Frank Brand, managing director at ICTroom, said: “Strategic partnerships are no longer a ‘nice to have’. They are critical in building out competitive advantage in today’s more complex IT industry.

This partnership delivers a full end-to-end scope of services in data centre design, construction and commissioning and allows for a tangible relationship that is greater than the sum of its parts.”

The joint approach, said the partners, will “ensure a significant reduction” of overall delivery time to achieve a live site that meets the specific needs of each client’s data centre.

Atos recently a contract with the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) to deliver a major new element of the force’s IT services and systems strategy. Atos says it will provide the service integration and management tower (SIAM), service desk and other services to ensure a co-ordinated end to end delivery of ICT infrastructure.
