Atlas Copco outsources parts of its finance processes

“This outsourcing follows the same strategic development that has been successfully deployed in many other processes within the Group, for instance in manufacturing, logistics and information technology,” says Hans Ola Meyer, Chief Financial Officer of Atlas Copco AB. “Leveraging the size and global presence of Infosys will make it possible to further improve the quality and efficiency of the processes, at a competitive cost.”

The project will affect approximately 230 positions within Atlas Copco, and of these Infosys will offer employment to around 70 staff working in the Czech Republic. The transition of services to Infosys is planned to begin on November 16.
