A perfect match with Atos to enhance its digital transformation factory

With its innovative business model aligned to its client’s business challenges, Syntel generated USD924 million revenue in 2017, of which 89% was in North America, with 25% operating margin.

The Group employs 23,000 engineers in 30 countries, with over 18,000 staff based in India.

All of Syntel’s management team is expected to join Atos.


To strengthen Atos’ digital capabilities and existing Business & Platform Solutions and accelerate its Digital strategy

This transaction is a major step in the strategy of Atos to reach a global scale and significantly expand in both Digital services and Business & Platform Solutions.

The two organizations are fully complementary in their customer base, geographies, and services.

Syntel will enhance Atos’s Digital Transformation Factory thanks to a powerful suite of digital and proprietary solutions recognized by leading industry analysts as being the most advanced in Cloud, Social Network, Mobile, Analytics, Cloud and IoT.


To add Business & Platform Solutions activities in North America

As part of this transaction, upon closing Atos will immediately gain a significant scale in its Business & Platform Solutions Division in North America allowing it to address its existing client base and to offer them high value-add digital services in several specific verticals such as Banking and Financial Services, Healthcare, Retail, Logistics, Manufacturing, and Insurance.

Atos will also improve its margin profile in North America.


To significantly strengthen the Group’s Business & Platform Solutions Division with best-in-class delivery platform generating among the highest margins of the industry

Syntel will bring strong capabilities thanks to its best-in-class delivery platform which generates, through its state of the art delivery process, among the highest margins in the B&PS industry.

Syntel offers secure and technically advanced offshore environment with world class-campuses in India, securing access to a talent pool of over 18,000 employees.

A powerful combination with compelling value creation potential

The deal is expected to be EPS accretive immediately with double digit accretion as early as 2019 excluding the impact of PPA and implementation and transaction costs.


Significant cost synergies and cross-selling opportunities

Additionally, the Group expects to generate compelling and significant synergies both at cost and revenue levels.

Atos will benefit from tangible operational improvement by taking advantage of Syntel’s current offshore and talent supply chain to optimize its onshore/offshore headcount mix.

Most of those synergies are planned by applying Syntel’s state of the art industry performance to align Atos’s existing B&PS cost model.

Additional cost synergies are planned by improving operational effectiveness by reducing SG&A costs including real estate, and optimizing procurement by taking the advantage of the greater scale.

The total cost benefits are estimated at USD 120 million per year on a run rate basis by the end of 2021 with a linear phasing.

Strong portfolio and complementary customer base between the two companies will generate multiple cross-selling opportunities, many of them already identified, leading to revenue synergies of c. USD250 million to be achieved by the end of 2021, half of them by the end of 2020, with c. USD50 million operating margin.

The combination of the two companies will allow Atos to deliver a unique portfolio for end-to-end digital transformation to customers.

This will translate in already identified and actionable initiatives to generate revenue synergies in the following areas :

• Leverage Syntel’s portfolio in particular digital services, intelligent automation and IT modernization into Atos Clients into North America and Europe

• New Global capabilities to capture large End-to-End Digital Transformation projects

• Leverage Atos’ portfolio with Syntel Base in Cybersecurity, Big data, IDM and other Atos services
