Xerox said Tuesday it wants to concentrate on the business process outsourcing and document outsourcing markets following the sale.
Atos disclosed in late 2014 that the transaction includes a $1.05 billion upfront payment and $50 million in additional consideration.
Both companies also seek to expand their collaboration to offer integrated ITO platforms to customers.
Xerox expects the sale to generate approximately $850 million in proceeds and plans to use the money to repurchase shares and finance acquisition pursuits.
