Atos operates seven Business and Technology Innovation Centers at its offices around the world. One of them is on the fourth floor of its building in Irving. These BTICs, as the company calls them, show off some of the solutions that Atos has worked up for its customers—like connected coolers for Coca-Cola. Employees and customers alike are invited to check out demonstrations and presentations there.

They also host events meant to spark further innovation, like a hackathon for students from the University of Texas at Dallas earlier this year. Another benefit of that is the possibility of future recruitment of talent from the school.

Company culture is more than a motivational banner. Here are six tech companies with offices in Dallas-Fort Worth—Dialexa, Koddi, Salesforce, Deloitte University, Atos, and Alkami—that “walk the walk” as well as “talk the talk.”

“We’re trying to build that momentum around really bringing in these super-talented graduates and interns and growing them from the ground up,” says Amy Brown, senior vice president of human resources.

Atos consolidated multiple DFW locations for its North American Regional Headquarters in Irving to reimagine a culture of collaboration. The facility offers state-of-the-art technology for its employees, along with an open environment with large workspaces, touchscreen interfaces, and wireless presentation tools.

Tatianna Flores leads the Google cloud AI lab at Atos’ North American headquarters in Irving. Flores and a team of eight machine learning engineers and solutions architects strive to solve big problems.

Atos’ priority is its employees and has been recognized for its engagement and well-being programs. Its new space highlights accessibility and environmental sustainability, two key elements of its design.

The company, a global leader in digital transformation with 110,000 employees in 73 countries, has 18 R&D centers in nine countries and around 5,000 patents.
