During the last 20 years, CPG and retail companies have increasingly been outsourcing activities to specialist providers of solutions and services, ranging from marketing and advertising, through to R&D, packaging and logistics execution. By bringing an end to the vertically integrated company, outsourcing has allowed these companies to focus on their core skills and competencies, reduce their cost base and thereby increase their flexibility and agility. This approach has enabled the creation of highly integrated value chains of interconnected partners, each contributing to the delivery of a unique value proposition.
There is a growing trend within the CPG and retail industries to engage the in-depth expertise of IT solutions specialists, such as Atos Origin, as part of their own extended enterprise to address the increasingly complex challenge of managing their IT infrastructures and transforming operational processes.
