IRVING, Texas and SÃO PAULO, Oct. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Atos today announces it has been selected by Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL), a global sustainable chemical company, to implement the company's first, cohesive digital operations that will bring together its Integrated Oxides and Derivatives (IOD) verticals across North and South America into a hybrid cloud environment.

Atos' solutions will enable a faster time-to-market for the company through automated and optimized cloud orchestrations, increasing developer productivity and reducing operational costs.
