Alexander Mann Solutions, a provider of international recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), announced today the successful implementation of a significant new 150m contract with international IT services company Atos Origin.



With global revenues of over Ä5 billion and 47,000 staff worldwide, Atos Origin works with clients in all major sectors, focusing in the UK on the public sector, transport, medical services, financial services, and telecoms, media and utilities.

As part of a comprehensive RPO arrangement, Alexander Mann Solutions has been engaged to deliver 400 IT and professional contingent workers and 200 administrative temporary workers annually to Atos Origin over a five-year contract period.

The service also involves a vendor neutral supply chain component, and the design and management of an associate programme.

The solution will be delivered to Atos Originís sites across the UK, operating out of a centralised function based in Atos Originís London offices. The implementation of the service commenced in November 2004 and the partnership is expected to deliver cost savings of over 7 million over the life of the contract.

The team deployed by Alexander Mann Solutions has been experienced, professional and collaborative at all times, and I look forward to a similar approach to the delivery of their service.

We are delighted with the successful completion of this phase in our relationship with Atos Origin, commented Matthew Rodger, Practice Director for IT Services & Technology at Alexander Mann Solutions. We expect to deliver significant and sustained process efficiencies and cost savings to Atos Origin, and the length of the relationship we have entered with them is a real vote of confidence in our ability to do so.
