Atos wants to flog its UCC services businesses, Unify, to Mitel

Atos has entered negotiations to sell its unified communications and collaboration (UCC) services business, Unify, to Canadian vendor Mitel.

The talks are part Atos’ divestment programme announced during its Capital Markets Day in June 2022.

The plan involves its separation into two publicly listed companies – Evidian, which would bring together its digital transformation, big data and cybersecurity services; and Atos (formerly TFCo), which would make up managed infrastructure services, digital workplace and professional services.

IT services giant Atos share price shot up after there were rumours that Airbus was snuffling around looking to buy its cybersecurity unit.

The group is reportedly in preliminary talks with Airbus to take a minority take in its Evidian business.

For those who came in late, Evidian is Atos’ Identity and Access Management software suite.

Last year the group announced plans to split into two publicly listed companies by spinning off its cybersecurity business under Evidian.

Atos shares picked up seven per cent following the report.
