- Responsive: Rich, engaging user interfaces that provide instant feedback based on user interactions and other stimuli.
"Just like the U.S., Europe is rethinking application infrastructure to support modern application scale requirements across distributed computing environments," said Francois Stieger, VP of EMEA and India at Typesafe. "Atos is one of Europe's top systems integrators and has already experienced great success with the Typesafe Reactive Platform in modernizing production environments at major brands, and we're excited to engage with Atos as a partner globally."
"During the past 2 years, several projects delivered by Atos have proven that the Typesafe Reactive Platform facilitates highly robust, scalable and efficient applications which help our clients to successfully address the business challenges of today and tomorrow. Customers can now rely on the combined strength of both organizations to accelerate their transformation towards the digital business", commented Francis Meston, Executive Vice President, Global Consulting and System Integration at Atos.
