The IT team, led by Atos Origin, Worldwide IT Partner to the International Paralympic Committee and the Olympic Games, will set up new systems and run quality control checks.

Four thousand athletes, including three sponsored by Atos Origin, will compete over the 12 days of the competition, which starts on 6 September.
