"We can then hand that to a product team and to R&D and say, 'This is what customers are asking for--go develop a solution that we can then sell as a company,'" she says. The focus is on repeatable and scalable solutions, she emphasizes. The Atos team tries to understand a customer's needs and what their point of view is. It's "really important that we don't give our customers a point of view until after they've given us theirs," Flores says. It's key to build from that and really understand where someone is coming from for the best solutions. A unique approach of the lab is bringing in multiple stakeholders from different parts of the business.
