better able to strengthen our own performance. Equally important for us was cultural fit; with over 70 of our staff transferring to Atos Origin, we chose an organisation with a strong base in the UK.”
