European chip maker NXP has outsourced datacentre management services in a five-year, €155m deal.
Atos Origin was selected for the global deal which will include performance indicators including systems availability, continuous service, cost reductions and output performance levels.
"Our strategy focuses on increased efficiency by returning to our core activities. We were extremely pleased with the speed and flexibility during the procurement process. Both parties have worked together in close co-operation, always focussing on NXP’s business requirements," said Louis Luijten, CIO of NXP Semiconductors.
The chip maker, founded five years ago by electronics conglomerate Philips, is headquartered in Europe. The company has 37,000 employees in 20 countries and posted $6.3bn (£3.2bn) in sales last year.
