Atos has reached an agreement to acquire Ipsotek, a leading AI enhanced video analytics software provider. With this acquisition, Atos, already a major player in Edge AI/ML and more specifically Edge Vision, will strategically reinforce its leading position in Edge and Computer Vision by adding key software capabilities and IP to its solutions portfolio.

VISuite also provides multi-camera tracking capabilities. The company has executed more than 600 projects in 38 countries. The acquisition will add a highly skilled team of approximately 50 professionals to Atos.

 

Atos’ and Ipsotek’s combined capabilities will create a unique proposition across the entire value chain for the public sector, retail, manufacturing, transportation, and critical infrastructure sectors and make them a partner of choice in the computer vision market.

 

With this strategic move, Atos is reinforcing its leading position in Edge and Computer Vision and complementing its existing end-to-end offering in Edge AI/ML. Ipsotek’s extensive experience, its highly skilled experts and powerful product suite will strengthen the Atos teams and create a truly unique offering on the market” said Pierre Barnabé, Senior Executive Vice President, Global Head of Big Data & Security at Atos.
