Atea ASA has signed an agreement with Microsoft to accelerate Atea's sales of
cloud services and offerings. The 3-year agreement enables Atea to build more
than 25 new services on the Azure platform. The agreement will help drive Atea
strategy in three core investment areas: Cloud, Sustainability and Security.
The new collaboration with Microsoft aims to respond to Atea's growing customer
needs for cloud services and cloud operations delivered by Atea. Atea has
recently signed multiple new cloud agreements with large private and public
enterprises across the Nordics.
The agreement will enable Atea's customers to reduce their carbon footprint
through migration to modern datacenters based on cloud technologies, also
supporting Atea's strategy within sustainability. During the past year, Atea has
won numerous recognitions for its efforts within sustainability, including a
ranking as the world's most sustainable company in the IT Services Division by
Corporate Knights, a globally respected research and media company. In addition,
Atea has earned the highest rating (platinum) in environmental and social
performance by EcoVadis for three years in a row, ranking Atea among the top 1%
of more than 90,000 companies evaluated.
