Delivering In-House Big Data and Analytics Courses
How Atos brought big data and analytics knowledge and skills in-house to apply in everyday consultancy situations
Atos, a global leader in digital transformation with approximately 100,000 employees in 73 countries, provides an in-depth big data training program for its Dutch and Belgian employees. After a rigorous selection process, they chose to partner with Xebia to develop and deliver some of the courses.
Bring in-house big data and analytics knowledge and skills to next level to apply in everyday consultancy practice.
Why
Training courses on Hadoop, Machine Learning, Python, R, Spark and Text Analytics & Search with examination and certification.
What
Consultants can provide expertise on big data and analytics for their clients.
How
Our Approach
For the consultants at Xebia, teaching is always part of the job. Working onsite with clients often involves working with people who don't know as much about data science and data engineering. Since the consultants often have to explain a lot, their teaching skills come in handy. It also works both ways. Because of their abilities and consultancy experience, the Xebia trainers can also teach others how to build robust and scalable data science solutions and bring them into production.
Data Scientists and Data Engineers
Responding to market demand, Atos had already been working in big data and analytics for several years but wanted to develop its in-house competencies.
Hadoop Cluster, Jupyter Notebooks, and Python
The entire training program consists of approximately 60 modules and includes some general subjects, such as working agile or Scrum, and design thinking. For the more technical modules, Atos teamed up with Xebia to develop courses for Hadoop, Machine Learning, Python, R, Text Analytics & Search, and Spark.
“The Xebia trainers are also consultants who work directly on projects with their clients. Since we believe in combining theoretical knowledge and practical experience, we see a great fit with Xebia.”

According to participant feedback, Xebia courses are extremely beneficial, valuable, in-depth, and demanding.
Flexibility, agility and the ability to tailor programs to the maturity of the group are key for Atos, and so again, another reason why we found a great fit with Xebia, said Rakké.
We wanted to accelerate our capabilities in this field, so we chose to be trained by the most experienced practitioners we could find; the people from Xebia. They are so much more than a courses supplier, they are teachers, in every way.
